What does God really require of us?In this Father's Day message, Pastor Blake takes us into the life of Enoch—a man remembered throughout Scripture for one simple reason: he walked with God.Through the story of Enoch and three deeply personal moments with his own father, Pastor Blake explores the importance of presence, discipleship, slowing down, and cultivating a daily relationship with our Heavenly Father.This message is an encouragement for fathers, families, and anyone longing to experience a deeper walk with God. You'll be challenged to move beyond performance and discover the joy of simply living in step with the Father.Scripture: Genesis 5:24, Hebrews 11:5, Micah 6:8, John 12:24 Series: Everyday Heroes Speaker: Pastor Blake Church: ONE ChurchAt the end of our lives, may it be said of us what was said of Enoch: "He walked with God."Support the show

Sermon Title: Secrets on the Road to TimnahSpeaker: Pastor Sean HarrisDate: June 20, 2026Key Text: Genesis 38As part of the Summer Sermon Series: Joseph – God's Providence for His Remnant, Pastor Sean Harris takes us to one of the most difficult and surprising chapters in Scripture—Genesis 38.At first glance, the story of Judah and Tamar seems out of place in the narrative of Joseph. Yet hidden along the road to Timnah are profound lessons about sin, deception, justice, grace, and God's sovereign plan. Even in the midst of human failure and broken choices, God is at work, preserving His promises and advancing His redemptive purpose.In "Secrets on the Road to Timnah," Pastor Harris uncovers the truths often overlooked in this passage and reveals how God can bring hope, restoration, and purpose out of our darkest moments. This message reminds us that our failures do not have the final word—God's grace does.YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠youtube.com/@GarlandAdventist⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more information on Garland Faith Community SDA Church visit ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.garlandadventist.orgTags: #PastorSeanHarris #JosephSeries #SecretsOnTheRoadToTimnah #Genesis38 #GodsProvidence #Faith #BibleStudy #ChristianSermon

What if following Jesus isn't just about where you go when you die—but about what God wants to do through you right now?In the final content episode of Season 10, we wrap up our journey through the biblical story by exploring the bookends of Scripture: Genesis and Revelation. Together, we unpack a powerful truth: the Bible isn't simply a story about escaping earth for heaven—it's the story of God bringing heaven and earth back together and inviting us to participate in His renewal of all things.From prayer walks and fasting to servant leadership and starting Bible studies, we share practical ways Greek students can join God's mission right where they are. Because if God's kingdom is about “on earth as it is in heaven,” then your fraternity or sorority matters deeply to Him.Whether you're wondering how to live out your faith in Greek life or dreaming about what God could do in your chapter, this episode is an invitation to stop playing defense and start joining God's work of renewal.Key Question: What would it look like for God's will to be done in your fraternity or sorority?To learn more about being Greek & Christian or to connect with one of us, fill out our contact card!For more from The Greek & Christian Podcast, follow us on:- Instagram- TikTok- YouTube

Scripture: Genesis 18; Exodus 3; Daniel 3 and 10; Isaiah 6 Christ actually appeared to various individuals in various forms before He was born in Bethlehem. His message to each one varied by the circumstance, but it was always life and/or circumstance changing. He always perfectly communicated truth and always at no charge. A summary of these is what He would likely say to us.

Is real unity possible? What does it look to go beyond politeness to genuine oneness among people who are genuinely different? On Trinity Sunday, Fr. Nathan Dearen makes the case that unity is at the heart of who God is. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit: three persons, one God, eternally distinct and eternally one. If that's who God is, then the church doesn't have to choose between diversity and unity.Scripture: Genesis 1:1–2:4a; 2 Corinthians 13:11–13 (NRSV)Preacher: The Rev.

