When people in the West were faced with the atrocities of World War II, the culture's prevailing optimistic views of human nature were devastated. Two questions kept coming up: what's wrong with us that we're capable of this, and what are we going to do about it?  Isaiah 52 to 53 was written to answer those same two questions. It was written to a nation facing exile, to people who were about to face captivity, atrocities, and prison. And it has maybe the most well-known answer in the Bible to the question about human evil: God is sending somebody, the servant of the Lord. In this passage, we learn 1) who he is, 2) why he came, and 3) what he did. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 28, 1999.

In Isaiah 61, we have one of the great prophecies about the Messiah. It tells us the Messiah is going to deal with the problems of life—and that shows us something about sin.  Sin is not just breaking God's scale and breaking God's heart; it's also breaking God's design for us. God's law is also the design print of your heart, the way you were built to work. So when you break God's law, you're trampling on yourself. In Isaiah 61, we can see 1) what the problem is, 2) what God is going to do about it, and 3) how we should respond. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 21, 1999. Series: What's Really Wrong with the World. Scripture: Isaiah 61:1-11.

From silly phobias to real panic, fear shows up in parenting all the time. Adam, Chelsea, and Cassie talk about crowds, kids going missing for a minute, and the dread of what could happen when we're not there. Then they walk us into Scripture—Isaiah's “fear not,” Jesus lifting Peter out of the waves, the father begging, “help my unbelief,” and a God who literally carries His people. This one's practical, honest, and full of grace for moms and dads who need to breathe and remember: our kids—and our hearts—are in stronger hands.Resources Mentioned:Good News for Parents by Adam GriffinIsaiah 41:10Deuteronomy 1:31Matthew 14:22–33Mark 9:24 – “Help my unbelief.”Luke 15 – The Father's heart.Matthew 6:25–34Psalms of Lament (starter set) – Fear meets faith.Job (opening) Follow Us:Instagram | Facebook | WebsiteEditing and support by The Good Podcast Co.

But scripture reminds us: “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine.” (Isaiah 43:1)In this first message, we'll look at God's promises in the midst of our fear and discover how His presence reshapes the way we face life's challenges.As you prepare for worship, take some time to reflect on these questions: What fears have been most present in your life lately? How have those fears shaped your thoughts, words, or actions? Where have you experienced God's presence breaking through your fear?  Come ready to bring your honest fears before God—and to hear His words of comfort and strength.Sunday Worship Schedule 8:45 AM – Contemporary Worship 10:00 AM – Sunday School 11:00 AM – Traditional Worship

This week at Genesis, we're celebrating a new chapter—we're moving! Chris takes us back through our history, highlighting where we've come from so we can better understand where God is leading us next. This move isn't just about a new location, but about carrying forward the heart of Genesis into a new space where God can continue to grow and shape us. We hold onto the promise of Isaiah 54:2: “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes.” We believe God is calling us to expand and prepare for the future He has in store.

Send us a textHave you ever questioned whether your most fundamental biblical beliefs are actually found in Scripture? This eye-opening episode challenges conventional Christian understanding by examining what the Bible truly says—and doesn't say—about some of the most commonly misunderstood spiritual concepts.The conversation begins with a provocative exploration of the identity of Lucifer. Despite widespread Christian agreement that Lucifer is Satan, we discover this connection isn't explicitly stated in the Bible. Lucifer appears exactly once in Scripture (Isaiah 14:12), referring to the king of Babylon who exalted himself like God. This serves as a powerful reminder that many "biblical truths" we accept without question may actually stem from church tradition rather than Scripture itself.Moving to Genesis, we examine the first biblical prophecy where Christ (the seed of the woman) would bruise the serpent's head while the serpent would bruise His heel. This prophetic picture was fulfilled at the cross, where Jesus suffered temporarily but decisively crushed Satan's dominion through His resurrection. As one participant colorfully states, "Satan is God's dog on a leash doing His bidding."The discussion takes a fascinating turn when exploring Jesus's parable of the unjust steward in Luke 16. Through careful analysis, we unpack how God (the rich man) entrusted Israel (the steward) with covenants, promises, and oracles that were mishandled. This leads to Jesus's clear warning that "you cannot serve both God and mammon"—a timeless truth for believers navigating today's complex world.Perhaps most relevant for contemporary Christians is our fresh examination of the Mark of the Beast. Rather than focusing on physical marks or inability to buy groceries, we reveal how this mark represents spiritual ownership and conformity to worldly systems—politically, economically, and religiously. The ultimate question isn't about commercial transactions but spiritual allegiance: are you sealed by God's Spirit or branded by the beast?Listen now to strengthen your biblical foundation and learn to distinguish between what Scripture actually teaches versus what tradition has added over centuries. This episode will equip you to defend your faith with confidence and clarity.Support the show

