This week we step into the Garden of Eden as we continue our first video series from Tyndale House, Cambridge, exploring Genesis (The Creation Story).Though this series is also available on podcast platforms, it is designed to be watched, with visual explanations that complement the text well. Episode 4 examines the dramatic opening verses of Genesis 3:1–8 — the moment the serpent speaks, Eve responds, and humanity steps across a threshold that changes everything. These verses have shaped centuries of theology, interpretation, and debate, and we explore why they remain so significant today. In this episode, we take a research‑rich, accessible journey through some of the most searched issues surrounding the fall narrative:How does the serpent subtly twist God's generosity, and what does the Hebrew reveal about his strategyHow do Genesis 1, 2, and 3 interlock linguistically and structurally, despite claims of multiple authorsWhat exactly, if anything, did Eve hear in Genesis chapter 2, and how does that shape her response in Genesis chapter 3?What does it mean to “be like God, knowing good and evil,” and how does this relate to the innocence of Genesis 2Where do we see both judgement and grace woven through God's words in Genesis 3:14–19What hidden numerical patterns in the Hebrew text reveal the psychological and literary brilliance of the chapterPerfect for viewers searching for Genesis commentary, Bible study videos, the Fall of humanity explained, Old Testament background, Hebrew narrative analysis, and how Genesis 1–3 fits together.Whether you're exploring scripture for the first time or diving deeper into familiar passages, this episode offers a thoughtful, engaging look at one of the most pivotal moments in the biblical story — a narrative that explains the world we live in today while displaying remarkable literary depth.This episode is hosted by Dr Peter Williams, Principal of Tyndale House, Cambridge, and author of Can We Trust the Gospels? and The Surprising Genius of Jesus. He is joined by Dr J Caleb Howard and Dr James Bejon, who both work on the Old Testament Names Project at Tyndale House.Come back in two weeks as we continue our deep dive into Genesis chapter 4.Support the showEdited by Tyndale House Music – Acoustic Happy Background used with a standard license from Adobe Stock.Follow us on: X | Instagram | Facebook | YouTube
On this Trinity Sunday we think about God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Three persons, one God. In the beginning we see all three present, and that man is created in their image, the image of God. Much has happened since that time, and that begs the question: Are we created in the image of God? And that might make us first ask this question: What is the image of God? As we see Jesus who is fully God and fully man, maybe He can provide an answer for us.
The Christian doctrine of humanity sees the human person as made in God's image, either a man or a woman by God's making, fallen through Adam's historical sin, formed for vocation unto God, and redeemable in and through the God-man, Jesus Christ. -The Gospel Coalition Three life changing questions… 1.How did God make you? v.26 God made you with... 1.Divine Dignity 2.Distinct Dominion 2.What did God make you? v.27 1. God made you male or female 3.Why did God make you? 1. God made you for His glory Your creator made you for a reason. Build your life on this.

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE: This week, we kick off our summer teaching series, Human. We learn how Genesis 1 answers a question the world gets wrong.

To whom was God speaking in Genesis 1.26 when he said, “Let us make humanity in our image”? My guest today, Sam Mansfield of Adelaide, South Australia, has found six different answers to this question. In the following interview, I ask him about his recent presentation at the inaugural Australian Unitarian Christian Alliance conference, called “Wrought with Wisdom: How Solomon Understood Genesis 1:26, 3:22 & 11:7.” Mansfield puts forward the deliberative position with a twist.

31 May 2026 | This week Pastor Evan starts a new sermon series on Genesis, starting in Genesis 1-2 on how God created us to be deeply understood, seen, and loved by our Creator. Genesis 1-2 The Creation of the World 1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. 6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse[a] in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” 7 And God made[b] the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. 8 And God called the expanse Heaven.[c] And there was evening and there was morning, the second day. 9 And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry land Earth,[d] and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. 11 And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants[e] yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. 12 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day. 14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons,[f] and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 16 And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day. 20 And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds[g] fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” 21 So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day. 24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 26 Then God said, “Let us make man[h] in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said,

This week, we launch our new sermon series exploring how God shapes ordinary people through blessing, disruption, doubt, mercy, and trust. Before we act, build, or grow, we are formed by a promise that frees us from fear and calls us to become Christ in the community.

The sermon confronts the profound offense and enduring beauty of Genesis 1:1—'In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth'—as a foundational declaration that challenges human autonomy, exposes the rejection of divine accountability, and reveals the ultimate scandal of Christ as both Creator and Redeemer. It argues that this verse is offensive because it asserts a sovereign Creator, a beginning, and moral accountability, directly contradicting the natural man's desire for self-rule and the modern secular worldview that reduces existence to chance or materialism. Yet the same verse is beautiful because it points to Jesus Christ, the eternal Word through whom all things were made, who humbled Himself to bear the penalty of sin and offers salvation to all, including those who oppose Him. The message calls believers to live in gratitude, recognizing that every square inch of life belongs to Christ, and to embrace the truth of creation not as a relic of ancient myth, but as the basis for meaning, order, and hope in a world awaiting restoration. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a response of worship, submission, and faithful proclamation of the gospel in a culture that denies its very foundation.

Year A, Trinity SundayGenesis 1 from BEMAText In Us: Genesis 1
Darkness does not get the final word when God says, “Let there be light.” We slow down with Genesis 1 and let that first creative command become personal again, not as a distant Bible moment, but as a living invitation to breathe, receive, and come close to the Father's heart. If your mind feels loud, your body feels tired, or your emotions feel bruised, this guided devotional points you toward a steadier place: the light of God's face shining on you with attention, tenderness, and strength. The closing blessing ties it all together with a prayer for protection, peace, and the Father's face turned toward you. If this strengthened you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs light today, and leave a review with the line that stayed with you.
