ESTABLISH 101 - God is Faithful to His Promises

This episode marks the beginning of our section called “Covenant”. We will briefly revisit the covenant made after The Flood, and dive into God’s covenant with Abraham. We will see how God is a covenant keeping God as we continue through the Word. He is continually Faithful to His promises again and again.

ESTABLISH 101 - God's Sovereignty and People's Sinfulness

This lesson covers the Biblical account of the Tower of Babel and how the thousands of languages of our world began. After the Flood, humanity was walking in complete disobedience to God's command which was to be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth. Yet people's disobedience didn’t, and doesn’t today either, thwart God's sovereign plan as we will soon learn.

ESTABLISH 101 - God Rescues and God Judges

In this lesson we unpack the well known story of Noah's Ark. As we come to this part of history in the Bible it's evident it was a very dark part of human existence - every inclination of the thoughts of peoples heart was only evil all the time! However, God graciously confronts people with His truth, just like we are here today.

ESTABLISH 101 - God Continues to Pursue Relationship with Sinful People

In this lesson we will clearly see how God, despite how all people are now born separated from Him, that He still pursues a relationship with sinful people. All people have an opportunity to respond to God and walk with Him by humbly coming to Him through repentance and faith in the Deliverer. In this lesson, God's Word will tell how Cain, Enoch and Noah each responded to God's pursuit of relationship with them.

Genesis 20 & 21 - God Alone Is Sovereign

God’s purposes for His people are not conditional on their performance. The sins of our parents do not determine God’s presence and loving actions in our lives. God is sovereign and unrestrained by us. God’s ability to use even our own sins for his own purposes shows that he doesn’t love us simply for the great things we can do for him. Often, we think that God will love us more if we do great things for him. But the story of Abraham and Sarah (and the whole bible) shows us that God’s love is unconditionally based on His sovereign purposes.

ESTABLISH 101 - People Are Helpless Sinners

In this lesson, we close the narrative "chapter" on Adam and Eve's time in the Garden of Eden. Their choice of disobeying God, resulted in God driving them from Eden. Adam and Eve as sinners, rebels against Holy God, are now helpless unto themselves! Come hear how their existence went forward in a broken relationship with God as God continued in His mercy and grace to pursue restored relationship them in love.

ESTABLISH 101 - Separation From God

In this lesson, we will see how this decision to disobey God affected Adam and Eve and their relationship with Him. Within this we will dive into God's warning "but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die." What does death mean? As well, we will explore what is believed about death that doesn't line up with the truth of God's Word.
