    Genesis 9: “I Have Set My Bow in the Cloud”

    The flood has passed. Noah and his family walk into a world washed clean. In Genesis 9, God speaks with grace and authority. He blesses Noah, reaffirms his first command for fruitfulness, and establishes a covenant with every living creature. The rainbow becomes a lasting sign of God’s promise never to destroy the earth by flood again. Yet even in this new beginning, sin is not far away. Today we hear of God’s mercy, human weakness, and a covenant that points forward to a greater promise still to come.  The Rev. Steven Theiss, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in New Wells, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Genesis 9.  Genesis isn’t just the start of the Bible; it’s the foundation of everything. Creation, sin, judgment, grace, covenant, and promise all take root in this remarkable book. The stories are ancient, but their truths are eternal. In this new series from Thy Strong Word, Pastor Phil Booe and his guests walk verse by verse through Genesis, exploring how God reveals Himself as Creator, Judge, and Redeemer. From the grandeur of the cosmos to the struggles of ordinary families, Genesis introduces us to a God who speaks, acts, and keeps His promises. So, whether you’ve read it a hundred times or are just now cracking it open for a serious look, this series will help you see Genesis with fresh eyes—and a deeper faith.

    Genesis 8: “God Remembered Noah”

    Water covered everything. The storms and bursting springs had done their work. God had unleashed upon the world a catastrophic flood against which all future watery disasters would be judged. And when the rain stopped, there was nothing left but silence. Then, Genesis 8 begins with one of the most powerful phrases in Scripture: ‘God remembered Noah.’ Not that He ever forgot, but that He now acts on his promises. The same God who judged the world in righteousness now moves in mercy.  The Rev. Peter Burfeind, pastor of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Union City, MI and Agnus Dei Lutheran Church in Marshall, MI, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Genesis 8.  Genesis isn’t just the start of the Bible; it’s the foundation of everything.

    Genesis 7: God Washes Away Sin

    Look around at society today and it’s easy to see the corruption of sin. Each day it feels like the world is going further and further off the rails. Violence is rising, truth is ignored, and faith seems like a relic. But what if I told you this was nothing new? When you see faithlessness and violence rising and believers experiencing mockery and increasing persecution, know that none of this is surprising to God. In Genesis 7 we continue the account of Noah and the flood. God promised a flood in judgment—and now it’s raining. This isn’t just ancient history. It’s a wake-up call that sin and disobedience rightly draw God’s wrath, but even amid judgement God shows grace.  The Rev. Dan Eddy, pastor of Messiah Lutheran Church in Beloit, WI, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Genesis 7.  Genesis isn’t just the start of the Bible; it’s the foundation of everything. Creation, sin, judgment, grace, covenant, and promise all take root in this remarkable book. The stories are ancient, but their truths are eternal.

    Genesis 6: God is Sorry He Made Man

    Things fall apart—our sin has corrupted God’s creation. That’s the sense you get as you open Genesis 6. The world God once called ‘very good’ is now soaked in violence, corrupted to its core. The sons of God blur the boundaries, the mighty ones take what they want, and the Lord looks and grieves. But all is not lost. One man still walks with God. This man God calls to builds an Ark while everyone else is building their lives on sand. For the next four chapters, we step into the days of Noah—a time of chaos, judgment, and surprising grace.  The Rev. Jacob Hercamp, pastor of Christ Lutheran Church in Noblesville, IN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Genesis 6.   Genesis isn’t just the start of the Bible; it’s the foundation of everything.

    Genesis 5: Such Long Lives! But Almost All of Them Died

    Some say it’s a rookie mistake to try and read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Why? The “begats.” There are plenty of places in the Bible where we get lists of genealogies, inventories, and other detailed records. It’s easy to get stuck in these places or skip over them. Genesis 5 is like those, but it is more than a record of who begat whom, it’s a slow drumbeat of mortality following the fall: “and he died… and he died…” The curse marches on. And yet, tucked in the middle of this graveyard of names is a flicker of something different. One man didn’t die. He walked with God and then he was not. What does that mean? Listen in as we uncover the gospel hidden in the genealogy and why this chapter still points us to Jesus.  The Rev. Dr. Keith Haney, Assistant to the President for Missions, Human Care, and Stewardship in the Iowa West District--LCMS, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Genesis 5.  Genesis isn’t just the start of the Bible; it’s the foundation of everything.

    Genesis 4: Cain Murders His Brother

    The fall didn’t end at the garden gate. Sin followed humanity into the next generation, and its consequences turned deadly. In Genesis 4, we meet two brothers. One offers his best to the Lord in faith. The other offers his sacrifice unworthily. One is received. The other is warned to do good and seek to please God. And when that warning is ignored, the first human blood is spilled in anger. But this isn’t just a story about jealousy or murder, it’s about worship, faith, repentance, and the mercy of a God who still speaks to sinners. Even in judgment, He marks Cain. Not to punish, but to preserve (at least for a time).  The Rev. Chris Matthis, pastor of Epiphany Lutheran Church in Castle Rock, CO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Genesis 4.  Genesis isn’t just the start of the Bible; it’s the foundation of everything. Creation, sin, judgment, grace, covenant, and promise all take root in this remarkable book. The stories are ancient, but their truths are eternal.

    Genesis 3: “Did God Actually Say...?”

    Adam and Eve lived in a world untouched by pain, guilt, or fear. They walked with God. They knew only the good of God’s creation and His will for them. But in Genesis 3, a voice enters the garden. We are introduced to one who would be our Accuser, the enemy of God and God’s people. The woman considers the serpent’s question, “Did God actually say..?” And for the first time ever she seeks to fulfill her own desires rather than God’s will. She eats. Her husband who stood by and did nothing, does something worse: he also eats. And with that one act, we learn the answer to the questions, “Why do bad things happen? Why is there sin and death in the world?”  The Rev. Thomas Eckstein, pastor of Concordia Lutheran Church in Jamestown, ND, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Genesis 3.   Genesis isn’t just the start of the Bible; it’s the foundation of everything. Creation, sin, judgment, grace, covenant, and promise all take root in this remarkable book. The stories are ancient, but their truths are eternal.
