Independent Bible Church Sunday Messages

Taking a break in our Genesis series, we have the pleasure of hearing a special message preached from the book of Acts, where Stephen gives a defense of the Gospel after being accused of blasphemy by those who opposed his teachings. Please join with us as we have a special message based on Acts 7: 6, entitled "400 years?" presented by Chris Clark of Children of the Nations this Sunday.

Part of our identity is from our Creator, but another part is how He has interwoven the generations that have come before us. The Genesis story tells us that Adam and Eve succumbed to the curse of death, but not before God allowed them to leave a legacy of generations of Mankind, and Genesis gives us that heritage from the first generation to Noah, and how each experienced both the blessing of God and the and the impacts of the curses that marred God's original design. Join us as we trace a particular family line for several generations, we look at, "The Epitaph of Sin" as laid out in Genesis 5.

After the encounter of Cain and Abel, Adam and Eve and their descendants continue to fulfill God's command to fill the earth. Some notable descendants and their attributes are mentioned in the remainder of Genesis 4. Certain descendants are called out as the fathers of different groups of people. Please join with us as we look at some of the notable people in the first generations of Adam and Eve's progeny, with "The Song of Lamech" from Genesis 4: 17 - 26.

Continuing our study of the Book of Genesis, Adam and Eve have been expelled from the Garden of Eden and are adapting to their new normal in the now-fallen world. Genesis 4 opens with the birth of their sons Cain and Abel, who show us how the fall has made it more challenging to love God and love our brother, as Jesus later instructed us to do. Please join with us as we look at the story of such interactions for the first generation born into the fallen earth, and how they worked with God and with each other in, "True and False Worship" from Genesis 4: 1 - 16.

Returning to our study of the Book of Genesis, Adam and Eve have been introduced to temptation and deception, and consequently disobeyed God. They are facing Him for the first time since that occurred and have found that the relationship has changed. We look at how God responds to the change. Will he make good on what He said would happen should they disobey? Will His love toward this "very good" portion of His creation change? Please join with us as we look God's response to Adam and Eve after the fall, with "Paradise Lost: The Judgement" from Genesis 3: 14 - 24.
