Text:  Genesis 28:1-22   God's Covenant Blessing is Confirmed (Gen. 28:1-9) Isaac pronounces God's covenant blessing on Jacob, proving his trust in God's Word has been restored. Esau attempts to gain God's covenant blessing in the wrong way.   God's Gracious Presence is Revealed (Gen. 28:10-15) God reveals Himself to Jacob in a dream of a stairway to heaven, where He condescends in grace. God is laying the foundation for Jacob's faith in the future.   Jacob's Response to God is Expressed (Gen. 28:16-22) Jacob responds in fear and awe before God's presence. Jacob names the place Bethel, or "house of God." Jacob makes a conditional vow before God and asks Him to be faithful to him.

Text: Genesis 37-41 Supplemental Text: The Third Thousand Years chapters 5-6 BYU Lecture 13: Joseph spent his youth in Beersheba. He was a devoted son to Jacob and to God. When he witnessed evil doings by his brothers, Joseph faithfully reported it to his father. This created a trusted bond between father and son, but caused hatred between Joseph and his brothers. At the age of 17, Joseph receives revelations from the Lord through dreams, prophesying that Jacob and Joseph's brothers will bow down to Joseph. This angers his brothers and they plot to kill him. They throw Joseph into a dry well and he is inadvertently captured and sold into slavery for 20 pieces of silver and taken to Egypt. Jacob is told that Joseph is dead and he mourns terribly. Adding to the tragedy, Jacob's father Isaac dies. Joseph is sold to Potiphar, Egypt's chief executioner, but after 11 years in faithful servitude he is imprisoned after being falsely accused by Potiphar's wife. Joseph interprets the dreams of 2 fellow prisoners, a butcher and a baker. He later interprets the dream of Pharoah, who is so impressed with Joseph, he promotes him to be Prime Minister of all Egypt.

Scripture Reading: Genesis 50 Text: Genesis 50:15-26 The Mediator's service in life and in death Theme: See the Mediator who serves in love and dies with confidence in the promises of God.

Have you ever felt overlooked, used, forgotten, or invisible?In Genesis 16, we meet Hagar — a servant, a runaway, and the first person in Scripture to name God.She calls Him El Roi — The God Who Sees.This sermon explores:• What happens when people use and forget you• Why God moves toward the marginalized• How being seen by God changes everything• Why the Cross is the ultimate proof that heaven sees youYou may feel unseen by people…But you are fully seen by God — pursued, heard, and cared for.

This week, we have 2 lectures to keep pace for those following the Come Follow Me schedule. Text: Genesis 24-33 Supplemental Text: The Third Thousand Years chapters 1-5   BYU Lecture 11: One of the purposes of a college education is to learn how to think and not to be deceived; what is true and what is false, and what is good and what is evil. Who are God's chosen people? Just one word describes them – Obedience! God is no respecter of persons and chooses those who are obedient, and they become “the seed of Abraham” and recipients of the Abrahamic Covenant. If you are born in the covenant you have a tremendous responsibility to be a soldier of God. The characteristics of obedient children of God are reviewed. Abraham and Isaac are quickly reviewed, with the introduction of Esau and Jacob.   BYU Lecture 12: Rebekah leaves her family and home for Isaac, but is unable to bear him children. This becomes a great trial for her. She receives a priesthood blessing and a revelation. She then conceives and bares twins, Esau and Jacob. Abraham dies and is buried. Esau, the elder and farmer, marries a Canaanite against his father's desire. He is careless with his rights and sells his birthright to Jacob, the shepherd. Isaac gives Jacob the covenant blessing. A priesthood blessing cannot be given by deception, as Isaac confirms the blessing he gave to Jacob and commands him not to marry a Canaanite woman as Esau did. He instructs Jacob to travel to Haran, Rebekah's homeland, to find a Shemetic wife. On the way, Jacob has a visitation from the Lord who promises a continuation of the Abrahamic Covenant through Jacob's posterity. Jacob arrives in Haran and meets Rachel. He promises to work for her father Laban 7 years for her hand in marriage. By deception, Laban weds Jacob to his oldest daughter Leah instead of Rachel. After a week, Jacob then marries Rachel and works another 7 years for Laban. Children are born to Jacob through Leah, Bilhah (Rachel's handmaid), Zilpah (Leah's handmaid), and finally Rachel conceives and has a son named Joseph.

