In this message, Pastor Chris Donald teaches that “Do not murder” is more than avoiding physical violence—it's about valuing life because every person carries the image of God (Genesis 1:26). Murder is an assault against God Himself, but Jesus raises the standard by addressing the heart behind it: anger, bitterness, and hatred (Matthew 5:21–22). Radical love transforms us from taking life to giving life, from cursing to blessing. Pastor Chris reminds us that life is sacred, abortion is murder, and the Church must stand for the innocent and voiceless. True obedience flows not from legalism, but from radical love for God and people.

Because of the heinous crime committed against Charlie Kirk, cold blooded murder, many people are divided on whether his murderer should receive the death penalty. Utah is a state that upholds capital punishment for certain crimes. According to God, there are actually two reasons for the death penalty  The first reason is because man is God's highest creation, and we are an image bearer of God (Genesis 1:26). To murder a person, who is made in the image of God, is in essence to slap God in the face, dishonor, and sin directly against God. Listen as Bill and Annette provide biblical insight in regard to capitol punishment and what God has said in His word.

Genesis 31:1-16

Made in the Image of God Genesis 1:26-2:3 Pastor Phil Rushton

Gregg DeMey, Lead Pastor

Todaywe move on to Ephesians 2:4-9. When we looked at verse 1-3, we see ourselves assinners. Paul points out what our sin nature is, what our sin condition is.What is the tragic consequence of sin in our hearts and lives. We are dead intrespasses and sin. Paul teaches us we're disobedient because of that and weare the sons and children of disobedience. We're depraved. We fulfill the lustof the flesh. We do what comes naturally. And then we also are doomed. We'rechildren of wrath. The wrath of God already abides upon us outside of JesusChrist. That's the condition that we're in. That's the work of sin in our life. Thenthere is God's judgment on sin. God's decree on sin is death “Then when lusthath conceived, it bringeth forth sin. And sin when it is finished, it alwaysbrings forth death” (James 1:15). “The wages of sin is death…”(Romans 6:23). God told Adam, “The day you eat of the fruit of the tree, youshall surely die”. That's the result of sin. It's death. That's what'shappening in the world today. When sin runs rampant and when people aren'tcoming to Christ and being saved. Only the life that we can have in Christ andthe life that gives us a new nature, the nature of God Himself, the Holy Spiritliving within us, can change that. We don't need reformation, we needtransformation! (2 Corinthians 5:17).  Ilove the very two words of verse 4! “But God”. First, we see our sincondition (vv. 1-3), but thank God we immediately have a “But God”. Readverses 4-9 again: “But God who is rich in mercy..."“ButGod”. Didyou know that over 46 times you read in the Scriptures that phrase, “But God”.Things are bad, sin abounds, evil is everywhere, “But God”. Joseph wassold into Egypt as a slave by his brothers. But he told them, “It was notyou who sent me here, but God…” (Genesis 45:8).  In Genesis 50:20 he went on to tell them, "Youmeant it for evil, but God meant it for good." My friend, when youbring in God, everything changes. You see, sin seems to rule, “But God”. Ilove the many “But God” verses you find in the Bible. After describingthe future judgment of the wicked, the Psalmist declares: “But God willredeem my soul from the power of the grave, For He shall receive me” (Psalm49:15). Psalm 73:26, "My flesh and my heart fail, but God is thestrength of my life."  In 2Chronicles 20, King Jehoshaphat was facing an army that you couldn't evennumber. He was fearful, but he called a fast, fell on his knees, and prayed.And in 2 Chronicles 20:15, the prophet told him, "The battle is notyours, but God's."  Ilove the “But God” in these verses: “For scarcely for a righteous man will onedie; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But Goddemonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners,Christ died for us” (Romans 5:7-8). Yes, “The wages of sin is death butthe gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans6:23).  Aren'tyou thankful for the “Buts” in the Bible? They make all the difference,especially when you focus on God. Paul first focuses on us as sinners in thefirst verses, but now he focuses on God. And with God, I tell you, we havehope. Tomorrow we're going to talk about how God is rich in His mercy. He'srich in His grace. He's full of love because He is love. But today, I trustthat you will look to Jesus and know that He is your only hope of salvation ifyou're without Christ.  Today,I'm convinced that we are seeing God doing some great things across thiscountry. The message of the Gospel is being preached from places we would neverhave imagined a few years ago. And the Gospel tells us, “But God”! God lovesus. He cares for us. He's provided a way of salvation. And I tell you today, Hewill save you and anyone who comes to Him by faith and humility.

Speaker: Richard Hong"The Call of God"Genesis 11:27-12:7www.risenhayward.com

God shows you what he's like—his eternal power and divine nature—by what he has made so that you can know him.