Isaiah 60 describes the new heavens and the new earth. It's looking to the end of time when God makes everything right—paradise restored. And in this passage, all the nations of the world are bringing their work products.  What is gold and silver? What is the flux and the grain? They're bringing the products of their work to God as offerings to God. And this means that just as there was work in the original paradise, there'll be work in the future paradise.  What does that mean for our work? Let's notice three things: 1) the goodness and dignity of work, 2) what's wrong with work, and 3) how work can be healed. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 10, 2016. Series: Where We Are Going: The City and the Mission. Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-11, 18-21.

Should We Have Kids in a Dark World?Big Questions: Is it wise or faithful to bring children into a world filled with suffering, evil, and uncertainty?Am I making life decisions from faith or fear?“Many Christians today are wrestling with fear, disillusionment, and sorrow over the state of the world.”Common concerns: evil, school shootings, cultural decline, financial uncertainty, environmental decayAffirm that this is a valid and deeply emotional question.2. Why Are People Afraid to Have Children Today? List cultural and global concernsReflect on emotional and spiritual reasons:Fear of sufferingResponsibility for shaping a soulHopelessness about the futureScripture Reflection:Ecclesiastes 1:2, 14 – “Meaningless! Everything is meaningless... I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.” Even in Scripture, people wrestled with despair over a broken world.3. God's View of Children in a Broken World A. Children Are a BlessingPsalm 127:3–5 – “Children are a heritage from the Lord... Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.”God calls children a gift, not a burden.B. God Brings Life in DarknessGenesis 1:28 – “Be fruitful and multiply...” (original calling)God didn't rescind this even after the Fall.Jeremiah 29:4–7 – While in exile in Babylon, God tells Israel to build homes, plant gardens, marry, and “increase in number.” Even in dark times, God calls His people to live fruitfully.C. Children as Light-BearersPhilippians 2:15 – “...that you may become blameless and pure, children of God... in a warped and crooked generation. Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky.”Our children can be raised to reflect light, not just survive the darkness.4. God Has Not Given Us a Spirit of Fear 2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.”Fear is not a trustworthy counselor—faith is.God doesn't promise ease, but He promises presence.5. What About Wisdom & Discernment? It's not a sin to delay or decide against having children, if done in prayer and obedience, not fear or despair.Romans 14:23 – “...everything that does not come from faith is sin.”Decisions should be rooted in peace and trust in God's will for your life.6. Legacy & Mission in Dark Times Children are disciples in our homes.Parenting is missionary work.Malachi 2:15 – “Has not the one God made you? You belong to him in body and spirit. And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring.” God desires the next generation to know Him.7. Closing EncouragementQuestion for you to reflect on as we close…..How might God want to use future generations to redeem the brokenness in our world today?We don't bring children into the world because the world is good— We bring them into the world because God is good.Whether you raise spiritual children, foster, adopt, or give birth—your legacy in Christ is secure when you walk in faith.Scripture:Isaiah 60:1–2 – “Arise, shine, for your light has come... darkness covers the earth... but the Lord rises upon you.”https://rocksolidfamilies.orgSupport the show#Rocksolidfamilies, #familytherapy, #marriagecounseling, #parenting, #faithbasedcounseling, #counseling, #Strongdads, #coaching, #lifecoach, #lifecoaching, #marriagecoaching, #marriageandfamily, #control, #security, #respect, #affection, #love, #purpose, #faith, #affairs, #infidelity

What's described in Isaiah 60 never happened in human history and never can happen in normal human history—and it has much to teach us about how we view our work. Isaiah 60 looks to the end of time when God makes everything right and paradise is restored. And in that restoration, something happens that we often overlook: all the nations of the world bring their work products—their gold, silver, flux, and grain—as offerings to God. Just as there was work in the original paradise, there'll be work in the future paradise. And so, what does that mean about our work?  This text points to three things about work: 1) the goodness and dignity of work, 2) what's wrong with work, and 3) how work can be healed.
