Pastor Lisa challenges us to clear the spiritual and emotional “clogs” in our hearts so we can live freely in God's grace.

Through practical steps—self-regulation, prayerful reflection, honest confession, and regular “heart checks”—we discover how to prevent bitterness from building up and hurting those around us.

"Restoring the Generations Identity in Christ" Scripture: Genesis 3:1-11Apostle Suzanne M Howard

How does the gospel affect your work?  We're in a series where we're asking, “What happens when you take the gospel, the basic message of Jesus Christ, out of the church and into the world?” One of the things that happens is it affects the way in which you do your work. And there's no way to see the Christian understanding of work without going to Genesis 1, 2, and 3. I'd like to show you three things Genesis tells us about your work: 1) it gives you a vision for work, 2) it gives you guardrails for your work, and 3) it gives you a power to do your work. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 10, 2010. Series: The Gospel and the World. Scripture: Genesis 1:26-28; 2:2-17. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

At first glance, Issachar and his descendants seem to be overlooked in the Bible. However, careful examination shows that they were men of means, men of might, and men of understanding and discernment. As a type, they show us that no one is small or insignificant to God. He sees our hearts and our commitment, and He has called us for a purpose.

The Apostle Paul, speaking on general revelation in creation, stated, “For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them.” (‭‭Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭19‬ ‭ESV‬‬)As we consider this truth, we dig below the surface and ask; “What is the work of creation?”, and why has God purposed it with the design and framework it has been given.Scripture:Genesis 1: 31, Hebrews 1: 1-4, Exodus 20: 11, Hebrews 7: 12-19, Acts 20: 7, 1 Corinthians 16: 2, Revelation 1: 10, 1 Corinthians: 16: 1-4, Hebrews 1: 10-12, Revelation 10: 6-7PBHB GIVEAWAY: https://www.stayreformed.com/giveawayAdditional References:Buy A Puritan Catechism: ⁠https://a.co/d/esRURdt⁠Read A Puritan Catechism: ⁠https://www.chapellibrary.org/pdf/books/cwpr.pdf?srsltid=AfmBOop_iUZJzFz_3HbHFqJUqPMbSUhhfZUx9FY_-KuyKA9_kwqb8Kh6The Second London Baptist Confession (1689): https://founders.org/library-book/1689-confession/https://www.chapellibrary.org/pdf/books/lbcw.pdf?srsltid=AfmBOorAi1b6iCPqv94DjBcMhSSpcDOGwJrb9hXJSlgqxrFSgo9ofc0-Social Media:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StayReformedTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/stayreformedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stayreformed/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stayreformedpodcast/Website: https://www.stayreformed.com/Email: contact@stayreformed.com

Scripture: Genesis 3:7-24 Key Takeaways: + The Ruin “The effects of sin touch all of creation; no created thing is in principle untouched by the corrosive effects of the fall. Whether we look at societal structures such as the state of the family, or cultural pursuits such as art or technology, or bodily functions such as sexuality or eating, or anything at all within the wide scope of creation, we discover that the good handiwork of God has been drawn into the sphere of human mutiny against God. ‘The whole creation,' Paul writes in a profound passage in Romans, ‘has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time' (Romans 8:22).” – Creation Regained, Albert Wolters. -       Loss of Perfection -       Loss of Peace -       Loss of Presence   The Restoration -       The Search -       The Seed -       The Skins Revelation 21:1–5 Revelation 22:1–6

Scripture: Genesis 2:18-25 Key Takeaways: + Marriage is a good gift from God. + Marriage is designed for companionship and partnership “…not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved.” – Matthew Henry + Marriage is designed for permanence and exclusivity “So, in the one-flesh union of marriage, all the boundaries between a man and a woman fall away, and 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. + Marriage is designed for vulnerability and security + Marriage is meaningful but not ultimate Ephesians 5:31-33