Ryan Robertson advocates for missionaries and churches to prioritize global cities as harvest fields. Growing up in multicultural Toronto where he openly shared the gospel with Sikh, Hindu, and Muslim classmates, Robertson demonstrates that cities are natural gathering places where diverse peoples converge. Since Babel's dispersion, humans have migrated toward cities rather than away from them, making urban centers strategic locations for gospel witness and discipleship. Reassess your church's mission strategy to include the strategic importance of reaching unreached peoples gathering in global cities. Scripture: Genesis 11 (Babel) Topics: Global cities, Urban missions, Cultural diversity, Gospel witness, Church strategy

Series: God's Promises, Our JourneyTitle: "Will you trust God with your future family?"Scripture: Genesis 24:1-67 NIV Hebrews 11:9-13Bottom line: When we rest in God's promises, Grace finds us.INTRODUCTIONCONTEXTOUTLINECONCLUSIONDISCUSSION QUESTIONSNOTESYOUTUBE DESCRIPTIONMAIN REFERENCES USEDMy opening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. Bottom line: When we rest in God's promises, Grace finds us.OPENING STORYI find myself thinking more and more about the future. Between caring for our aging parents, supporting our kids and grandkids, and taking our health and finances seriously so that we minimize our burden on our kids, we're thinking more and more about the future. And when you do that it's tempting to become anxious and to try to do things without trusting the Lord by taking control where we should surrender to the Lord. This is common but not wise. Today I want to challenge us with this question: Can you trust God with your future family? Can I? Will I?My bottom line for today is this: When we trust in God's promises, grace finds us.What promises?For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son...(John 3:16)For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life...(Romans 6:23)If you confess with our mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in our heart, God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9-13)I'm preparing a place for you (John 14)I'm coming back. (Various)Are you resting in God's promises? If you are, your life will look different. Your journey will be richer and more satisfying and will lead to life everlasting where the best is yet to come!CONTEXTAbraham is old. (140) Sarah is dead. (Genesis 23) Isaac is 40. Unmarried. No kids/grandkids. God's promise that his descendants will be more than the stars in the sky and the sand on the sea shore is hard to believe at this point. Yet, Abraham is resolved to see this through. He will show that as he trusts God with the future of his family. He trusts God to keep his promise. And this affects his journey--how he will live in light of those promises. OUTLINEI. Abraham trusts God with the future. (24:1-9)II. The servant trusts God with the process. (24:10-27)III. Rebekah trusts God with courage. (24:28-61)IV. Isaac trusts God to provide. (24:62-67)CONCLUSIONBottom line: When we rest in God's promises, Grace finds us.When you look to the future, how can you best trust God's promises?You believe and receive God's promises starting with the most important promise. "If you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."Have you done that? Have you crossed that line of faith regarding your future here and now, as well as, in the hereafter? Turn from your wicked ways to a Savior who forgives and forgets. Who is preparing a place for you where the best is yet to come.Believe and receive the Lord Jesus Christ today!In Jesus' name,AmenPrayQuestions (Write this down) - grab an index card and penWhat is God saying to you right now?

This Week at Genesis | Build an Altar In Genesis 12, Abram responds to God's call by building altars along the journey—places of encounter, remembrance, and surrender. This message explores why altars mattered in Abraham's story and what it means for us to build rhythms of devotion in our own lives today. Even in the middle of fear, famine, and uncertainty, God continued to form Abraham through faith and obedience. As a church, we're invited to return daily to the presence of God, creating space for prayer, fasting, worship, and breakthrough.

May 3, 2026Zachary WinnickIn Genesis 22, Abraham is asked to sacrifice his son Isaac. It is a moment filled with tension, confusion, and deep faith. This passage reveals not only Abraham's story, but a powerful picture of God's plan to provide through Jesus.In this message from our [Series Name] series, we explore:• Why God invites us to sit in tension instead of avoiding it• How faith grows through both promise and process• What Genesis 22 reveals about Jesus and God's redemptive plan• How to trust God when life feels unclear or brokenWhen what once felt certain begins to fall apart, it's easy to fight for control or walk away. But God meets us in that tension, inviting us to know Him more deeply and trust Him with our story.

