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. In one breath, it's easy to say that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus, but in the next be completely unmoved by why the events around His birth matter for us in everyday life.

Scripture: Genesis 41:1-36 Text: Genesis 41:1-36 Theme: Bring God's word to a lost world with humility and boldness.

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.

Scripture Reading: Genesis 40 Text: Genesis 40 Proclaim The Truth in Love Theme: Proclaim the truth in love, even when you are struggling.

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.

Noah – Lesson 1.Text: Genesis 6:1-8Introduction: The story of Noah begins with a description of the times. There was much disobedience, much sinfulness, much rebellion against God. Why is it important for us to understand these times? Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.We too are to be discerners of the times, for we too live in a wicked age, when abject ungodliness is the norm. It is in such times that the Son of Man will unexpectedly return. So what was it like in the days of Noah? And what is meant by, "My spirit shall not always strive with man?"Read the NOTES HERE:This address was given at Templepatrick Reformed Church, and is reproduced here with their kind permission.

Text: Genesis 25:28-34  A sermon in our series through Genesis 

Text:  Genesis 20:1-18   Abraham's Besetting Sin (Gen. 20:1-2) At the crossroads of faith and unbelief, Abram responds in unbelief, just as he did before in Genesis 12:10-20.   God's Sovereign Intervention (Gen. 20:3-7) Abraham's sin seemingly put God's covenant in jeopardy. God shows Himself to be sovereign over all things as He restrains Abimelech and protects Sarah.   Abimelech's Strong Confrontation (Gen. 20:8-13) Abimelech confronts Abraham's lying and deceptive behavior. Abraham is caught in his sin, proving that he had misjudged Abimelech and did not trust in the Lord.   God's Gracious Providence (Gen. 20:14-18) God displays His grace and providence by bringing healing to Abimelech and blessing to Abraham.

Text: Genesis 25:24-27  A sermon in our series through Genesis 

Text:  Genesis 19:1-38   Sodom's Violent Wickedness (Gen. 19:1-11) The angels come to Lot's home, and he treats them with hospitality. The angels are met with hostility from the men of Sodom.   God's Merciful Deliverance (Gen. 19:12-22) The angels reveal God's plan of judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah. The angels promise to deliver Lot and his family from the impending destruction. Lot and his family are mercifully removed of the city and told to escape without looking back.    God's Righteous Judgment (Gen. 19:23-29) God sends fiery judgment upon the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah for their wickedness. Lot's wife dies as she disobeys the Lord and looks back at the city. God is mindful of His covenant to Abraham and rescues Lot and his daughters from destruction.   Lot's Final Act and God's Rescuing Grace (Gen. 19:30-38; 2 Peter 2:6-9) Lot and his daughters are responsible for creating two of Israel's greatest enemies. In the end, God's grace is displayed through Lot's rescue and in calling him righteous (2 Peter 2:6-9).

Text: Genesis 25:23  A sermon in our series through Genesis 

Text: Genesis 18:16-33   God Reveals His Plan to Judge the Wicked (Gen. 18:16-21) God decided to reveal His plan to judge Sodom and Gomorrah to Abraham in light of their covenant relationship. God planned to judge Sodom and Gomorrah because of their grave wickedness and the cries of the oppressed (Ezekiel 16:49-50).   Abraham Intercedes in Prayer for the Wicked (Gen. 18:22-33) Abraham approached God in humble submission. Abraham appealed to God with persistent boldness. God responded to Abraham with benevolent mercy.

Text: Genesis 25:21-27  A sermon in our series through Genesis 

Text: Genesis 18:1-15   The Lord Provides His Presence (Gen. 18:1-8) The Lord personally comes to visit and eat with Abraham along with two other visitors (this is Christ in pre-incarnate form with His angels). Abraham bows in worship, places himself under their authority, and shows them hospitality.   The Lord Guarantees His Promise (Gen. 18:9-15) God personally ensures that His promise to Abraham will take place regardless of the circumstances. Sarah laughs in disbelief to herself in response God's promise. God deepens Sarah's faith in Him by assuring her of His matchless power.

Text: Genesis 16   The Faithless Acts of Abram and Sarai (Gen. 16:1-6) They questioned God's ability to fulfill His promises. They chose to circumvent God's plan by acting in unbelief. Their faithless acts led to family chaos and generational conflict.   The Faithful Presence of the God Who Sees (Gen. 16:7-16) The pre-incarnate Christ sees Hagar in her affliction. The pre-incarnate Christ brings comfort and blessing to Hagar. Christ sees us, knows our need, and can satisfy our hearts (John 4).

Text: Genesis 25:7-10  A sermon in our series through Genesis 

Text: Genesis 15   Abram Believes the Truth of God's Promise (Gen. 15:1-6) God comes to Abram through His revealed Word. God reveals Himself as both deliverer and provider to dispel Abram's doubts and fears. Abram believes in God's Word and is justified by faith, giving us the Gospel pattern for belief.   God Guarantees the Fulfillment of His Covenant (Gen. 15:7-21) God's covenant guarantees land and blessing for God's people by His eternal character. God's people will be afflicted sojourners, but He will remain faithful to them as their deliverer and provider. Abram's offspring extends to all who are in Christ (Galatians 3:27-29).

