Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Genesis
Key Text: Genesis 5
Description: A long list of dead men who lived long ago…what’s the point???
Chapter 5 is one of those chapters we usually skip, after all, just about the whole thing is a genealogy. The Apostle Paul tells us though that:
“All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.”
…And that means that even Genesis 5 is given by God for our benefit. For those who doubt, all we can say is “Come and see.”

Series: Genesis
Key Text: Genesis 4:17-26
Description: Chapters 4-6 of Genesis show us the fullness of sin as it takes dominion in the hearts of men. In the opening verses of Chapter 4, that we covered last week, we saw the complete spectrum of human experience from righteous worship to heinous murder. This week, as we study the second half of Genesis 4, we see the formation of culture and the sinfulness that permeates throughout.

Key Text: Genesis 3:20-24
Description: The last five verses of Genesis Chapter 3 give us a glimpse into the work that Christ would accomplish and a picture of substitutionary atonement. We are left with a picture of a God who is a Savior and who will bring about good in the midst of man’s sin and rescue Adam’s fallen race from their sin and misery.

Key Text: Genesis 3:1-21
Description: God placed Adam and Eve in a holy temple we call the Garden of Eden. There they would enjoy unrestricted access and fellowship with God as God covenanted with them and gave them the world. And in all of God’s creation, there was only one thing He forbid and that was the eating of a single fruit. How could Adam and Eve throw it all away? How angry God must have been by there disobedience, and yet even as God pronounced a curse upon the wayward couple, He announced His plan to rescue them.

Description: Genesis Chapter 3 is one of the most pivotal and important chapters in all of scripture. It records man’s darkest hour as Adam and Eve commit the first sin against God and plunge the entire human race into sin and rebellion against the Creator God who created the world that He once could pronounce as “very good”, but now no longer.

Description: The duties that a husband has toward his wife is not only a picture of atonement as Paul instructs husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her…but also a picture of sanctification as Paul provides the goal of the husband’s sacrifice and that is to sanctify his wife that he might present her to the Lord.

Key Text: Genesis 2:18-25 / Ephesians 5:25
Description: Marriage is defined by God as God is its author. God has given husbands and wives different but complementary roles and responsibilities in marriage. Today we live in a culture that not only has usurped God’s authority in redefining marriage, but has also pushed for role androgyny in every area of life. Now, more than ever, the clarity of Scripture is needed to bring the light of truth to these areas.

Key Text: Genesis 2:4-17
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.

Key Text: Genesis 2:1-3
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.

Series: Genesis
Key Text: Genesis 1:26-31
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.

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Genesis
Key Text: Genesis 1
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!

Key Text: Genesis 1:1
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.
