The Promise has arrived! Genesis 21 reminds us that God is faithful to fulfill His promise and keep His word.

FEAR, FAILURE, AMD THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD. Genesis 20 reminds us that even faithful people can fail—but God remains faithful. Abraham acted out of fear, yet God protected Sarah, preserved His covenant promise, and showed mercy in the middle of human weakness. What a reminder that our hope is not in perfect people, but in a perfectly faithful God.

The God who rescues! Welcome to Picture this…Genesis 19. In this episode we explore the sobering account of S***m and Gomorrah, the rescue of Lot, and the mercy and justice of God. Through the destruction of the city and God’s deliverance of Lot, we are reminded that God is holy, sin is serious, and yet God still provides a way of rescue. Join us Sunday Morning as we see how Genesis 19 points us to the God who judges rightly, shows mercy faithfully, and ultimately provides rescue through Jesus Christ

Have you ever had to wait patiently for something? Much of life is lived in the waiting—between what is and what we hope will be.

Genesis 15 ends with one of the most powerful moments in Scripture. God cuts a covenant with Abram. God walks alone between the pieces. God says, in essence: “I will do this. I will fulfill the promise.” It is secure. It is guaranteed. It rests fully on God.

And then… Genesis 16. Nothing has changed outwardly. Still no child. Still waiting. Still silence. And into that waiting…Abram and Sarai make a decision. Not to trust. But to act.

Join us this Sunday, in-person or online, as we walk through Genesis 16 "The God who sees"

Deceived or Disobedient?
A Devotional Reflection on Truth and Obedience

As I was reflecting on 1 Timothy 2:14 “And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.” I began to think through the biblical truth of deception verse disobedience. The following is a brief and continued “work in progress” of what I have been studying on the issue.

In our spiritual lives, we sometimes struggle to understand why we fall into sin. Scripture shows us that there are two closely related but different issues that can lead us away from God: deception and disobedience. In the early chapters of Book of Genesis, we see this clearly in the story of Adam and Eve. When the serpent tempted Eve, she was deceived. The serpent convinced her that God’s command was not really for her good and that eating the fruit would bring wisdom and benefit. She believed a lie. Adam, however, was not deceived in the same way. According to the apostle Paul the Apostle in 1 Timothy 2:14, Adam knew the command of God but still chose to disobey. His action was deliberate disobedience.

Interesting: Romans 5:12
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—

This helps us understand an important biblical distinction:
Deception happens when we believe something that is not true.
Disobedience happens when we know what is right but choose not to do it.
Both lead us away from God, but they affect our hearts in different ways.

Sometimes we are deceived by the lies of the world, by our own distorted thinking, or by the enemy’s subtle whispers. We begin to question God’s goodness, His truth, or His wisdom. When this happens, we need God’s Word to correct and guide us. Other times, we know exactly what God is asking of us, but we resist. Our hearts want something different. In those moments, the issue is not confusion—it is obedience. What we need then is humility, repentance, and a renewed willingness to follow the Lord. The good news is that God meets us in both situations. He lovingly brings truth to the deceived and offers grace to the disobedient who turn back to Him.

Take a moment to consider your own heart.
Is there an area of life where you may have believed something untrue about God, yourself, or His Word?
Is there something God has clearly asked of you that you have been reluctant to obey?

Ask God to reveal whether you need greater clarity of truth or greater courage to obey.

Prayer: Lord,Thank You for Your Word that guides us in truth. Protect my heart from deception and help me recognize the lies that pull me away from You. Give me a humble heart that is quick to obey Your voice. Where I have believed wrongly, teach me Your truth. Where I have resisted Your will, lead me to repentance. Help me walk faithfully with You each day.�Amen.

A Simple Truth to Remember: Deception blinds the mind, but disobedience hardens the heart. God’s truth restores both. LET US WALK IN TRUTH.

This Sunday we continue our series “Genesis: A Book of Beginnings.”
In Genesis 11:1–9, we encounter the famous story of the Tower of Babel—but it’s far more than the origin of different languages. It reveals humanity’s deep desire to build a life, a legacy, and a name apart from God.
Yet the passage also reminds us of an unchanging truth:
God’s glory has no equal.
When humanity tries to exalt itself, God in His mercy redirects history toward His greater redemptive plan—a plan that ultimately leads to Christ.
Join us this Sunday as we explore how Babel exposes the human heart, reveals God’s mercy in judgment, and points us forward to the hope of the gospel.
Sunday at 10:30 AM

We’d love to have you join us!
