Genesis 3:7 ~ 24 is our target for today. Paradise is lost! Lost in a flash, a single act of disobedience and blame shifting destroys the perfect relationship between the Holy God and man.  Eve blames the serpent, Adam blames his wife and ultimately tries to hang the blame on God: However, God is not to be blamed for the fall of man.

Join us and find out how God intends to cure the sin problem.

Genesis 3:1~6 is our base text for today.

A simple command was given, "Do not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." The serpent was sly and Eve fell to its' deception.  The twisting of God's word is the devils favorite trick, it is as effective now as it was then.

Join us as we explore what God's word says about the event that changed man's relationship to God forever.

"Now the Serpent..." A new creature arrives in the account of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. He is yet to be named and only referred to here as the serpent. Note that we know this about him: He is crafty and shrewed. His deception of man begins and ends only when God decides to cast him in to hell in Rev. 20:10.

Other verses worthy of referencing while listening to this message:

Ezek. 28:11 ~ 17 Provides us with a great description of Lucifer before the fall (Isa. 14:12 ~ 15): See how God changed this created being from one form to another. From the great beauty to crawling on the ground, opn his belly.

Things to remember when dealing with the devil:

1. He is not omniscient -- All knowing, he is limited in his knowledge just like alll other created beings.
2. He is not omnipotent -- All powerful, he has to ask for permission to do anything to one of God's children.
3. He is not omnipresent -- Everywhere at all times, he can only be in one place at a time.

God created woman from man. She was created as a helper, an equal, and a complementary figure. Pastor Dan expands upon the gender roles and biblical definition of marriage.

Man was intentionally created. The Creator God made us from the dirt, so in a sense we are all dust balls. Join us as we move further in to the book of Genesis.

Genesis 2:1~3 is the text for today.

REST! Oh the glorious thought of resting! God rested on the 7th day, not that He was tired, but He knew we would need the rest.

The 7th day is unique in that God calls it Holy! No other day is declared to be so, even day six was only "very good." In our world where busyness is the master of the day, learn from teh Scripture and find rest in God. Join us as we continue our adventure through the Book of Beginnings, The Boom Genesis! 

Genesis chapter 1 is the treasury of the Creation account. All that we have need of concerning our world can be found in these first 31 verses. From darkness and void, to bright and teeming, all of it is covered in this first chapter.

Pastor Dan moves us through the creation account and draws some real world, real life applications. Join us as we discover again, the greatness of our Creator God.

The attack on the validity and veracity of the Bible begins at the Creation account. Society has been inundated with the lie of evolution and it is too often embraced by liberal theologians, then regurgitated to congregations accros the globe. You will find no such lie being held to, taught by or reproduced in the body of this local church. Pastor continues through the book of Genesis and in this message takes on some of that incorrect, non-biblical thinking.

You should also be ready to look at the first chapter of Colossians as Pastor uses it to buttress his point.

"In the beginning God..." The very first words in God's Word! It answers question of where everything came from, it answers the origin of all matter and of all that matters. Pastor Dan begins the series from the book of Genesis after an introduction of the need for understanding this book of firsts.

From the charge to teach all things in Titus 1:5, 9-10 given to elders. To the instructions concerning the origin and authority of Scripture as found in 2 Tim. 3:16, 17 and the proof of where it did not originate from 2 Peter 1:19~21. Pastor paints a clear path to God, the author and authority of all things relating to man, mankind and his temporary home here on earth.

This morning Pastor Dan finishes his series from the book of Galatians (6:11 ~ 18). During the final verses of this great epistle Paul makes some pointed comments that serve us well even today. Listen and heed would be key words for today!

What do you brag about? Where is your boasting? The apostle Paul clearly tells us where his boasting was and how it should be our point of boasting as well. He boasted only in the cross of Christ and so should we.Galatians
