"In the beginning..." The Creation narrative of Genesis does not start with the stars, the sun, the moon or the planets - but with light. "In Him was life," John says in the opening of his gospel "and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it." As Pastor Michael takes us through the first chapter of Genesis - we see these words of John come alive: There is light; there is life and there is relationship...

"In the beginning..." We typically think of the Creation account in Genesis 1:1 as the start of the human journey. But there is something before the 'beginning' - a starting point located in eternity past as described by the Apostle John in the opening statement of his Gospel: "In the beginning was the Word..." Pastor Michael opens our Genesis Journey with an overview of biblical history - a history defined not by Creation, but by the "one who upholds the universe by the Word of His Power" (Hebrews 1:3)

We're called to fan into flame the gift of God within us, by the power of the Holy Spirit deposited in us, to proclaim the message of salvation entrusted to us. This is how Paul - imprisoned and facing certain death - urges Timothy to run his race: effectively, wholeheartedly and faithfully.

We can’t know freedom in Christ in our hearts without the fruit of the Spirit being demonstrated in our lives. In this final message of our series in Galatians, Pastor Michael describes the reality that God can't be mocked, “whatever one sows, that will he also reap” (Gal. 6:7). You can’t live according to your selfish desires and then reap the fruit of the Spirit. So, Paul urges, us to walk, live and sow to the spirit - demonstrating fruitfulness, testing our faithfulness, and realizing the reality that we have been made a "new creation" in Christ.
