Genesis: Abraham Tested - Genesis 22

This is the final sermon in our series in Genesis.

Genesis: Covenant Obedience - Genesis 17

In Genesis 17, God renews his promises to Abraham and calls him to respond with faithful obedience. Although Abraham and Sarah seem far too old to have the promised son, God proves that nothing is impossible for him. This sermon explores the relationship between God’s grace and our response: we don’t obey in order to earn God’s promises, but because we have received them. The covenant sign of circumcision pointed to a heart devoted to God, and ultimately to Jesus Christ, through whom God’s promises are fulfilled. Because we have been saved by grace, we are called to trust God and live for him.

Genesis: The God who Hears and Sees - Genesis 16

In Genesis 16, Abram and Sarai grow impatient with God's promises and take matters into their own hands, creating pain, conflict, and brokenness. Yet in the middle of human failure stands a God of extraordinary compassion. This sermon explores Hagar's story, the mistreated servant whom God sees, hears, and blesses. Far from overlooking the vulnerable, God reveals himself as the God who sees the broken-hearted and listens to their cries. Ultimately, Hagar's experience points us to Jesus, who came for the lowly, oppressed, and weary. Discover the assurance, comfort, and hope found in the God who sees you.

Genesis: God's Covenant - Genesis 15

In this sermon from Genesis 15, we see Abram wrestling with doubt, fear, and unanswered questions yet meeting a God who is utterly faithful. As God reassures Abram with covenant promises, we’re reminded that salvation and assurance don’t rest on our performance or feelings, but on God’s unchanging word fulfilled in Jesus. Discover how God’s covenant with Abram points forward to the cross, where Christ secures forgiveness, righteousness, and certainty for all who trust in him. Whatever fears or doubts you carry, hear God’s promise again: “Do not fear.” In Jesus, we can know for sure that God is faithful and entrust ourselves completely to him.