“Openness and Obedience when God Speaks”Text: Genesis 12:1-4How does Abram model obedience when he is called by God? Pastor Eric Larsen joins us again this week and suggests that obedience requires continual action – a willing participation in what He wants us to do, no matter the cost. Through Abram's obedience, his faith grew and…

Text:  Genesis 26:1-35   The Presence of God in Our Suffering (Gen. 26:1-5) A famine threatens Isaac and his family. God reaffirms His covenant to Isaac and promises His presence.   The Presence of God in Our Sin (Gen. 26:6-11) Isaac deceives Abimelech about his wife being his sister. Isaac is confronted in his sin, and God protects him.   The Presence of God in our Successes and Struggles (Gen. 26:12-35) God prospers Isaac in wealth and harvest in the land of the Philistines despite opposition from others. Isaac builds an altar of worship to God as God rehearses His promise to Isaac and reminds him of His presence. Abimelech recognizes that Isaac is blessed by God and establishes a treaty with him. Esau's life serves as a warning as he becomes a source of bitterness for his family.   Life Application We are not doomed to repeat our parent's sins. We will be tempted to repeat our parent's sins.  We must walk by faith in Christ, knowing that He will be with us.

Text: Genesis 18-23 Supplemental Text: The First 2,000 Years chapters 28-32 BYU Lecture 10: Amazingly, Noah witnessed 10 generation of his descendants before he died, Abraham being his 10th generation, at 2,000 BC. The life of Abraham is discussed, including his ordination of the priesthood in his youth by Melchizedek, who is also discussed. Abraham's father tries to kill Abraham through idol worship and sacrifice. He is saved by an angel. A terrible famine inflicts the land and Abraham leaves and travels to Egypt, teaching them mathmatics, astronomy and Christianity.  Abraham returns to the land Canaan and settles there. Circumcision is introduced, signifying baptism. Sodom and Gomorrah is destroyed. Sarah finally conceives and Isaac is born. Abraham's greatest test to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac.

Text: Genesis 12-17; Abraham 1-2 Supplemental Text: The First 2,000 Years chapters 23-27 BYU Lecture 9: The church will not save the Constitution – it will be saved by the Elders of Israel. Political education is crucial by the members of the church because the Church itself cannot get involved in the fight. Stay close to the prophet as the Lord is beginning to hasten His work. After Noah came to the new world, God reaffirmed His commandments. Note that murder is punishable by death. Nimrod abandoned the priesthood culture and formed his own community called Babel. He convinced his followers to begin idolatry, astrology and fertility worship. To defy God, or avoid the punishments of God, he commenced the building of the tower of Babel. After the confusion of tongues, the land divided and people began to spread across the world. The seed of Ham, or Hamites, settled in Egypt; the seed of Shem, or shemites, settled in the middle East and Mesopotamia with their capital in Salem (Jerusalem); the seed of Japeth settled north and east of the Mediterranean Sea clear to the areas of India and China. Brother Skousen promises to get caught up to Abraham and Isaac in the next lecture.

Scripture Reading: Genesis 49 Text: Genesis 49: 1-28 A Rogue's Gallery of Grace Theme: God's grace and mercy extended to the good, the bad, and the blessed.

Text:  Genesis 25:1-18   God Ordains Our Habitations (Gen. 25:1-11) God's providence extends over all peoples and all locations. God sovereignly places us in history and in our surroundings for His purposes (Acts 17:24-28).   God Ordains Our Generations (Gen. 25:12-18) God ordains the generations of all peoples, and His providence extends to the hardships we endure. The generations in Genesis all point to Christ, the final fulfillment and Abraham's promised seed who would bring salvation.

