Pastor Rick’s Reflection on Colossians 3 and Genesis 25-32

Colossians 1:19-23 presents a profound picture of Jesus Christ’s mission in the divine plan of redemption.

Abraham was now a very old man, and the Lord had blessed him in every way.

When Sarah was 127 years old, she died at Kiriath-arba (now called Hebron) in the land of Canaan. There Abraham mourned and wept for her.

Abraham moved south to the Negev and lived for a while between Kadesh and Shur, and then he moved on to Gerar. While living there as a foreigner, Abraham introduced his wife, Sarah, by saying, “She is my sister.” So King Abimelech of Gerar sent for Sarah and had her brought to him at his palace.

When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’ Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life.

This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy.

Pastor Ben’s Reflection on Colossians 1-2 and Genesis 17-24

Acts 2:1-13 narrates the transformative event of Pentecost, marking the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the early disciples of Jesus Christ.

At one time all the people of the world spoke the same language and used the same words.

At one time all the people of the world spoke the same language and used the same words.

At one time all the people of the world spoke the same language and used the same words.

At one time all the people of the world spoke the same language and used the same words.

Then God blessed Noah and his sons and told them, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth.

Pastor Duane’s Reflection on Genesis 9-16

Genesis 1:26-28 and Genesis 2:18-25 provide foundational insights into the creation of humanity and the divine purpose behind the institution of marriage.

But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the boat. He sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the floodwaters began to recede.

When everything was ready, the Lord said to Noah, “Go into the boat with all your family, for among all the people of the earth, I can see that you alone are righteous.

This is the written account of the descendants of Adam. When God created human beings, he made them to be like himself.

The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day he asked the woman, “Did God really say you must not eat the fruit from any of the trees in the garden?”
