  1. Are We Really Trusting God To Do The Work? (Genesis 16-17)

    6D AGO

    Are We Really Trusting God To Do The Work? (Genesis 16-17)

    Today we talk about Abram and Sarai’s decision to take matters into their own hands to have an heir. Our ability to look at their story from a 10,000 foot view helps us look at the important questions - are we really trusting God or are we trying to take control?

  2. Waiting Faithfully (Genesis 12-15)

    MAR 22

    Waiting Faithfully (Genesis 12-15)

    We’re looking at Genesis 12-15 today, examining the life of Abraham as he follows God’s call. God told Abraham that he would be a father to many and that God would bless all the people in the world through his descendants. The problem was that Abraham was very old and didn’t have any kids. PLUS his wife wasn’t able to get pregnant. But Abraham believed God’s promise. We see Abraham struggle to find a faithful way to walk in God’s calling - moments where he tries to take matters into his own hands, and moments when he is honest with God about how he feels. How do you feel about waiting for an answer from God? If you’re anything like us you hate the waiting. Today we learn from Abraham’s story and God’s faithfulness. Discussion Questions: Genesis 13 questions Have you ever trusted God and felt like you lost something because of it? Why do you think it’s so hard to let someone else “win”? How do we tell the difference between what looks right and what is right? Do you think Abraham knew what God would do, or was he just choosing peace? Where in your life are you tempted to grab control instead of trusting God? Genesis 14 questions What does it look like to fight for people instead of walking away from them? When has faith required courage instead of comfort? Do you think Abraham felt ready to lead, or did he just step forward? What’s the difference between trusting God and being passive? Genesis 15 questions Why do you think God allowed Abraham to wait so long? Have you ever asked God a hard question and felt nervous doing it? What does it mean that God calls Abraham righteous before the promise is fulfilled? How do you stay faithful when nothing seems to be changing? What’s something you’re currently waiting on that’s hard to trust God with? Resources: Tim Keller Sermons: https://gospelinlife.com/sermon/real-security-and-the-call-of-god/ Good Shepherd Pres. Sermon: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3r2B9SZgXPPra1dmHxkJXa?si=69bd6366e39243e5 Teachings from Jesus on what success in the kingdom of God looks like: Faith and obedience over wealth: Matthew 6:19–21 – Don’t store up treasures on earth, but in heaven. Your true “success” is what’s eternal. Mark 8:36 – “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” This directly contrasts worldly success (power, wealth, reputation) with God’s eternal perspective. Servanthood is greatness: Mark 10:42–45 – Jesus teaches that the greatest are the servants of all. Leadership and influence are measured by humility and service, not status or recognition. Faith in dependence on God: Luke 12:15 – “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.” Trusting God to provide and prioritizing His kingdom is central to spiritual success. Love as the highest measure: Matthew 22:37–40 – Loving God and loving your neighbor as yourself sums up the law and the prophets. Success is relational: loving others well, not just excelling personally. Eternal perspective over temporal achievements: Parables like the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14–30) show God values faithful stewardship—how we use what He gives us to serve others and expand His kingdom, not just personal gain.

  3. Following God's Call

    MAR 15

    Following God's Call

    (Genesis 12). Today we’re reading Genesis 12 and taking a closer look at the moment when God calls Abraham to leave his family and their land and follow Him. Where you might ask? “To a land I will show you,” says God. So basically God has called Abraham to leave everything he knows to go somewhere he will find out about later. Could you do it? Well, Abraham DID. And his faith in God blessed him and it blessed all people, just like God promised. This is the beginning of a very important family story and it will be a wild ride. We also spent some time today talking about idol worship and things that take our eye off God, what God intends when He blesses people, and asking ourselves what it looks like to build the kind of trust that acts the way Abraham does.

  4. But, God (live from UGA)

    But, God (live from UGA)

    We’re sharing Anna’s talk from the spring worship nights (2026). This talk is so insightful - she leans into the story of Joseph (which you can read in Genesis 37-50), and how God can use every single thing - good or bad - for His purposes. Waiting is not wasting when you trust and serve God. Hope you enjoy!

    Kate Lalley Live from Clemson

    AYA alumni Bible study leader Kate Lalley shares her story and an encouragement to pursue the Lord in all things. This is such a real and encouraging talk, hope you enjoy!

  6. Tower of Babel aka Strike 3 (Genesis 10-12)

    FEB 15

    Tower of Babel aka Strike 3 (Genesis 10-12)

    Today Emily and Anna dive into Genesis 10-12. They’re mainly focusing on chapter 11, which is the story of the Tower of Babel. You may have heard about this moment in Genesis before, but we want to talk less about the actual event, and more about what it shows us about the human heart, about God, and about our path forward.

  7. The Flood (Genesis 5-9)

    FEB 8

    The Flood (Genesis 5-9)

    Today we are looking at the story of Noah! It’s the ark, God’s commitment to keeping His beloved creation on the right path, the flood, and God’s covenant with Noah (and all living creatures). This week challenges our Sunday school knowledge of a scary and vengeful God and reveals a side of our creator that is tender, and even chooses to be vulnerable in His love for us.

  8. Sin is Crouching (Genesis 4)

    FEB 1

    Sin is Crouching (Genesis 4)

    Today Emily and Anna dive into Genesis 4 - the story of Cain & Abel. This is the first murder in the Bible (yikes), and the story really demonstrates how sin can take hold of us before we even realize it and take us way off course.
