Genesis 1:1-31 | In the Beginning, God

Genesis 3:1-7, 21 | Clothed by Grace

The sermon from Pastor Eric, Genesis 3:1-7, explains how temptation begins by questioning God’s goodness and shifting attention from His generosity to His restrictions. Adam and Eve’s sin reveals that disobedience is rooted in the heart long before it appears in outward actions. The sermon warns that shame often leads us to hide or cover ourselves, but God calls us to repentance instead. Ultimately, it points to Christ as the better Adam, whose righteousness fully covers our guilt and restores our hope of paradise with God.

Genesis 2:24-25 | God's Design for Marriage

The sermon teaches from Genesis 2:18–25 that marriage is a covenantal union designed and defined by God. It emphasizes that marriage is between one man and one woman, joined together by God, and meant to display His glory. Pastor Josh teaches that marriage is not merely a legal contract or cultural tradition, but a lifelong promise rooted in God’s design. Ultimately, earthly marriage points beyond itself to Christ’s covenant-keeping love for the church, calling believers to embrace both God’s design for marriage and Christ as the ultimate bridegroom.

Genesis 2:18-23 | A Suitable Helper

This sermon focuses on Genesis 2:18–23 and teaches that biblical womanhood is essential to God’s design for humanity. Pastor Eric Josephsen teaches that women are equally valuable image-bearers of God, uniquely created to help fulfill humanity’s purpose alongside men. Pastor Eric emphasizes three main points: humanity needs women, God has a distinct role for women, and God has given women a glorious design. Pastor Eric closes by connecting Adam and Eve to Christ and the church, calling believers to celebrate and defend God’s design for men and women.

Genesis 2:4-17 | Men of Dust

The sermon explores Genesis 2 and God’s design for manhood, emphasizing that a real man knows where he belongs: in the presence of God. Pastor Josh teaches that men are called to work, cultivate, and protect what God has entrusted to them for His glory and the good of others. The message also highlights that true manhood depends on trusting God’s Word rather than self-rule. Ultimately, Jesus is presented as the perfect man who succeeded where Adam failed and makes the way back to God possible.

Genesis 2:1-3 | The Rest We Need

Pastor Josh teaches that God created Sabbath rest as a gift, and humanity’s deep rest is ultimately found in Christ. Because of sin, people live restless lives, but Jesus offers rest now for weary souls and eternal rest in the life to come. The message also encourages believers to practice regular rhythms of worship and rest as a reminder that they belong to God and are still journeying toward their final home.
