Jesus Christ is coming again to judge the living and the dead.

While the church awaits the blessed hope, the return of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, we should expect the Kingdom and gospel of Jesus Christ to triumph.

Seven hundred before the Son of God came in the flesh, the prophet Isaiah prophesied about the Servant of the Lord who would be exalted and triumph, bringing salvation to the nations through suffering. This amazing prophecy of our Lord Jesus Christ was fulfilled and is being fulfilled as the gospel continues to go to the nations of the world.

But David was totally unique and the most important king. The Lord said, I have selected David as “a king for Myself”, “a man after My own heart”. Samuel anointed David, about a thousand years before Christ was born. It's one of the most important events in the Bible.

The book of Joshua presents to us a new era in redemptive history. Moses has died and Joshua is called to lead the next generation of Israelites into the promised land. Joshua is important in the overarching story arc of the bible for two reasons. First, it fulfills the God's land promise given to Abraham that his offspring would inhabit. Second, the book of Joshua points to the true and greater Joshua, Jesus Christ, and the ultimate rest He gives us by faith and a future "homeland", "better country" for all the redeemed.

The message is obedience and disobedience matters! You choose one or the other, and it affects your life - now, and your future and your eternity! As Joshua said, “Choose this day who you will serve!” Life with God is blessed and full. Life without God will end in disaster.

In the Bible God is telling us the real true story of history. And God advances His story in quite surprising and unexpected, even shocking ways! And it matters that we understand not only what God has done and is doing, but how God does things in this fallen world.

The story of the exodus is a story of God revealing himself to Moses as a covenant God who delivers His people through judgment and mercy.

Abraham matters, not only because he left his home by faith, or offered his son on Mount Moriah. He matters because the blessing, the favor of God upon you, comes through Abraham.

The flood is a story of destruction but God's purpose was to save his creation from the extreme wickedness that had taken over the earth. So God chose to save Noah, to rescue just enough of created life, that a new start was possible. God did that with Noah's family and 2 of every kind of animal.

Genesis 3 is one of the most important chapters in the Bible. Without it, we can't even begin to understand the darkness, conflict and sadness that's characterized human history, and has touched even our own lives. It tells us the world we live in is not the world as it was created by God in the beginning.

As image bearers of God, recreated in Christ, we are called to fill the earth, exercising the authority God has assigned to us to create, build, design- in other words to build a Christian culture.

When understanding the big picture of the Bible, we have to go to the beginning. God, the strong Creator made everything out of nothing by His mighty word. His creation was good - intentional, orderly, and full of life. We all see that things have gone terribly wrong. Sin entered the world and death through sin. But God is not done with His creation.
