Text: Genesis 10 Introduction: The Table of Nations It is a testament to the accuracy of the Bible as true revelation from God. It connects us to the story of redemption. It underscores the sovereignty of God over all nations. It sets the stage for the holy war between the seed of the serpent vs. the seed of the woman. God is Sovereign Over the Gentile Nations (Gen. 10:1-5) God established the line of Japheth, which included the Gentile Indo-European nations who settled in Europe, Asia, and North and South America. The Gentiles would be scattered throughout the earth, but God ensured that the Gospel would spread to the ends of the earth. God is Sovereign Over the Warrior Nations (Gen. 10:6-20) The line of Ham reveals all of Israel's enemies who would seek to revolt against God and destroy His people. Despite the challenges to His sovereignty and His people, God remains undaunted in fulfilling His plan. God is Sovereign Over the Hebrew Nation (Gen. 10:21-31) The line of Shem includes several people groups, but specifically the nation of Israel – God's chosen people. In Genesis 12, God makes a covenant with Abraham, which declares that through him all the nations of the earth will be blessed. God's Sovereign Plan For All Nations (Gen. 10:32; Rev. 7:9-12) From the Table of Nations, we see the oneness of the human race; we are all descendants from Adam and Noah. From the Table of Nations, the stage is set for God redeem sinners from every nation for His glory.
Worship is basic to everything else in the walk of faith. Seeing God for who He really is and responding to Him as he truly deserves is at the center of everything the church believes, practices, and seeks to accomplish. It is so important, that if it gets off track, it is disastrous for the people of God.When the people lost their awe of God and let their worship deteriorate, everything else fell apart. They began to compromise and fall into sin. They lost their passion for the lost around them. They stopped giving sacrificially and dissension arose within their ranks. When worship got fuzzy it led to cold hearts, hard spirits, and the death of love.The Bible gives us three reasons why worship matters both personally and corporately. 1. Worship is the dividing line of all humanity. Essentially, all human beings can be divided into two groups: those who willingly bow their knee to the true and Living God, and those who do not…and will not. This line was first seen back in the book of Genesis with the first two people ever born—Cain and Abel. Abel gave God his first and his best, and God was pleased. But Cain only gave “some” of his crops. His worship was careless and mindless, and God was displeased. In the end, Cain's hardened heart led him to murder his brother. (Gen. 4:1-12) A failure to worship wholeheartedly not only dishonors God, it removes you from God's blessing, and is the first step toward sin gaining a foothold in your life. 2. Worship is the destiny of the redeemed.We were made to worship. We were saved so that we might “declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.” (1 Pet. 2:9) And one day, when we see Him face to face, we will worship Him fully, an eternal celebration of the wonders and glories of God.But we don't have to wait until then to experience His presence. You can know the firstfruits of that here and now as you provide Him a throne in your worship. 3. Worship is the one disctinctive that God cannot give Himself. God is completely self-existent. He depends no one and no thing for anything. And yet, there is one thing He cannot give Himself: people who will worship Him. Indeed, He longs for this. In John 4:23, Jesus said that the Father is seeking those who will worship Him in Spirit and in truth.Will you be one who says, “I will be that kind of worshipper. I will respond to all that You are with all that I have.” Text: Genesis 4:1-12; 1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 19:5-10; John 4:23 Originally recorded on January 3, 1999, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

Text: Genesis 9 God's Commission Declared (Gen. 9:1-7) God commands Noah be fruitful and multiply His image on the earth. God grants permission to eat meat, but not the blood. God declares that life must be protected and preserved. God's Covenant of Grace Displayed (Gen. 9:8-17) God's covenant explained in terms of His unconditional commitment to His creation. God's covenant portrayed in the sky as His unconditional sign of grace. Man's Sinfulness Demonstrated (Gen. 9:18-25) Noah's sin of drunkenness serves as a warning. Ham's sin of mockery and scorn led to a far-reaching curse upon his family. God's Blessing Determined (Gen. 9:26-29) God's blessing rests on the line of Shem, from whom would come Christ, the Messiah who would redeem us from our sin.

