Genesis

Winning Over Anger

Anger is an emotion that easily gets out of control. Like a volcano, the pressure builds and builds until you explode in an angry tirade.
The result is one of devastation and destruction. Others are consumed by our outburst, and that same outburst can come to destroy us as individuals.
We invite you to join us this coming Sunday as we look further into Genesis 4:6-16
as we discover practical ways to deal with our anger as we seek to honor others and treat others as we ourselves would like to be treated. We can win over our
anger.
We meet for worship at 9:30 am. at 740 N. 129 th Street along the West Dodge corridor in Omaha, Nebraska.

Pleasing God

What does it take to please God? God wants our time and our attention, keeping Him and His teachings first in our lives.
In Genesis 4, both Cain and his brother, Abel give gifts to God. While God is pleased with what Abel gave, He “had no regard” for Cains gift. Why, because Cain gave out of his leftovers and Abel out of his first fruits.
When we place God first, He blesses us for having right priorities.
We invite you to join us this coming Sunday as we look further into Genesis 4:1-7, discovering how to please God and then to be rewarded as we “earnestly seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6).

Finding Hope

God’s timing is always right. Just when Adam and Eve felt the brunt of God’s response to their sin, God provided hope. Hope not simply for a day but for life and for eternity.
When we feel hopeless, we can find solace in God’s promises, in His provision, His purposes, and in His protection.
Join us this coming Sunday as we launch into the study of Genesis 3:20-24, discovering the encouragement that God provided at that time and how He continues to this day to provide encouragement for those who call upon His name.

The Ultimate Viral Infection

Pandemics . . . we hear about them and are more keenly aware of their impact since the spread of Covid-19.
Warnings of future viral attacks continue to make the news along with fear of some new disease coming down the pike that is generically labeled, Disease X.
Viruses spread quickly and are difficult to treat.
In Genesis 3, we find record of a virus that spread to all humankind. It affected the first generation of people on the earth, and it continues to affect us today.
The virus described in Genesis 3 has only one know antidote, and that antidote is available is found in faith in Jesus Christ.

The Blame Game

Game shows have been around since the dawn of time. They date all the way back to the first book in the Bible, Genesis.
The game to which I refer is not in the “big-inning” as if part of a softball game, but one later in Genesis 3.
The game in Genesis is so easy to play and so easily understood that a child can learn the rules of the game without ever being taught.
Adam and Eve introduced the game that is simply titled, “The Blame Game.”
In the game, you never accept any blame for any of your actions. Instead, you blame someone or something else, refusing to take any responsibility.
It’s quite literally a game that everyone plays at some point in their lives. Join us as we look at that game as we study Genesis 3:8-13.

Know the Enemy

A key to success in the sports world is to know your opponent. If you have no idea of what offensive plays they use and defenses they present, you enter the fray at a tremendous disadvantage.
The same is true for those seeking to follow Jesus. When Eve and Adam encountered the serpent in Genesis 3, they were naïve to his plan and quickly fell prey to his seductive words. It is wise to know now the enemy of our faith functions.
Join us this coming Sunday as we delve into Genesis 3 vv1-7, as we discover that the approach leveled at Eve and Adam is repeated throughout the biblical text. Gain insights into how the adversary operates.

The Nature & Necessity of Marriage

Successful marriages follow three basic steps. Those steps are found in Genesis 2: leave, cleave, and become one.
You leave your life of singleness behind, directing your attention away from yourself to your mate. You cleave to one another as you make the relationship central. Finally, you enter the life-long process of becoming one. The process will require mutual commitment and a willingness to sacrifice for the other.
The process of becoming one continues as long as you are together.
We want to invite you to join us this Sunday, as we look at Genesis 2:24-25, discovering both the nature and necessity of marriage.

Finding a Completer

God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18 – ESV).
A mate was needed. Someone to be a companion and completer. Solomon wisely stated that “two are better than one” (Ecclesiastes 4:9).
Where one is weak, another is strong. When you find a completer, you find someone with differing strengths and weaknesses than you, so when combined together you have a become a more complete whole.
We want to invite you to join us this Sunday, as we look at Genesis 2:18-23, discovering the importance of finding a completer.

God’s Provision – Our Preoccupation

Wet paint! Don’t Touch!
We see the sign and one of our tendencies is to touch the paint and make sure. Is it wet?
In Genesis, we find how God provided everything humankind needed. Good food, nice climate, safety, security, etc. There was only one prohibition. They could eat of any tree from the garden, except one. So where did they focus their attention? Just like most of us, they were drawn by the one prohibition.
We want to invite you to join us this Sunday, as we dive into the biblical text in Genesis 2:4-17 as we discuss what God’s Provision and Our Preoccupation.

Entering Into God’s Rest

Rest: we know we need it but rarely get it. We long for a good night’s rest, but the demands of life rob us of the ability to get the rest we so desperately need.
God knows we need rest. He offers His rest to those who seek it. As we trust in Him and in His Son, Jesus, we find rest for our souls. Worry is chased away as we rest in God’s promises and provision.
We want to invite you to join us this Sunday, as we dive into the biblical text in Genesis 2:1-3 as we discuss what God’s Word says about rest and how we can find it.
