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 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.

What does it mean to stay faithful when every right choice drags you deeper into hardship? In this episode, we dive into the story of Joseph—Genesis' final act (Genesis 37-50)—a rollercoaster of betrayal, integrity, and redemption that ties together the book's earliest threads. From a pit of jealousy to Egypt's throne, Joseph's life doesn't just echo the struggles of Cain, Noah, and Eden—it casts a shadow of the Savior to come. Join Russell Aspinwall as we unpack how this favored son, sold for silver and raised to save his betrayers, reveals God's promise in the mess of human failure. How do we hold fast when integrity feels like a burden?

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.

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.

Pastor Andy Cass Life is full of hurdles—tests, trials, and temptations—but God calls us to jump, not retreat. In this message, Pastor Andy Cass challenges us to embrace the obstacles ahead, train with endurance, and trust God's process of refinement. TEXT: Genesis 12:4, Genesis 22:1, Exodus 15:25, Exodus 16:4, Exodus 20:18-21, John 16:33, Hebrews 12:1-2 NOTES: Big Idea: Tests are not meant to ruin you; they are meant to prune you. Three Hurdles in Life: Tests (from God) – Strengthen and refine us. Trials (from life) – Unexpected challenges that require perseverance. Temptations (from the enemy) – Often heightened during tests and trials. Hurdle Mindset: Don't turn around—finish the race. Don't go under—shortcuts lead to failure. Don't go around—stay in your lane. Don't power through—jump with faith and obedience. Lift One Foot over the hurdle at a time Call to Action: Stretch, train, and be intentional. Find community (team) and hope. Position yourself as both a runner and a cheerleader. Final Thought: “Tests are not meant to break you; they are meant to shape you.” Jump—God is preparing you for the race ahead!

"Blessings or survival are never great long-term motivators." "Jesus invites us to more than survival: You're not just here to make it through; you're here to thrive." “I thrive when I strive, when I am pressing on toward something. And the minute I start arriving is the minute I start dying.” -AJ Swoboda Practical Application: 1. Prayer: "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." (Psalm 51:10) 2.
