Podcasts about using genesis

Using Genesis 1 and the Exodus story, as well as a heavy dose of inspiration from the Neo-Futurists and Rev Will Bouvel, Pastor Rebecca preaches our first free-for-all sermon — which really lived up to its name.

Pastor Dave Bondeson continues the "Known and Unashamed" series, diving into the impact of sin on our relationships and the promise of restoration through Christ. Using Genesis 2:25, 4:1-16, and Judges 6:25-27, he explores how sin leads to brokenness, deflection of responsibility, and the perpetuation of harmful cycles across generations. The sermon challenges listeners to identify unhealthy patterns learned from their families, tear down those "altars," and seek support in community.

Theme: From Defeat to Victory — Obedience, Judgment, and God's Longsuffering Pastor Matthew continued his series on the book of Joshua, focusing on chapter 8, where Israel returned to face Ai—the place of their previous defeat. The sermon unfolded three key themes: restoration through obedience, understanding God's justice, and the call to overcome through repentance and faithfulness. Returning to the Place of Defeat After Israel's failure at Ai (caused by Achan's sin), God instructed Joshua to go back: “Do not be afraid nor dismayed. Take all the people of war with you… I have given into your hand the king of Ai.” (Joshua 8:1) Pastor explained that God often sends us back to the place of defeat — not to relive shame, but to redeem it through obedience. “When you go back in the power of Christ and the Word of the Lord, you can't lose.” God gave new instructions: this time, the spoils of Ai would belong to Israel. The principle: “The first fruits belong to God; the rest He blesses for you.” Lesson: God is fair and faithful — He doesn't take to deprive but to teach trust and honor. The Strategy of Obedience Joshua followed God's detailed battle plan: Set an ambush behind Ai while Joshua and the main army pretended to retreat. Once the enemy was drawn out, the ambush rose, took the city, and set it on fire. When the enemy looked back and saw the smoke, Israel turned and struck them down (v. 19–22). Pastor emphasized how God is a God of detail: “If we would listen long enough, God would tell us exactly what to do. But we've become a drive-thru culture—no patience, no waiting.” Application: Faith follows God's word precisely. Victory is not random — it comes through listening, waiting, and acting on divine instruction. Renewal of Covenant After Ai was destroyed, Joshua built an altar at Mount Ebal, offered burnt and peace offerings, and read all the words of the Law before the people (Joshua 8:30–35). This marked a spiritual renewal — a recommitment after failure. Pastor's takeaway: “They renewed their covenant because someone thought it was okay to steal from God. Never steal from God — He owns everything.” He reminded that God's ownership and our stewardship are central to understanding His commands. God's Justice and Longsuffering The message turned theological as Pastor explored why God ordered the destruction of Ai: God owns everything and has all knowledge. When judgment comes, it's because a people or person has exhausted God's grace. Using Genesis 15:16, he explained that the Amorites' “iniquity was not yet full” — God's patience always precedes judgment. He compared this to modern examples: “God knew when Saddam Hussein's time was up. When a man's cruelty or sin reaches its limit, God says, ‘That's enough.'” Scriptural anchors: 2 Peter 3:9 – “The Lord is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.” Romans 1 – How rejecting truth and embracing sin leads to delusion and depravity. Revelation 2:18–29 – The church of Thyatira and “Jezebel,” who was given time to repent of immorality. Core Message: “When judgment comes, it's never sudden — it's the result of mercy refused.” Sexual Immorality and Idolatry — The Downfall of Nations Pastor linked Israel's ancient idolatry to modern culture: Sexual immorality causes more destruction than drugs and alcohol combined. Every society that normalizes it must invent idols to justify sin. The last straw before national judgment is not immorality itself but idolatry — worshiping false gods that excuse disobedience. “If I'm going to live against God's Word and refuse to repent, I'll find a god that makes me feel okay about it.” He warned that America faces similar danger: “The nations that forget God will be turned into hell.” Mercy, Repentance, and Overcoming Despite these warnings, Pastor underscored that God still offers mercy: Even Jezebel was given time to repent — showing the depth of God's compassion. “No one is as long-suffering as God. When judgment finally comes, it's because He's exhausted Himself trying to reach us.” Quoting 1 John 1:9, he assured: “If you confess your sins, He is faithful and just to forgive you.” He then linked this to Jesus' message to the seven churches in Revelation: “To him who overcomes…” (Greek: nikao / neo — to gain victory). The word is the root of “Nike,” meaning to prevail — symbolizing the believer's call to overcome through repentance and obedience. Application: Set yourself up to succeed spiritually — not to fail. “The strongest Christians aren't the ones who can endure anything; they're the ones who know their weaknesses and guard against them.” He gave practical examples: The man freed from alcoholism who changed his route to avoid temptation. The believer who moved his computer into the living room to avoid secret sin. “Don't set yourself up to fail — paristano means to ‘position yourself to succeed.'” Closing Prayer and Reflection Pastor closed by reminding: God's mercy is real, but so is judgment. We must renew covenant, walk in holiness, and guard our hearts. “Be kind to yourself, be honest before God, and stay the course.” He led the congregation in the Lord's Prayer, ending with worship and thanksgiving for God's mercy and truth. Core Message God is long-suffering but just. He gives space to repent, but not forever. Victory follows obedience, repentance, and humility. Set yourself up to succeed — abide in His Word and overcome.