This week, we have 2 lectures to keep pace for those following the Come Follow Me program. Text: Genesis 6-11; Moses 8 Supplemental Text: The First 2,000 Years chapters 20-22 BYU Lecture 7: The Great Universal Flood Due to the wickedness of the people, similar to the wickedness of today, God cleanses the Human race by using a universal Flood. Noah obeys the Lord and builds an enormous ark, but only he, his wife, and 3 of his sons along with their wives survive. Has the ark been discovered on Mt. Ararat? Discussion of the need for a righteous government to govern a righteous people. There is a great need to conserve the Constitution. A good student will solve problems by using Constitutional principles. He must study in fairness all sides of important issues and make intelligent decisions that build a righteous people.   The Law of Consecration must be restored among a righteous people but only under the direction of the priesthood. God's work will prevail. BYU Lecture 8: Mankind Expands Across the Land After the Flood. After the flood and the ark settles, the family of Noah enters the new world. As they descend from the mount, the families of Japheth, Shem and Ham go their separate ways and begin again to populate the earth. Different races across the world can be traced to the three sons of Noah; Slavic and Orientals traced to Japheth, Arabic, Jewish and Caucasian traced to Shem, and Blacks traced to Ham. Egypt means “black” and it's evident from the mummy discoveries that Egypt had many different dynasties from both Ham and Shem. This concludes the First 2,000 Years and the supplemental text now begins in The Third Thousand Years.

Text:  Genesis 24:1-67   Faith in God's Promise Renewed (Gen. 24:1-9) Abraham rehearses God's promise and blessing to his family. Abraham sends his trusted servant on a mission to find a wife for his son Isaac so that his family will multiply.   Faith in God's Promise Represented (Gen. 24:10-27) Abraham's servant displays great faith in the providence of God to enable him to find a wife for Isaac. God displays His steadfast love and faithfulness by answering the servant's prayer of faith.   Faithfulness of God's Promise Revealed (Gen. 24:28-60) God proves faithful to His promise to provide a wife for Isaac.

BYU Lecture #4 - Why was the Atonement necessary? Text: Genesis 5; Moses 6 Supplemental Text: The First 2,000 Years chapters 10-16 and Appendix: Atonement Probably no subject in scripture has aroused more questions or provoked more wonderment than the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Join W.

Learn how mercy is the key to overcome damning justice of the law. Skousen weaves personal experiences, scriptural insight, and theological discovery to reveal this beautiful, yet ‘lost doctrine' of the church. 

Sometimes we can get so focused on our world, our family, our life that we forget that there is so much more to this planet.  The mission of God is a mission that can simultaneously be micro focused on you, while working for the blessing and good of the world.Text: Genesis 12:1-3Big Idea: God promises to bless the nations.Key Question: What does God do to bless the nations?1. God forms a people for his purpose. (vs. 1-2a)2. God blesses his people. (vs. 2a, 3a)3. God blesses the nations through his people. (vs. 2b, 3b)

New years often bring new plans for your life.  We sit and draft grand dreams of the impact our lives will have on the world only to have abandoned many of them a few weeks later.  Humanity was created and designed with a particular mission in mind, and very soon after we traded in God's grand designs for the plans of our own.  In the message Pastor FIkre Prince shares that God has a way of bringing us back from mission drift and helping us to fulfill our role in the earth.Text: Genesis 11:1-9 Sermon Summary:Big Idea: God disrupts human pride to advance his mission.Key Question: How does God disrupt our pride to advance his mission?1.     God exposes our false self-sufficiency. (vv. 1-5)2.     God hinders our collective power. (vv. 6-7)3.     God overcomes our prideful resistance. (vv. 8-9)

Text: Genesis 26:17-22  A sermon in our series through Genesis 

The bigining of each year generally has people questioning or planning what they desire the year to look like.  Many of us consider where we have been and the challeneges we've faced to try to find the path forward to where we want to go.  We chart our own course, and pursue our own mission.  What if there was more to the story than what we desire and what we feel?  In this message Pastor Fikre Prince shares that all of humanity was created with a particular mission and purpose, and starting at that point is the best way to find joy, and have peace for the journey.Text: Genesis 1:26-30Sermon Summary:Big Idea: God created humanity to fill the earth with his glory.Key Question: How was humanity to fill the earth with God's glory?1.     Humanity was given God's image. (vv. 26a, 27)2.     Humanity was given God's mission. (vv. 26b, 28b)3.     Humanity was given God's blessing. (vv. 28a, 29-30)

