48:25Text: Genesis 1:1 Introduction: Why Study Genesis? It sets the foundation for the rest of the Bible. It gives us the purpose of God for mankind. It describes the origin and effects of sin. It anticipates God’s answer to our problem of sin, a seed coming through the line of Abraham. It describes the origin of the nation of Israel and the Promised Land. It reveals the character of God to us. The Historical Background of Genesis Genesis is a book of beginnings, and the first of the five books of the Pentateuch. Genesis was penned by Moses while the children of Israel were in the wilderness. The Thematic Structure of Genesis Genesis 1-11 sets the foundation in broad terms of how the world was made and the fall of man. (wide angle lens) Genesis 12-50 focuses on the family of Abraham and how God’s promise will be fulfilled to send redemption to His people. (zoom lens) The Creator God of Genesis (Genesis 1:1) Our God is the mighty and everlasting Creator and Sustainer of all things, and we are accountable to Him as His creation.

54:00Text: James 1:19-25 Listen to the Word Openly (vs. 19-20) Be quick to hear – “I am eager to listen.” Be slow to speak – “I will not make excuses.” Be slow to anger: “I will not justify my disobedience.” Receive the Word Humbly (vs. 21) Receiving the Word requires putting our sin away. Receiving the Word involves accepting it as salvation for our souls. Obey the Word Persistently (vs. 22-25) A forgetful hearer has been informed by the Word, but not transformed by the Word. A faithful doer has been transformed by the Word to freely live out his identity in Christ. Josiah & Jehoiakim: A Lesson in Responding to God’s Word (2 Kings 22:8-12; Jeremiah 36:1-3, 20-24)…

He is full of mercy, grace, faithfulness, and love with forgiveness for sinners. The Stunning Love of God Demonstrated in His Son (John 3:16-17) God’s love came down to us in the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ.
