Throughout history, no matter how dark the days on earth, God has always preserved for Himself a righteous remnant - those willing to honor and serve Him irrespective of the cost. Such is the line of Seth in Genesis 5 - when despite the expansion of wickedness men "began to call on the name of the Lord" - men like Seth, Enoch and Noah...

In 1871 Charles Darwin penned the celebrated sequel to his infamous work on evolution entitled, 'The Descent of Man' - an apt title for the unfolding narrative of Genesis 3-4 as sin takes root in the heart of Adam and Eve and produces destruction in the lives of all that follow after them. From the first moment that our forebears ate of the forbidden tree, they heard the voice of God, hid from the presence of God, and began to hate those made in the image of God...

In recognition of festival, Pastor Michael continues our journey through Genesis 2 - as the focus turns to man - male and female - created in the image of God - to rest, to work and to experience intimacy...

"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)

As Paul draws to the end of the final chapter of his last letter, he urges Timothy to run his race well - preach the Word and fulfill his ministry. Imprisoned in Rome on death row, there is an urgency to Paul's message: time is short, lets make our live count for eternity...

2 Timothy 3 begins with the warning that the days in which Timothy finds himself are "perilous times". And such 'Fierce Times' demand 'Firm Beliefs' and a 'Fighting Faith' that is focused on the eternal perspective of Jesus' return.

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.
