Join us for worship as we continue our walk through Genesis in "The Patriarchs" series! Opening to Genesis 28:10–22, this message—"Stairway to Heaven"—follows Jacob as he flees his home into the wilderness. Resting his head on a stone pillow, he experiences a remarkable vision of a stairway spanning heaven and earth, with angels ascending and descending upon it.Through this iconic passage, we see how the stairway points directly to Jesus Christ, who bridges the infinite gap between a holy God and sinful humanity. As God reiterates His covenant promises to Jacob, He offers an enduring guarantee that speaks to all believers: "I am with you and will keep you wherever you go." No matter what uncertainties, health struggles, or trials we face, our covenant-keeping God promises His abiding presence every step of the way. Finally, we consider Jacob’s awe-filled response as he consecrates the ground at Bethel and commits his life to the Lord. This powerful encounter challenges us to move beyond merely knowing facts about God to experiencing a personal, living relationship with Him. Tune in to be encouraged by God's unwavering faithfulness and refreshed in His presence!

We continue our study through Genesis in "The Patriarchs" series! Opening to Genesis 27:1-45, this message—"A Tale of Four Sinners (and One Sovereign God)"—examines a family deeply divided by secret schemes, favored children, and outright deception. As Isaac tries to bypass God's word and Jacob pretends to be Esau, we see a vivid picture of how easily human hearts lean on worldly methods rather than trusting in God's promises.Throughout the sermon, we look at each character's flaws and learn vital lessons about faith and obedience. From Rebekah's attempt to justify bad means for a good end to Esau's dangerous, vengeful anger, Scripture reminds us that right goals never sanctify sinful actions. Yet above all human brokenness stands the Lord Almighty, who uses even our flawed choices to carry out His divine, unearned grace.Finally, we find deep encouragement in the absolute truth of God's providence. As Proverbs 19:21 tells us, many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails. Tune in to be refreshed by the comforting assurance that no human scheme, mistake, or opposition can ever derail the good plans God has for His redeemed children!

Join us as we continue our series through the Patriarchs! Opening to Genesis 25:19-34, this message delves into the story of Jacob and Esau, exploring the deep-seated sibling rivalry and family division that began even before their birth. Through the long twenty-year season of waiting for Isaac and Rebekah, we are reminded of God’s perfect timing and His unwavering faithfulness to fulfill His covenant promises.In this passage, we examine the doctrine of sovereign election and what it means for our daily faith. As Paul highlights in Romans 9, God chose Jacob over Esau before either had done anything good or bad, demonstrating that His salvation rests entirely on His sovereign call rather than human merit or cultural traditions. We are challenged to look past our own self-reliance and rest fully in the unmerited grace of God.Finally, the sermon confronts the danger of despising our spiritual blessings for temporary earthly satisfaction. Looking at Esau’s reckless decision to trade his birthright for a single bowl of stew, we are reminded of the foolishness of prioritizing immediate desires over eternal promises. Tune in to be encouraged, refreshed, and grounded in the blessed assurance of God’s secure, sovereign love!
