Description: God placed Adam in a garden with all the benefits therein but commanded him not to eat from one particular tree. This was a covenant of works. Adam could continue in the paradise garden as long as he was obedient to God’s one command. Adam failed this test of obedience, and in Adam we all failed as well.
But God would send a Second Adam – a better Adam – Jesus Christ: One who would obey all the law perfectly, as well as pay the punishment for the sins of Adam’s fallen race, thereby purchasing salvation for His people.
Description: When you think of the word Sabbath, what comes to mind? For many of us the word sounds ominous and even burdensome. But if that’s the image that comes to our minds, we have missed the richness and wonder of this command. As we look at the opening verses of Genesis Chapter 2, we will see the beauty and understand more clearly what Jesus meant when He said that the Sabbath wasn’t made for man, but man for the Sabbath.
Description: What does it mean that man is made in the image of God? How is man special amidst all the other things that God created? What does God expect of man? All of these questions, and more, are answered in the few, short verses at the end of Genesis Chapter 1. These verses preeminently come against the moral revolution that is happening in the culture around us. Much of the moral debate comes down to a confusion and rebellion over what it means to be made in the Image of God.
Description: The doctrine of creation is not only under attack outside the church but from within as well. Christians have attempted to fit “millions of years” into the Genesis account by doing hermeneutical gymnastics to Genesis Chapter 1. The end result of these theories has been the undermining of not only the faith of countless Christians but the undermining of the Gospel itself!
Description: The doctrine of creation is under attack. This is a battle of worldviews whereby the entire foundation of Christianity is being eroded and that erosion has drastic effect on our understanding of the fall, sin, death, and the truth of the Gospel. If we can’t trust Genesis 1:1, where exactly do we start believing the Bible?

Description: The first four words of the Bible, “In the beginning God…” declare what follows to be antithetical to all worldly philosophies and worldviews. God’s existence is assumed instead of argued for as the Creator of the universe demands all His creatures to take heed in a history that begins when there were no other witnesses than Himself.
Description: Boaz and Ruth marry and God blesses them with a son whom they name Obed. The family of Elimelech is redeemed and in their redemption would come the Redeemer of the world, Jesus Christ.
Description: Boaz sits at the city gate and waits for the Kinsman Redeemer that is in line to redeem Ruth before him. He gathers a quorum of elders from the city to serve as witnesses to find out if this “closer relative” is willing to exercise his authority to redeem Ruth — because if he will not, Boaz will.
Description: Naomi has a plan to secure a future for her daughter-in-law, Ruth, through a marriage to Boaz. But Boaz hasn’t made a move for the last 6-8 weeks, and how does a woman propose to a man?? Naomi tells Ruth her plan, and Ruth agrees to carry it out.
Description: The Moabite woman, Ruth, gleans from the fields during barley harvest and is surprised by the kindness of a righteous man named Boaz. Boaz is a close relative of Naomi’s husband’s family and is one of the kinsman redeemers to Naomi, and by marriage to Ruth as well.
Description: The widow Naomi begins her journey home from the land of Moab to Bethlehem. Ruth her daughter-in-law refuses to leave her and binds herself to Naomi pledging her loyal love to go with her. Hope starts to enter Naomi’s life for the first time in a long time.
Description: Things go from bad to worse for a Hebrew woman named Naomi. Her family suffers from a famine and moves away from the Promised Land to live among the heathen Moabites. Her husband dies and then both her sons die – leaving her widowed and childless in a foreign country.
Description: Paul reveals to us the “Reason for the Season” in a simple statement that summarizes the Gospel in his letter to the young pastor Timothy.
Description: With only 600 men of Benjamin who survive the Battle at Gibeah, Israel is in danger of losing one of her tribes…permanently. Taking matters into their own hands, the Israelites travel down a dark road trying to fix a problem by human means and sin while claiming to be righteous.
Description: In the aftermath of the horrors of Judges 19, all Israel gathers together to wage war against the inhabitants of Gibeah and the rest of the tribe of Benjamin who decide to defend the evil men of Gibeah. God exercises justice on the Benjamites and only 600 survive this bloody civil war.
Description: Judges 19-21 covers the disturbing story of the complete canaanization of Israel. It’s a story that involves homosexuality, rape, murder, and dismemberment. It is perhaps the most disturbing story in all of Scripture.
Description: Judges 18 tells the story of how the Tribe of Dan became an epicenter for cultic worship. This is not an isolated story, but a snapshot in time illustrating the moral degeneration of Israel and the effects of sin.
Description: Judges 17 tells us of an Ephraimite named Micah whose way of life is indicative of the Israelites during this time in redemptive history. Micah steals from his own mother, fashions an idol and implements of worship, starts his own cult, hires his own priest, and somehow thinks that God will honor him and hear his prayers.
Description: The Lord has left Samson, and now Samson finds himself imprisoned, blinded, and in the most miserable state of his life. It is in these dark places where God can get our attention. We find out through Samson that a man can never be too far from the grace of God.