Rev. John Bothof - Scripture: Genesis 39 Text: Genesis 39
Text: Genesis 4:1-26 The Righteous Attitude of Worshipping God (Genesis 4:1-4) God graciously provides Adam and Eve with two sons: Cain and Abel. Abel is portrayed as the one who brought an acceptable offering to the Lord with the right heart attitude. In the New Testament, Abel's offering and his actions toward God are declared as righteous (Hebrews 11:4; 1 John 3:12b). The Ruinous Outcome of Worshipping Self (Genesis 4:3, 5-24) Cain worshipped God on his terms with a selfish attitude of pride. Cain's angry response to God's correction and murder revealed his worship of self. God's warning and condemnation was also mingled with grace. In the New Testament, “the way of Cain” is portrayed as a pursuit of personal gain marked by evil (Jude 11; 1 John 3:12a). The Redemptive Plan of Our Sovereign God (Genesis 4:25-26) Even in the midst of murder and revenge, God's plan to save His people cannot be thwarted. God appoints the line of Seth for the Messiah to come and call true worshippers to Himself. Consider Christ, “the mediator of the new covenant,” who atoned for our sin with His own blood (Hebrews 12:24).

Text: Genesis 35; VariousTheme: Broken relationships when healed and mended are a powerful display of what God's grace can do in and through us. This week Jacob returns to his brother and all the while, God is with him.Key Verses: Genesis 35:2-3 (NLT) So Jacob told everyone in his household, “Get rid of all your pagan idols, purify yourselves, and put on clean clothing. 3We are now going to Bethel, where I will build an altar to the God who answered my prayers when I was in distress. He has been with me wherever I have gone.”Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49406952

Text: Genesis 3:7-24 The Destructive Outcome of Sin (Gen. 3:7-13) When we choose to sin, we experience guilt and shame. When we choose to sin, we hide from the consequences. When we choose to sin, we blame others. Gospel implication: Christ died in our place and took our punishment. The Devastating Curse of Sin (Gen. 3:14-19) God pronounces a curse on the snake and the ground because of sin. God pronounces ongoing consequences of sin in child-bearing, relationships, and work. Gospel Implication: God promised that a Redeemer would come to crush our enemy and conquer sin. The Divine Judgment For Sin (Gen. 3:20-24) Clinging to the hope of God's promise, Adam gives his wife the name Eve (“life-giver”). God clothed Adam and Eve in garments of skin to cover their nakedness. God drove out Adam and Eve from the Garden, signifying the breach of fellowship that had taken place. Gospel Implication: In Christ we are given new life, eternally forgiven, clothed in His righteousness, and welcomed into His kingdom.
Text: Genesis 34; VariousTheme: While we can't imagine the pain in Jacob's story, we learn some crucial lessons in a very disturbing and difficult period of his life. Fortunately, God is there with us, even when the unimaginable happens.Key Verses: Genesis 34:7 (NLT) Meanwhile, Jacob's sons had come in from the field as soon as they heard what had happened. They were shocked and furious that their sister had been raped. Shechem had done a disgraceful thing against Jacob's family, something that should never be done.Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49404118

One day I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I have promised you.”Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49400036

Text: Genesis 3:1-24, John 3:14-18, Numbers 21:4-9Lead: Why is our world so broken? Why do we struggle with sin, suffering, and separation from God? The answer lies in the very beginning—in the Garden of Eden. This week, we dive into Genesis 3 and uncover the tragic moment when humanity fell into sin. But even in the midst of judgment, God's grace shines through. From before the very first sin, He had a plan—a promise of redemption through Jesus Christ.
Text: Genesis 32:1-32; VariousTheme: What does it mean to wrestle with God? Jacob did it. This week we'll find out what we can do when life hurts and we don't see the light at the end of the tunnel.Key Verses: Genesis 32:10 (NLT) “I am not worthy of all the unfailing love and faithfulness you have shown to me, your servant. When I left home and crossed the Jordan River, I owned nothing except a walking stick. Now my household fills two large camps!”Message Notes: https://www.bible.com/events/49396478
Text: Genesis 3:1-7 Satan's Deceitful Devices (Genesis 3:1-5) Satan is the crafty serpent in the Garden of Eden (Revelation 12:9). Satan strategy involves attacking and distorting God's Word. Satan's goal is for us to doubt and disobey God's Word Man's Defiant Disobedience (Genesis 3:6-7) Adam and Eve disobeyed God's Word in unbelief, seeking their own moral autonomy. Adam and Eve's sinful pattern in Genesis 3 is paralleled for us in James 1:13-16 and 1 John 2:15-17. God's Promised Savior (Romans 5:12-17) Through one man's (Adam) sin, death has passed to all of us and reigns over us. Through the Gospel of Christ, we can be justified by grace and live eternally with Him.
