Sermon Series: The Book of Genesis


Promises, Judgement, and Glory

Just as Abraham interceded for Lot, Jesus is always interceding for His children. When we inch too close to sin and linger there, Jesus is praying for us. He wants our desires to conform to His so that we respond to God’s Word in obedience.

Receiving What Is Given

Although Abraham and Sarah are old in age, God promises to give them a son. It is an unbelievable promise, and Abraham and Sarah must live by faith to receive it. Will you live by faith to receive the promise of God’s Son, Jesus Christ?

True Circumcision is of the Heart

In this passage we learn that God’s message to Abram (now called Abraham) was threefold: His sufficient power to fulfill His promises, the call to be wholly devoted to Him, and that He was going to make a covenant with Abram and multiply him greatly. What was...

Hold Firm to the Hand of Promise

While Abram and Sarai waited for God’s promise of a son to be fulfilled, they grew weary. Instead of holding onto God, they let go and turned to sin. We too are tempted to let go in the weariness of waiting, but we can take comfort in that the Founder of our...

God’s Commitment to the Covenant

God’s faithful character assures us of His unfailing commitment to His covenant. In our sin, we have broken our end of the covenant, but Jesus bore the covenant curse for us so that we can find rest in Him. Through faith, we know our standing in Christ.

Quiet Faith & Headline News

Do your acts of faith seem too small to matter? In today’s message, we learn the greatness of Abram’s quiet faith in the face of international might. Like Abram, we can be unmoved by the world’s threats and promises as we seek our strength in...

Come Home and Abide

The story of Abram and Lot separating is one of repentance, obedience, grace, and abiding. Abram settles in the land of promise and builds an altar to the Lord, but Lot moves his tent as far as the wicked city of Sodom. God calls us to repentance when we, like Lot,...

Answering the Call

In this chapter of Genesis we learn about God’s call to Abram and Abram and Sarai’s subsequent flee to Egypt. Moreover, we will see that faith requires submitting to God and trusting that He has a plan for our lives that is greater than our own.

What’s in a Name

In this exposition of the book of Genesis chapters 10 and 11 we learn that because of the deceptive nature of sin, we must allow God’s promises to shape all we are and do. Listen and find out more!

Marriage…God’s Way

Marriage is a God-given covenant that reflects Christ’s covenant with His bride, the Church. Glen Handford, who leads the Marriage Ministry at Waverley, unpacks what biblical marriage means, offers advice on how to keep a thriving relationship with your spouse,...

The Family Feud and The Master’s Table

In today’s story, we find ourselves in the midst of a terrible family feud which spreads disaster throughout the generations. But reconciliation is promised—Christ will bear the curse for us. He is the master reconciler of the brokenness caused by sin. Will you...

A New World A New Promise

After the waters subside, God promises Noah that He will never again destroy the earth by a flood. He gives the rainbow as a sign of His everlasting covenant. Though sin remains on this earth, we can know that God’s promises are sure and we can trust...

The Float of Grace

The story of Noah and the flood matters for us today. Noah exemplifies true faith and obedience to God’s Word and the flood displays the seriousness of sin in God’s eyes. God rescued Noah from the midst of the waters, just as He has rescued us from the...

From the Garden to Redemption

In this message, we learn about the condition of humanity in their fallen state and their desperate need for redemption. We anticipate the redemption that God will provide through his servant, Noah.

Live Die Repeat

What is the point of the story of Cain and Abel? In this message, we learn that Abel’s sacrifice was accepted by God because it was offered by faith (Heb. 11:4). When we die to sin and offer ourselves to God by faith, it will lead us to love our fellow...

Looking Beyond the Shattered Glass

All creation continues to struggle under the stain of Adam and Eve’s sin, and humanity’s only hope is found in Christ. In this message, we learn the deception, effects, and consequences of sin, but also our victory in Jesus being made a curse for us.

Setting the Patterns

The opening chapters of Genesis set a number of patterns that are developed throughout Scripture. In this message, we learn how each pattern is broken by sinful humanity, but restored in Jesus Christ. When we live according to God’s design established at...
