Four General Interpretive Approaches to Genesis 1-3 (We Hold to the Literal Historical View - Six-Day Creation) | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | March 12, 2023

We have faith that God who exists in eternity created everything, but it’s not blind faith like those who reject God. Our faith makes sense of what we observe, and science confirms it in many ways.

Passages Discussed: Genesis 1:1; Romans 1:20; Colossians 1:16; Colossians 2:3; Colossians 2:9; 2 Corinthians 13:14

Genesis: Can God Really Have No Beginning? | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | February 26, 2023

God declares His power to us when He reveals Himself to us in our need. We have the power within us to kill sin, because it was given us by the Father when we were regenerated. Such strength in power comes is the possession of Christ!

Passages Discussed: Colossians 1:11-12; Eph 3:14-21; Eph 1:17-21

According to His Glorious Might | Colossians 1:11-12 | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | May 1, 2022

Paul's intent here is that the Colossians would be filled with a deep, full, rich understanding of the grace of God that is theirs in Christ, a grace that stretches from eternity past when God set His will and predestined them to adoption as sons all the way through the present and into the future where they will spend eternity discovering the wonders of their inheritance in Christ as sons of God.

Filled With the Knowledge of His Will | Colossians 1:9-12 | Bro. Jeremy Moore | Pathfinder Fellowship Group | April 17, 2022

What does the resurrection of Jesus Christ prove? This life will end and there is something out there, something beyond the grave. In Romans 1:19-20, God tells us He made Himself known, evident – His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen and understood through creation. There is a God-consciousness in every person. The Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) is that Christ died for our sins; He was buried and was raised the third day, according to the Scriptures. He appeared -- He’s alive and will come again. The resurrection of Jesus Christ proves that His sacrifice was acceptable by God (Colossians 2:14), sin was nailed to the cross. The resurrection of Jesus Christ proves that life after death is true -- there is life beyond the grave. Jesus said He is the resurrection and the life; if you believe in Jesus, you will live even if you die (John 11:25). We will die, then what? The resurrection of Jesus Christ proves that there is a resurrection for all people – a resurrection unto eternal life -- or – a resurrection unto eternal death. In 1 Peter 1:3 – God caused us to be born to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. This living hope should be so real and evident to others, always ready to give an account for the hope that is in you (1 Peter 3:15). My hope is not in the economy, my good deeds, my hair, my family, or anything. Either you believe or you don’t; If you believe, then you forsake, repent, follow Him.