Pastor Andy Cass A puzzle that's 99.9% finished is still 100% frustrating — because every piece matters. In this message, Legacy, Pastor Andy reminds us that God has called each of us to start, continue, and complete projects that will last beyond our lifetime. Through the stories of Abraham and Saul, we see two men, two trees, and two very different postures. Abraham planted a tamarisk tree — a symbol of faith, covenant, and legacy that would outlive him. Saul sat under a tamarisk tree — consumed by insecurity, fear, and self-preservation. One built a future; the other destroyed what was entrusted to him. TEXT: Genesis 21:33–34, 1 Samuel 22:6, Ephesians 2:10, Matthew 23:11–12, Colossians 3:23–24, Philippians 2:14–15 Big Questions: What project does God have for me to start? What project can I continue? What project does God have for me to complete? Abraham and Saul: Two Legacies, Two Trees Abraham planted a tamarisk tree — a symbol of faith, covenant, and hospitality. He looked forward, trusted God, and built something that would last. Saul sat under a tamarisk tree — a symbol of entitlement, fear, and isolation. He chose control over surrender, comfort over calling. The Contrast: Abraham's heart: humble, faithful, centered on God's promises. Saul's heart: insecure, prideful, disconnected from God's presence. Abraham planted; Saul uprooted. Posture & Attitude: Thanksgiving Gratitude Commitment Peace Reliance on the Holy Spirit and wise community Call to Action: Plant something that will outlast you — a faith, a family, a ministry, a legacy.

Text: Genesis 3:1-7, Luke 2:1-7 Christmas is easily the most popular yet underestimated holiday in the Christian calendar.

This week Pastor Pace continues this important lesson by teaching how to tell if you're just blessed or a partaker of the inheritance of God's children. Text: Genesis 25:5-6  "5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. 6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country."Please hit follow and don't forget to give us a 5-star rating and leave a review.

Text:  Genesis 22:1-24   An Ultimate Test of Faith (Gen. 22:1-2) God tested Abraham's faith by commanding him to offer up his son Isaac as a sacrifice. God tests us to prove the genuineness of our faith and produce steadfastness (James 1:2-4).   An Undaunted Act of Obedience (Gen. 22:3-10) Abraham responds to God in faith, acting in obedience to God's command. Abraham believed that God would provide a lamb for the sacrifice and take care of his son. (Heb. 11:17-19)   An Unfailing Provision of Grace (Gen. 22:11-14) Abraham proved that his faith in God was genuine. God stays Abraham's hand and provides the sacrifice that was required. Jesus, the true and better Isaac, is the sacrificial lamb of God who would be slain for our redemption.   An Unwavering Promise of Blessing (Gen. 22:15-24)  God rewards Abraham for his obedience and reassures Abraham of His promise to bless him and his offspring.

This week Pastor Pace begins teaching a new lesson on who receives the blessings and who receives the inheritance. Text: Genesis 25:5-6 "5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. 6 But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.Please hit follow and don't forget to give us a 5-star rating and leave a review.

Text: Genesis 21:1-34   God's Promise is Fulfilled (Gen. 21:1-7) God proves to be true to His Word as Isaac is born to Abraham and Sarah. Isaac's name (laughter) is proof of God's grace to Abraham and Sarah.   God's Promise is Preserved (Gen. 21:8-21) God sets apart Isaac as the one in whom the promise would be fulfilled. God's electing grace and common grace are on display with Isaac and Ishmael. Galatians 4:21-31 portrays this event as an allegory and how it applies to the Gospel and our identity in Christ.   God's Promise is Progressing (Gen. 21:22-34) Abimelech's treaty with Abraham proves that God's promise of land to Abraham's offspring continues to advance. As Abraham plants a tree in Beersheba, he is planting his faith in an everlasting God who keeps His promises.