Pastor Dave Bondeson unpacks Genesis 3 in this message, "Known and Unashamed," revealing the forces that damage our relationships. He identifies two key enemies: our internal sin nature and the external influence of Satan. Using Genesis 3:1-13, Pastor Dave examines how Satan undermines our trust in God's goodness by twisting God's word and inflaming our desires, causing us to prioritize our wants over our relationships. He cautions against detachment and blame-shifting, urging listeners to draw a circle around themselves and work on what's within their control. Discover how surrendering to Jesus Christ is the only path to true restoration and authentic connection, empowering us to overcome sin and move towards others in love.

Pastor Dave kicks off the "Known and Unashamed" series by examining the core purpose of relationships. Using Genesis 2:18-25 as a foundation, he explains that our need for connection isn't just about avoiding loneliness, but about reflecting God's image to others. The sermon unpacks how God saw that "it was not good that the man should be alone," not because Adam needed to receive love, but because he needed someone to love. Pastor Dave challenges us to view relationships as a "stage" where we live out God's character, showing love, faithfulness, and grace. The message offers practical encouragement to rightly understand and value relationships, and to pray for God to soften walls and cultivate hope for deeper, more meaningful connections.

In this episode of Triggered and True, Laura Duncan and Brian Freise explore shame, a universal barrier to emotional and spiritual health. Using Genesis 3, they trace shame's origins to Adam and Eve's knowledge of good and evil, which led to hiding from God and self. Shame, a "virus" in our operating system, fuels anxiety, depression, and identity confusion by tying what we do to who we are. Laura explains why "doing better" feeds shame and offers compassion as the antidote. Learn to identify shame through triggers like "I should," blame, or feeling inadequate. Reflect on your own triggers as we prepare for part two, where Brian shares his journey healing shame with the Compassion Method.

This episode explores how the church can model the Father's heart by prioritizing connection, compassion, and restoration instead of fear, shame, and punishment. Using Genesis, Jesus' interactions, and the parable of the prodigal son, the Pastor Matt challenges listeners to embrace vulnerability and pursue healing in community. Practical examples and stories lead to an invitation to baptism — to be made new and leave past shame behind in the water — and a call for the church to live as a family marked by love.

In our final Revival experience, Dr. Manny Arango's sermon centered on the theme that God brings order out of chaos. Using Genesis 1 and the story of Noah, he illustrates how God doesn't rest in disorder—He hovers over it, speaks order into it, and dwells only where there is structure. He reframed Noah's ark not just as a boat, but as a temple—a sacred space with one door, symbolizing Christ, where God's presence could dwell. His message calls us to stop building "boats" for survival and start building "temples" for God's glory, because only in a temple does God rest and remain.Support the show

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Eric Thomas exposes the hidden reason many believers stay stuck—it's not a lack of faith or effort, it's being out of order. Using Genesis 1 as the foundation, Eric reveals how God's blessings flow through divine order and why living outside of His structure leads to frustration, chaos, and missed opportunities.

This episode explores the powerful question: Do you want you? Too often, we seek validation from others, but true worth comes from God.Using Genesis 29-30, we reflect on Leah's journey—unloved by Jacob but chosen by God. When she stopped seeking approval and embraced God's love, everything changed.Until you truly want yourself, love yourself, and see your worth in God, life will feel like a constant struggle for validation. Today, choose to see yourself as God does—fearfully, wonderfully made, and already enough.

Pastor Tony's message yesterday focused on the life of Joseph, illustrating how God's purpose unfolds through trials and triumphs. Using Genesis 37, he highlighted Joseph's dreams and the jealousy they sparked in his brothers, leading to betrayal and hardship. The six stages of a dream—I thought it, I caught it, I bought it, I sought it, I got it, I taught it—mapped Joseph's journey from the pit to the palace, emphasizing perseverance and faith. Despite being sold into slavery, wrongfully imprisoned, and forgotten, Joseph remained steadfast, trusting God's plan. In Genesis 41, we see God's favor elevate Joseph to a position of power, fulfilling the very dreams that once brought him trouble. Pastor Tony reminded us that, like Joseph, we may face pits and prisons in life, but God is always working behind the scenes, turning what was meant for evil into good, as seen in Genesis 50:20.

Led by Apostle Sydney Quaye, Global Lead Pastor of Shekinah Avenue Church Apostle Sydney Quaye delivers a message emphasizing the power of the anointing to fulfill dreams. Quoting Dr. Myles Monroe, he highlights that the poorest person is one without a dream and the most frustrated is one with unfulfilled dreams, underscoring that dreams bring fulfillment and joy, aligning with God's larger plans for individuals. Apostle Quaye stresses that God's dreams for people are greater than their own, involving abundant blessings like building houses, living in an Eden-like state, and experiencing divine provision and health. The service focuses on prayers and seeking God's help in realizing these dreams. Using Genesis 37:6-8, Apostle Quaye illustrates the importance of dreams through Joseph's story, encouraging the congregation to dream big and declare their dreams openly, even if it incites envy or hatred. He frequently references Ephesians 3:20 to reinforce that God's power within us can achieve more than we can imagine or ask for. The congregation is urged to evaluate their lives, pray fervently, and believe in God's power to exceed their dreams. They are encouraged to declare their dreams and trust in God's ability to fulfill them beyond their wildest expectations. Quaye concludes with a call to see dreams manifest, invoking divine assistance and blessings in all areas of life.

* This originally aired as a video episode on YouTube HERE. Using Genesis chapter 4 as a launching pad, we'll pose the title's question. In ancient, biblical times, names had great meaning and purpose. This is simply not the case today as generic terms such as "God" suffice. Scripturally, calling upon the specific Name of "Yahweh" held great esteem, honor and holiness. But what about us today? Does this matter anymore, thousands of years removed? Let's find out!
