Isaiah tells us that “they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength,” that their spiritual strength is renewed not when the Lord acts but as they wait for the Lord to act (Isaiah 40:27-31). How do you respond to this?

Message from Kaloma Smith on June 2, 2024

We’re all control freaks, aren’t we? However, because there’s so little that we can control and so much that is out of our control, we live anxiously. Would it help us if we got into an ark?

From the first act of rebellion against God in Genesis 3, sin spreads quickly throughout creation. In Genesis 6, evil reaches a head, and God steps in. Through a surprising act of salvation, we learn that the judgment and mercy of God are both necessary for God to stop evil in it's tracks—in the past, the present, and the future.

The Bible has several examples of genealogies: lists of family generations. The one in Genesis 5 is meant to help us notice how the blessing of God will eventually overcome the curse of sin. We see the overall faithfulness of God over time, but we also see a few notable examples of out-of-the-ordinary blessing. How can those stories encourage us and inform our life today?

God created humans to be creative. Although Genesis 4:17-26 mostly exposes the dark side of human creativity, in the end it shows us how we can be creators who have been created in the image and likeness of God.
