Bro. John embarks on a journey with us through the book of Genesis and begins highlighting different forms and pictures of God that we can miss if we aren’t looking closely. Today’s sermon comes from Genesis chapter one and the creation story.
Elder Tommy preaches on the topic of love and points out that the source of love is God. If we have the fruit of the Spirit love, it is an evidence that we are born of God and know God.
Bro. John continues the journey in Genesis covering the fourth and fifth chapters focusing on the story of Cain and Abel and the importance of offering God the best of what we have.
Bro. John returns to Genesis for the story of Hagar. Through the story he illustrates how things can go awry when we try to make God work within our framework. He then discusses how God was with Hagar.
Bro. Derrick concludes our annual meeting by encouraging us with the knowledge that God is our mediator and stands between us and the Father to intercede on our behalf.
Bro. John takes us to Proverbs to discuss the women who are described as barren in the scriptures. He uses these examples to illustrate that sometimes God allows his children to go through situations that only he can get them out of so that when he delivers he receives all the glory.
