When you think of Genesis, you may not think of family. Yet, that’s exactly the theme of this first book of the Bible. And family is complicated. Genesis is the original home DNA kit. It allows us to trace our collective lineage and history as God’s created people.  This is important because one must learn  where they've come from, to know where to go. Likewise, one must learn  who their family is, to know who they are.  Any exploration of one’s family tree will yield details to essential life questions.  The answers to these questions and more are revealed in the book of Genesis.

He is, without a doubt, the most famous person in all of human history. More songs have been written about him, artwork created of him, and books written about him than anyone who’s ever lived. Even our calendar is based off his life, dividing time before and after him. Naturally, someone this important will have fans and foes. Most think they have an idea of who Jesus is. However,  much of those ideas are  erroneous having  come from pop culture, history books, hearsay, or even past experiences with "Christians".  No matter where these ideas about Jesus come from, it is our aim and practice to Make Jesus Known as he truly is.

Our current series 'Vows' is about covenant. 'Covenant' is different from 'contract'. One is about reciprocity, the other is about sacrificial love. Our culture  would rather ask 'what have you done for me, lately', rather than 'what can I do for you, today'. Christians are called to 'hold fast' because that's what Jesus does for us...and that's good news.

“For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.” —1 Corinthians 15:3
