    Genesis: Blessed From the Beginning | The Lie Goes Viral

    “A lie travels halfway around the world before the truth can tie its shoes.” This old adage continues to show its truth in an age of misinformation and AI deepfakes. Ironically, the saying itself is attributed to Mark Twain, despite there being no evidence the famous American writer ever said it!  Something like this is what happens in the wake of Genesis 3 as the book of Genesis continues on from the story of humanity’s tragic fall. In Genesis 3, we see humans begin to believe a lie implanted into their minds by Satan. We saw what happened to the first couple of people who believed it, and it’s safe to say that it wasn’t pretty. But what does it look like when this lie goes viral? When it starts to be believed and lived at a large scale? When it becomes the default way of thinking and viewing the world for all people? It’s the question the next few chapters of Genesis seeks to answer, and in this study we’re going to see how the next generation of humans have some ugly consequences from the lie’s spread. While this is a grim story, it also is filled with signs of hope and comfort, too, because it foreshadows the gospel if we know where to look.

    Genesis: Blessed From the Beginning | Where It All Went Wrong

    Do you have a moment where you felt like something important in your life all went wrong? Something that seemed like the right call in the moment but now in hindsight was a mistake, maybe a terrible one, and which can’t be undone? The story of the Bible has a moment like this, and it comes in Genesis 3. The first three chapters of Genesis, in fact, could be called something like “The Rise and Fall of Humanity.” It’s the story of a crisis, a tragedy. It might seem like something that happened a long time ago and which doesn’t have anything to do with us. But it’s all of our story. We all have “at the tree” moments, where we have a choice to make. Will we trust God with our happiness and future or will distrust him and choose to trust ourselves instead? It’s the story of a man who cheats on his wife. Of the city official who embezzles thousands of dollar. The teen who throws her friends under the bus to join the cool kids in school and stains her soul with guilt. The banker who thinks ethics don’t apply to them and breaks all the rules. Of the influencer who edits every photo and every moment until she can't remember who she is when the camera is off. Of the college student who posts what will get likes instead of what he actually believes. When we realize this the story comes alive and in this message Pastor Joel walks through Genesis 3 shedding light on how it’s all of our story. Like our own stories of sin, it’s a tragedy, but it also is a story of hope. Hope of a tender and forgiving God who says to us at our lowest, “It’ll be ok. I’ll fix what’s been broken. I’ll fix it all.”

    Genesis: Blessed From the Beginning | Dealing With Imposter Syndrome

    Psalm 8 is a reflection on the beginning of Genesis, on our call to reign as God’s image bearers. But it also reflects on a major tension we feel as we try to live it out, too. Verses 4-6 goes like this: “ What are mere mortals that you (God) should think about them, human beings that you should care for them? Yet you made them only a little lower than God and crowned them with glory and honor. You gave them charge of everything you made, putting all things under their authority…” It almost feels like the writer has imposter syndrome. How can people like me—filled with all the flaws and limits and quirks we all have—really do this? That kind of sentiment can keep us on the sidelines and from really becoming who God has made us to be. Genesis 2 reflects on this tension by explaining two ways God meets us in our limitations: Sabbath to meet our emotional, physical, and mental needs, and other people to help us in our aloneness. The truth is, the more we learn to depend on God and what he’s given us, the better we can be at being human and fulfilling the calling God made us all with. In this message, Pastor Joel explains it all.

    2026 Together Weekend | Stewarding the Domain or Mental Health

    Genesis 1 explains that to be human means to reign or govern the world alongside God. We each have a domain, a realm that is uniquely our own and where our will is the (or at least a) dominant one. On July 19th Res City did our Together Weekend Sunday, where we don't have a typical sermon but split the church into breakouts and this year we did four breakouts on this theme. In this breakout, Lisa Trump, Nicole Rohrer, and Catie Heen lead a discussion around how to reign well in the most basic part of us but which we're still called to steward responsibly: our mental health and thought life.

    2026 Together Weekend | Rooted: Creation Care as Worship

    Genesis 1 explains that to be human means to reign or govern the world alongside God. We each have a domain, a realm that is uniquely our own and where our will is the (or at least a) dominant one. On July 19th Res City did our Together Weekend Sunday, where we don't have a typical sermon but split the church into breakouts and this year we did four breakouts on this theme. In this breakout, Heather Lehn leads a discussion around how to reign well in the creation itself, a really important space to think about this concept because the first humans were literally tasked with it.

    Genesis: Blessed From the Beginning | Our World is Blessed

    “The future of the church is ancient.” What a surprising thing to believe, but the reality is God has given us all we need to navigate even the thorniest of issues we encounter. In a new series, we’ll be studying the oldest book in the Bible, Genesis. Genesis is the beginning of the lore, the founding myth, of all humanity, whether or not we, going about our day to day lives now, centuries removed from its stories and characters, are aware of it or not. The Bible begins by explaining how God has made the world to be the kind of place where humans can be who he made us to be. That’s what Genesis 1 is all about. In this message, Pastor Joel unpacks how the world was initially made to be that kind of place, and how it continues to be even now.