On Sunday morning, we continued our sermon series in Genesis with chapter 38. In this chapter we see the death of two of Judah's sons, sexual immorality, and the birth of twins. While a peculiar moment in redemptive history, we see Christ in it. We hope this sermon blesses you in the Lord. Originally September 14th, 2025. Hank Atchison. Covenant Church. Tuscaloosa, AL.

This sermon centers on God's perception of humanity's hearts and the resulting divine grief over widespread corruption, as depicted in Genesis 6. The speaker emphasizes that God's standards of good and evil transcend human subjective feelings and cultural norms, asserting that God alone accurately judges the intentions of the heart. Despite overwhelming wickedness, the narrative highlights Noah finding favor (grace) with God due to his faith and obedience, offering a solitary point of hope amidst impending judgment. The sermon concludes by linking this ancient account to the modern need for repentance and faith in Jesus, who is presented as the ultimate absorber of God's just wrath against sin.Support the showThanks for listening!

In the Beginning God…  Genesis 1:1-25 Pastor Phil Rushton

Gregg DeMey, Lead Pastor

Jason Turner, Director of Congregational Engagement

What does it really mean to be made in the image of God? In this series, Imago Dei, Greg and Nathan dive into one of the most foundational truths of the Bible: that every human being is created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26–27). But what does that actually mean? How does it shape our identity, purpose, and relationships? Through honest conversation and practical insight, they tackle key questions like: How are humans different from animals and angels? What's the difference between being like God and being God? What does the image of God say about our worth—even in a broken world? How does it affect the way we relate to others, steward creation, and find our purpose? And how does Jesus show us what it really means to live as true image-bearers? Whether you're new to theology or looking for a deeper understanding of your identity in Christ, this episode lays the groundwork for a powerful journey through the doctrine of the Imago Dei. Subscribe now and join Greg and Nathan as they explore what it means to be human, made in the image of God.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    Yesterdays podcast… wow, I am so rusty that I forgot to give the application at the end… If you were listening you were probably like… great story… but what about it?    God IS at the true center, but man is the Subject - the central focus of God's dealings,  covenants,  redemption,  Salvation And all of creation     1. Man as the Crown of Creation In Genesis 1, God creates everything else (light, land, plants, animals) in preparation for mankind. Man alone is made “in the image of God” (Genesis 1:26–27), setting humanity apart with dignity, responsibility, and eternal purpose.   C.S. Lewis: “There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.” From The Weight of Glory. Lewis emphasizes the eternal significance and divine dignity of every human being.       2. The Fall of Man Brings the Central Problem The story of sin (Genesis 3) revolves around mankind's choice. All of Scripture unfolds as God's response to man's fall — judgment, mercy, covenants, law, prophecy, and redemption.   3. God's Covenants Are Made With Man Noah, Abraham, Moses, David — all receive covenants that are not just about them but about mankind's destiny. Each covenant progressively points to how God will restore man to Himself.   4. The Law and Prophets Were Given for Man's Guidance The Law was given to teach man holiness, reveal sin, and point toward the need for a Savior (Galatians 3:24). The prophets consistently address man's rebellion, calling him back to God.   5. Christ Took on Humanity for Man's Salvation The Incarnation is God becoming man (John 1:14), placing mankind at the heart of redemption's story. Jesus is called the “Son of Man” over 80 times, highlighting His role as the perfect representative of humanity.   When I was in 8th grade I remember understanding how important a play was when my coach who had no pads on went through the drills to show us.    6. The Cross Was for Man's Redemption The central event of Scripture is the death and resurrection of Christ — entirely for the salvation of mankind (Romans 5:8). The cross demonstrates God's love for man while satisfying His justice.   7. The Church Is Composed of Redeemed Men and Women The Church is the body and bride of Christ (Ephesians 5:25–27). God's plan is centered on transforming human lives into Christ's image and using them for His mission.   8. The Holy Spirit Indwells Man God's Spirit lives in believers, making man the temple of God (1 Corinthians 6:19). This shows that the Bible's story is not just about man being saved but about man becoming the very dwelling place of God.   9. Man Will Reign With Christ Revelation 5:10 says believers will “reign on the earth.” God's original intent in Eden (dominion over creation) will be fully restored — man will rule with Christ in righteousness.   10. The Eternal State Is Focused on Man's Fellowship With God The climax of the Bible's story is Revelation 21–22, where redeemed humanity dwells with God forever: “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man.” Heaven and earth are renewed specifically for man to live in perfect fellowship with his Creator.   It can be said ITS ALL ABOUT JESUS, BUT JESUS IS ALL ABOUT US/MANKIND!      Gen. 1:26 Then God said, “Let Us make mankind in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the livestock and over all the earth, and over every crawling thing that crawls 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.   A.W. Tozer: “The yearning to know what cannot be known, to comprehend the incomprehensible, to touch and taste the unapproachable, arises from the image of God in the nature of man.” From The Pursuit of God.

