The Beginning of Futility | Bob Wriedt | Genesis 3:16-24

Why does work sometimes feel so frustrating? From the beginning, work was part of God’s good design—Adam and Eve were given work to do even before sin entered the world.
This Sunday, we’re looking at Genesis 3:16-24 and how sin brought frustration and futility into our work, from labor in the fields to raising the next generation. But even in the struggle, this passage points us to Christ and the hope we have in Him.
Join us as we explore what this means for our work and our lives today.

Shame, Blame and Hope | Bob Wriedt | Genesis 3:7-15

What does God think of you when you fail? Shame, fear, and anger are natural responses to our own mistakes, just as they were for Adam and Eve in the garden.
This Sunday, we’re continuing in Genesis 3, looking at how Adam and Eve responded to their sin—and how God responded to them. His reaction to human failure is far more powerful and life-changing than we often expect.
Join us as we explore this foundational passage and what it means for us today.

The Beginning of Sin | Bob Wriedt | Genesis 3:1-7

What does the story of Adam and Eve tell us about temptation today? Genesis 3:1-7 is one of the most well-known passages in the Bible, yet its details—a talking snake, a forbidden tree, and sudden awareness of sin—can feel distant and strange.
Instead of just asking, 'How can this be true?', we should also ask, 'What does this reveal about the nature of temptation in our own lives?'
Join us this Sunday as we explore how temptation distorts God’s truth and how we can stand firmly against it.

The Beginning of Marriage | Bob Wriedt | Genesis 2:18-25

Why was it 'not good' for Adam to be alone? In a world that was still untouched by sin, Genesis 2:18 introduces something surprising—Adam’s aloneness needed a solution.
This Sunday, we’ll look at how God addressed this, first by showing Adam the limits of work, wealth, and creation, and ultimately by creating woman. While this passage beautifully points to marriage, it also reveals something even greater—the joy of our union with Christ.
Join us as we explore God's design for marriage as a reflection of His love and purpose.

Made for a Garden | Pastor Bob Wriedt | Genesis 2:4-17

What were you put on earth to do? It’s a question we all ask at some point, whether we’re choosing a career, building a life, or reflecting on the past.
This Sunday, we’re looking at Genesis 2:4-17, where Adam hears directly from God about his purpose. Through this passage, we’ll see what it reveals about our own calling and what we were made to do.
Join us as we explore this foundational question together.

The Rest of God | Pastor Jason Ricafranca | Genesis 2:1-3

What does it truly mean to rest in God? In Genesis 2, we see that after six days of creation, God rested—not because He was tired, but because His work was complete and good. His rest is a gift for us.
Just like a child enjoys vacation without worrying about the details, God invites us into His rest, trusting that He has already taken care of everything we need.
Join us this Sunday as we unpack Genesis 2:1-3 and explore what it means to truly rest in Him.

Made in the Image of God | Bob Wriedt | Genesis 1:24-31

What gives every person inherent worth? The Bible teaches that all people are made in the image of God, setting humanity apart from the rest of creation.
This Sunday, we’re looking at the final section of Genesis 1, where God creates humanity in His image. How does this truth shape the way we live and treat those around us?
Join us as we explore this foundational truth together.

A Good Day's Work | Bob Wriedt | Genesis 1:6-23

What does creation tell us about God? The beauty, complexity, and balance of the world point to an incredible Creator.
This Sunday, we’re continuing in Genesis 1, exploring the middle days of creation and why the Bible’s description is both good and true. How does this ancient account speak to our modern world?
Join us as we reflect on God’s handiwork together.

In The Beginning | Bob Wriedt | Genesis 1:1-5

"How did we get here? This Sunday, we’re starting a year-long journey through the book of Genesis, exploring the origins of the universe, humanity, and God’s relationship with His people.
We’ll begin with Genesis 1:1-5, reflecting on the creation of the universe and the greatness of God. May this passage inspire awe, worship, and wonder in your heart.
Join us as we go back to the beginning.
