The Fall, Part 2
By Joey Carroll Last week, we began considering the fall of man, and the effect it had on humanity. When Adam and Eve chose to rebel against God, the punishment was severe. They were immediately removed from the perfect place in which God had created for them to live, the Garden of Eden. But the … Continue reading The Fall, Part 2
The Fall of Man
By Joey Carroll The most tragic and devastating moment in human history is recorded for us in Genesis 3 of the Bible.

But that terrible moment was … Continue reading The Fall of Man
God’s Image Restored in Christ
By Sarah Wootten “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness,’” (Genesis 1:26, ESV). Last week, we looked at how God made mankind special and distinguished them from the rest of creation. God created mankind in His image. However, it is clear that we are very unlike God. God’s likeness … Continue reading God’s Image Restored in Christ

And God says to Moses about Himself: “The LORD descended in the cloud and stood with [Moses] there, and proclaimed … Continue reading God is Gracious
God is Love
By Joey Carroll If any characteristic of God is well-known, love would be it. Scripture is certainly clear on the subject. 1 John 4:8 states, “…God is love.” John, the Gospel writer, does not simply describe God’s character as loving, but describes the very essence of God’s nature as love. Without question, the greatest display … Continue reading God is Love
The Just God
By Cody Anderson How many times have you heard, “That’s not fair?” Or how about, “Because I said so.” These are common phrases you probably heard growing up. As we grew up, we realized that life isn’t fair because fair is subjective. Our parents, being the authority in our lives, had the right to … Continue reading The Just God
God is Patient
By Sarah Wootten When we describe someone as “patient,” we generally mean that someone is good at waiting. Whether a person is waiting on Christmas break or waiting through a difficult season, we most often use the word “patient” to describe contentment while waiting. However, when we describe God as being patient, we mean a … Continue reading God is Patient
God is Merciful
By Joey Carroll The God who created the heavens and the earth has been so thorough in revealing who He is and what He is like. He first revealed His eternal power and divine nature through the act of Creation. He then described Himself with great detail and clarity in His Word, the Bible. And … Continue reading God is Merciful