Of all the great mysteries that we find in the Bible, this particular passage in Genesis 6 seems to sit right at the top of our list. Who are the Nephilim? Are these the children of the “sons of God” who impregnated earthly women? Are they demi-gods? Are they giants? I'm sure you likely have more questions, but these are the questions that I brought to the text this week!Support the showThanks for listening!

In this episode, we explore a powerful question: What is the purpose of consecration? Consecration is more than a religious act — it's about aligning with the holy nature of God. Scripture reminds us that God is holy and calls those who serve Him to walk in the same nature (Exodus 19:23, Isaiah 6:3, Leviticus 11:45, 19:2, 1 Peter 1:15–16). He Himself is the standard, and through His Spirit, He transforms us to reflect that standard — but it begins with dedicating ourselves fully to Him. We'll uncover how consecration sets us apart, cleanses us, and makes us useful vessels in the hands of God. In His house, there are many vessels, but He chooses the holy ones. To truly serve Him, we must walk in the identity Christ has given us, living as the image of God (Genesis 1:27) — because the image ruling us ultimately shapes our behavior. The holiness of God consumes all that is not holy, and consecration is His way of preparing us to stand, serve, and fulfill the purpose for which we were created. Through consecration, He sets us apart from the crowd so we can serve Him well.

Today, we examine the Scriptures to learn what it means to be created in the image of God.  Join us in Genesis 1, as we search the Scriptures for the answers.

Today,we want to continue in Ephesians 1. Now remember the chapter starts with twolong sentences. The first long sentence begins in verse 2 through verse 6, andtells us how God our Father has given us a great spiritual blessing in the factthat He has chosen us, He has adopted us, and He has accepted us in Christ. Allbecause of what His Son Jesus Christ has done for us. We are a blessed people.We're rich in Christ. That's the theme of the book.  Thenin verses 7-10, we have another long sentence. And this is what Jesus Christthe Son is continuing to do for us even today. We have redemption through Hisblood. We have forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His grace. Yesterdaywe talked about how through His grace He made to abound toward us in all wisdomand prudence. We have the wisdom of God and the discernment of God to do what'sright to please Him.  Todaywe are looking specifically at verses 9-10: ”Having made known to us themystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which He purposed inHimself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of times, He might gathertogether in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are inearth in Him”. And that's the last part of this big sentence. What we findout here is that not only has He redeemed and forgiven us, He has also madeknown to us “the mystery of His will”.  Thisletter has much to say about God's plan for His people. A plan that was noteven fully known even in Paul's day. The word mystery that we read here, and isused several times in the book, has nothing to do with something eerie. Itactually means in the Scripture a “sacred secret” once hidden but now revealedto God's people. We believers are part of God's inner circle. We are able toshare in the secret that God one day will unite everything in Christ. Eversince sin came into the world, things have been falling apart, as you well know.First man was separated from God (Genesis 3). Then man was separated from manas Cain killed Abel (Genesis 4). People tried to maintain some kind of unity bybuilding the tower of Babel in Genesis 11. But God judged them and scatteredthem across the world.  Godcalled Abraham and put a difference between the Jew and the Gentile. Adifference that was maintained until Christ's death on the cross. Sin istearing everything apart. But in Christ, God will gather everything together inthe accumulation of the ages. We are a part as His church, even as Gentiles ofHis eternal program. He unites all things in Christ. What a blessing that themystery of God's will, bringing everything back together in Christ will befulfilled one day when Jesus Christ comes back again and sets up His kingdom.  That'sGod's plan for the ages. Oneness in Jesus Christ. No matter who we are, rich orpoor, educated, uneducated, no matter our language, our culture, we are allrich in Christ. And one day we will experience that final unity. But even now,we can have that unity because we're in Christ. It doesn't matter whether we'refrom India or China or America or Africa or South America. It doesn't matter. AsI go to different places in the world, there is this oneness despite ourlanguage barriers in Christ.  Thisis the will of God that we can have this unity in Christ. This is the will ofGod that we can be saved from the sin that separates us. God is not willingthat any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9).  Myfriend, what a great blessing we have in Christ today. And we ought to enjoythis blessing of unity, knowing the will and plan of God for the ages. Amystery that was hidden but now is made known to us in Christ.  Godbless!
