The Promise of PresenceToday's Passage: Genesis 28:15-17Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land.

Safe by Association | Genesis 18 What does it mean to be spared by God's mercy, not because of our own righteousness, but because of who we're connected to? In this message, Pastor Zach Terry walks us through Abraham's bold intercession for Sodom, Lot's tragic compromise, and the sobering destruction that followed. We'll see how: - Laws give instruction, but consequences bring conviction. - Lot "drafted" behind Abraham's faith without making it his own. - God's judgment is just—but His mercy is greater still. At the heart of the story is a powerful truth: only by being Safe by Association with the Righteous One, Jesus Christ, can we stand on the day of judgment.

Jacob - Living in the Grip of Unrelentless GraceSpeaker: Pastor Ashley GardnerPassage: Genesis 29:31-30:21
Last week we were introduced to God as the good ruler and creator of a good world. We were placed in that good creation to take care of it. So, have you ever wondered why so many things in this life are relentlessly so difficult, so painful, and so frustrating? Why so many things are so far from what they should be? As you look at the world around you, do you ask yourself where it all went so wrong? As Christians, we believe that the fundamental problem rests within each one of us; it lies within our own hearts. We call it sin. But what is sin? How did sin come into the world? ‘Everything that is wrong in our lives and in the world stems from the fateful choice humanity has made. From the very beginning, we didn't want God to be our ruler. We rejected him as God by deciding to live our own way, in defiance of him.' How this happened and how it impacts everything is what we will look at today.Passage: Genesis 3:1-24Preacher: Jimm de WittSupport the show
There has been an increase in emotional distress across our world over the last decade.

Passage: Genesis 1:26-28, Matthew 28:18-20 Date: 19 October 2025 Speaker: David Eastwood Summary: This Sunday, David Eastwood is sharing with us during their time home from Taiwan, serving with OMF. Exploring the creation mandate in Genesis reveals our fundamental purpose: to glorify God through our relationships and stewardship of the earth. As we reflect on Jesus' Great Commission, we see that this call to make disciples is not just for missionaries, but for all of us.