Pastor Andy Cass In this message, we explore what it means to truly "garden" the life God has entrusted to us, using the parable of the talents as a guide. Learn how Managing, Nurturing, Offering, and Protecting (MNOP) can transform your faith, relationships, and purpose into a flourishing harvest. TEXT: Genesis 2:15, Matthew 25:14-19, Proverbs 16:3, Deuteronomy 6:6-9, Leviticus 19:9-10, 2 Corinthians 9:6-7, John 10:10, Exodus 14:14, Nehemiah 4:14, Matthew 25:21 NOTES: Big Idea: “Just because you plant doesn't mean you'll produce a crop.” Reminder: You are made to garden — placed in a garden of growth, opportunity, and blessing. Root 01: The mindset of a gardener is humility. Root 02: The cadence of a gardener is infused with faithfulness and patience. Root 03: The actions of the gardener are Managing, Nurturing, Offering, and Protecting (MNOP). Living Between L & Q M – Management: Assessment: Know what you've been entrusted with. Plan: “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Schedule: 6 on, 1 off (Sabbath). N – Nurturing: God would rather see you fail trying than fail by not trying because of fear. O – Offering: “It's not just how you care, but how you share.” P – Protection: “A gardener doesn't just plant—they protect.”

Pastor Holly Wagner Life can feel overwhelming, but God has placed you in a garden—a place of growth, opportunity, and blessing. Learn how to handle pressure through prayer, alertness, and gratitude so you can thrive in every season. TEXT: Genesis 2:15, James 1:2-4, Colossians 4:2, James 5:13-16, Hebrews 4:16, Luke 12:54-56, 1 Peter 5:8, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Psalm 77:3, Philippians 4:11-13 NOTES: 1. Pray diligently 2.

With the powerful hold idols have over us, is there any hope that we might dethrone these counterfeit gods?  The answer is, “Yes!” …IF we take to heart this foundational truth.  Idols cannot simply be removed – they have to be replaced.How do we do that? If we hope to deal with our idols, what we need is not merely a vague belief in God but a profound encounter with God.Jacob had such an encounter, and it changed him forever. We met Jacob and his wives, Leah and Rachel, in a previous message. By the time we get to Genesis 31, Jacob has settled into married life and is prospering quite nicely. But Jacob's success became a threat to his father-in-law, Laban, and tension began to grow between them. So, Jacob decided it was time to part ways and return to his homeland. By now, his parents were gone, but his twin brother, Esau, the one Jacob had deceived, was still around. And the last time they had seen each other, Esau threatened to kill him. As Jacob and his huge entourage of family, servants, flocks, and herds drew near, he received the alarming news. Esau was heading his way, accompanied by a small army. Jacob was sure Esau was coming to make good on his threat. So, he springs into action. He sends out some servants with a huge gift of livestock for his brother. Then he divides his family into smaller groups and sends them across the river. Now night is falling, and Jacob is alone. All of his life, Jacob had been a “control freak.” He had sought to control people and circumstances to get what he wanted. He demonstrates the ultimate counterfeit god: SELF.The idol of self comes in many forms: self-sufficiency, self-determination, self-rule. Every one of us is challenged by the idol of self. Like Jacob, you've determined to be a survivor.  And like Jacob, you survived—but at a huge cost.Jacob's life had been one long wrestling match to get a blessing.  He wrestled with Esau to hear it from his father's lips.  He had wrestled with Laban to find it in Rachel's companionship.  But it hadn't worked.  He was still needy and empty on the inside. And now, he wrestles with God Himself. A mysterious figure comes to Jacob in the night, and they wrestle, struggling all night long, until at last, the Lord touches his hip and it is wrenched out of its socket. But rather than let go, Jacob clung all the harder. “I won't let go until you bless me!” He realized that nothing else matters. If he didn't have God's blessing, he didn't have anything.At long last, Jacob recognized the true God and surrendered to Him. God gave him a new name—Israel. And He left him with a reminder of who is really in control: Jacob would walk with a limp for the rest of his life.Jacob's transformation came after a profound encounter with God.  And, in the end, that is the only remedy against idolatry. When you know God as GOD, you don't need anything or anyone else. And when you give control to Him, you don't have to bow to the idol of self.  Text: Genesis 31-32Originally recorded on December 12, 2010, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

Pastor Andy Cass What if you realized you've been placed in a garden — not just physically, but spiritually? In this message, Pastor Andy unpacks two roots every follower of Jesus must grow deep: humility and faithfulness, because what you plant today will be what you live on tomorrow. TEXT: Genesis 2:15, Deuteronomy 6:10–12, James 4:10, 1 Corinthians 3:6–7, James 5:7–8 NOTES: Big Question: Are you growing where you've been planted? Are you rooted? Are you embracing your season? Are you open to shaping/pruning? Big Idea: “What you plant today will be what you live on tomorrow.” Root 01: The mindset of a gardener is Humility Root 02: The cadence of a gardener is infused with Faithfulness and Patience. My faith—seeds have been planted. I remain present in the garden, humbly serving. I stay near the Master Gardener.”