‭‭‭‭‭‭Scripture: Genesis 1:26 (ESV) Then God said, “Let us make man 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.”Proverbs 18:21 (ESV) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.Joseph delivered LIFE/DEATH with his words: Genesis 40:1–23 (ESV) Some time after this, the cupbearer of the king of Egypt and his baker committed an offense against their lord the king of Egypt. And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker, and he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined. The captain of the guard appointed Joseph to be with them, and he attended them. They continued for some time in custody. And one night they both dreamed—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison—each his own dream, and each dream with its own interpretation. When Joseph came to them in the morning, he saw that they were troubled. So he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, “Why are your faces downcast today?” They said to him, “We have had dreams, and there is no one to interpret them.” And Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Please tell them to me.” So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph and said to him, “In my dream there was a vine before me, and on the vine there were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters ripened into grapes. Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup and placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand.” Then Joseph said to him, “This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days. In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office, and you shall place Pharaoh's cup in his hand as formerly, when you were his cupbearer. Only remember me, when it is well with you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh, and so get me out of this house. For I was indeed stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should put me into the pit.” When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was favorable, he said to Joseph, “I also had a dream: there were three cake baskets on my head, and in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating it out of the basket on my head.” And Joseph answered and said, “This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days. In three days Pharaoh will lift up your head—from you!—and hang you on a tree. And the birds will eat the flesh from you.” On the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, he made a feast for all his servants and lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants. He restored the chief cupbearer to his position, and he placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand. But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them. Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.Infusing Life With Your WordsSing Out LoudThe Command To Sing: Psalm 105:1-2 Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples! Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works!The Power Of Song In Battle: Psalm 149:6–8 (ESV) Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands, to execute vengeance on the nations and punishments on the peoples, to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron,The Effects Of Singing Over Circumstance: Acts 16:25-26 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were unfastened.We strive to sing declarative songs that often repeat the main point so that we declare to our situations the powerful truth to God.2 Kings 13:18–19 (ESV) And he said, “Take the arrows,” and he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground with them.” And he struck three times and stopped. Then the man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck five or six times; then you would have struck down Syria until you had made an end of it, but now you will strike down Syria only three times.”Read/Declare Scripture Out LoudJohn 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.Revelation 1:3 (ESV) Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.Pray Out LoudLuke 11:1-2 Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” And he said to them, “When you pray, say: “...You need to vocally declare/commitYou need to inform yourselfYou need to inform othersYou need to inform your situationYou need to inform the enemyBless Others Out LoudNumbers 6:22-27 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, Thus you shall bless the people of Israel: you shall say to them, The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. “So shall they put my name upon the people of Israel, and I will bless them.”James 3:3-12 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing.Proverbs 18:21 (ESV) Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.

Scripture: Genesis 2:15–25 “So, in the one-flesh union of marriage... the married couple comes together completely, as long as they both shall live. In real terms, two selfish me's start learning to think like one unified us, building a new life together with one total everything: one story, one purpose, one reputation, one bed, one suffering, one budget, one family, and so forth. Marriage removes all barriers and replaces them with a comprehensive oneness. It is this all-encompassing unity that sets marriage apart as marriage, more profound than even the most intense friendship.— Ray Ortlund, Marriage and the Mystery of the Gospel. + Relational Oneness: A Superlative Love“A husband must do his best to see that no one know his wife's faults but himself and God. He should be unwilling to voice them to anyone but God, to pray that she may be pardoned for them and reformed from them. Likewise, a wife must do her best to keep her husband's struggles and sins to herself, as matters of prayer and not gossip. Neither spouse should be surprised by the sins of the other, for each of them is well aware of their own sins. Can it be helpful to uncover faults in public and fling mud in each other's face? Will this help a husband reform or a wife to repent? And which is more displayed in such a case, the spouse's faults and weaknesses or the gossip's unkindness, indiscretion, backbiting, and folly? Does not the family dog behave better than this when it barks at strangers but not at members of the family?” – Joel Beeke, Purtians on Marital Love. + Spiritual Oneness: A Spiritual LoveHebrews 3:13 NIVHebrews 10:24 NIV“…especially to be helpers of each other's salvation: to stir up each other to faith, love, and obedience, and good works: to warn and help each other against sin, and all temptations: to join in God's worship in the family, and in private: to prepare each other for the approach of death, and comfort each other in the hopes of life eternal.” – Richard Baxter + Physical Oneness: A Sexual Love Matthew 12:20 NIV Proverbs 5:15–20 NIV

In this message, “Carrying Family Idols,” we explore Genesis 31:27–35 and the hidden danger of carrying old patterns into new seasons. This teaching reveals how misplaced trust and inherited mindsets can hinder our freedom in Christ. Through the gospel, we are reminded that true security is not found in what we carry, but in who we trust. From Rachel hiding idols to God calling His people into freedom, we see that what is concealed will eventually be revealed. When we surrender what we've been holding onto, we step into the fullness of our identity as sons and daughters.
