In the debate over the origins of the universe, the question really comes down to this: who is our ultimate authority? In the third message of our secondary chapel series on Genesis 1-3, we argued that the Bible, as God's special revelation to humanity, carries the authority of God Himself. With this in mind, we then made several observations about the creation account in Genesis, kicking off a month-long emphasis here at TCS on a biblical view of creation.

Four words into Genesis 1, a huge question emerges: "Who is God?" Mr. Hunter sought to scratch the surface of answering that very important question by taking a journey through the Bible in this second part of our 'Foundations' series in Genesis 1-3.

We are excited to study the first three chapters of Genesis in secondary chapel for the 2023-2024 school year! In this introduction to our series, our campus pastor, Jacob Hunter, read through the text, explained why we are studying this portion of Scripture this year, and detailed our game plan for approaching these chapters.

For the first secondary chapel of the 2023-2024 school year, our school administrator, Dr. Jeff Abbett, gave a message on "Knowing God" from Matthew 7:21-23 and Luke 13:22-30.

And just when you thought the Summer Family Podcast Series was over, we're back!! In this special behind-the-scenes episode, our campus pastor, Jacob Hunter, interviewed history professor Dr. Ben Esswein, who contributed much of the research for this series. Among other things, we discussed the question: "Why should we study church history, anyway?"

For the final episode of our Summer Family Podcast series, we were able to have a conversation with a truly legendary name from church history: Pastor John Calvin! Pastor Calvin shared his story with us, and through Calvin's life, we learned that our purpose as human beings is to live for God's glory alone - and through the work of Jesus, we can now properly live for God's glory by the Spirit's power.

Many thanks to Dr. Ben Esswein for contributing much of the research for and reviewing the script of this podcast! We are also indebted to the educational resources of Ligonier Ministries; for more information on John Calvin check out this article:
