The book of Genesis is the book of beginnings. Many are surprised, however, to learn that grace is first found in Genesis. In this lesson we discover how in the story of Noah we find grace, faith and obedience - God's eternal formula for salvation.
In the final sermon of 2018 we take a look back and then forward. Waterview has been a successful church in the past, but we acknowledge the path to success is to keep moving forward. To inspire and encourage us we reflect on the words of Moses from Deut. 31:6.
As Christians we abide in the constant presence of God- how should that reality change us? Jacob’s own encounter with God in Genesis 28 gives us 4 things to consider.
Without the willingness to save, what good is might? As the end goal of His power and might, God’s mission of rescue to us is what truly separates Him from the powerless idols that so often pull us astray. We worship a God who is not just mighty, He is mighty to save!
Dr. Stan Reid visited with us for the third lesson in the Summer Series and delivered a great sermon about the valuing all life that God has created.
David Duncan visited with us for the third lesson in the Summer Series and delivered a great sermon about the uniqueness of our Christian faith.
David, Solomon and Samuel are Bible heroes. They are associated with greatness, faith and success. But they also have something else in common. While successful men, they struggled with fatherhood. All three had sons who were disappointments. Yet, all three of these fathers should have been very familiar with a passage of Scripture the Jews call the Shema. In Deuteronomy 6:4-9, there are three principles of fatherhood that makes successful men successful fathers.
Dr. Howard Norton visited with us for the second lesson in the Summer Series and delivered a great sermon about keeping your desires in check.
If you are married or plan to get married you need to pay attention to the marriage of Abraham and Sarah. Not only can we learn about the ups and downs that every married couple will experience, we also learn about the trials and triumphs of faith.
It's amazing how much we can learn about ourselves from the first few chapters of the Bible! It is also interesting how some of those same lessons apply to marriage, one of the major themes of Genesis. Today, we would be wise to learn the same lessons that Adam and Eve learned about marriage and apply them to our marriages today!
