In two previous posts, we have learned two important lessons from the judgment of God as presented in Genesis chapter five. They are: 1. God's reason for judgment 2. God's consistency in judgment A third lesson we learn from God's judgment is His grace. It is odd that we would find beauty in judgment, by grace is such a gem. Like the piece of coal that is formed into the exquisite diamond, God's grace is most wonderfully displayed in the harshest environments: life in a fallen world with fallen human beings. God's Grace in Human Life In Genesis chapter five, one aspect sticks out to the average reader: the length of human life. The oldest one to live was Methuselah. He lived to an astounding

This evening our members are separated physically. Due to the COVID-19 emergency, we are striving to love one another by limiting our social interactions. As such, our deacons and pastor prayed and discussed the matter and decided to suspend all our on-campus gatherings. In an effort to maintain unity and spiritual growth, we have created a YouTube channel. We are encouraging our members that, though we cannot gather together physically, that we gather technologically through these means. Our YouTube channel is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4vDYHxrW6HrzekMhKI0nQA Each Wednesday and Sunday we will do our best to send out an email with the link for that day's Bible study or sermon. Then, a

In a previous post, we examined the first lesson we learn from The History of Judgment, a sermon on Genesis chapter five. In this post, we continue our learning by examining the second lesson we learn: the consistency of God's judgment. God is a consistent judge, meaning that He has, is, and will continue judging sin. Since God is holy and we are sinful, He must judge sin. If you go back and read Genesis chapter five, you will notice that every single individual named, with the exception of Enoch, died. God promised Adam that if he failed to obey God, he would die (see Genesis 2:17). Adam failed to obey, as did every individual who came from Adam (with the exception of Jesus Christ). Another

A Statement to the Members of Warrior Creek Baptist Church 19 March 2020 Good morning, I would like to take this opportunity to begin with a verse from Isaiah 40:12, “Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, and marked off the heavens by the span, and calculated the dust of the earth by the measure, and weighed the mountains in a balance and the hills in a pair of scales?” (NASB) In this time of uncertainty and confusion, we as followers of Jesus, have no need to be afraid or unsure. Our infinitely wise and powerful God is in control. Furthermore, our great God has given us the gift of His Church, and we are grateful for the opportunity to gather (Heb. 10:24)

The entire world is under great stress and anxiety. Many people all over the globe are sick and in dire need of help. Families across this planet are mourning the deaths of loved ones. What are we do to? What is the Christian response? I believe there is a two-fold response that we can take. Faith in the Sovereign God First, as we understand Who God is, we have no reason to worry, fret, or give in to anxious thoughts. The Scriptures declare God to be sovereign, meaning that He is in complete control. On Wednesday evenings we have been examining the Baptist Faith & Message 2000. On God, the BF&M states, God as Father reigns with providential care over His universe, His creatures, and the flow

Introductory Thoughts This Sunday evening we looked at Genesis chapter 5. Our primary focus was on judgment. This judgment comes from the Creator God, as established by Genesis chapter one and 2:5-24. God creates everything, culminating in the creation of man and woman. Before creating the woman, God issues a command and prohibition to Adam (Gen. 2:15-17). When Adam fails to obey His Creator, judgment comes (Gen. 3). As a result, God cursed the ground (Gen. 3:17-19), but He also eventually executed the judgment of death promised in Gen. 2:17. 4 Lessons on Judgment In chapter 5 of Genesis, we see a shift from the focus on Cain and his seed to Adam and his seed. Humanity is now born in the ima
