Church Family,
What a joy it is to gather together and come underneath God’s Word, learning, growing, and being encouraged by the truths of Scripture. This Sunday, Genesis reminded us that though sin brings disorder, it will not win in the end. In the third chapter of our bibles, we see that God will and has made the way for us to be restored and return to the garden. This promise is found in Genesis 3:15, which has been called the Proto-Evangelium, first gospel. In the midst of consequences being laid before our first parents, there is hope in Eve’s offspring; it’s Jesus. Sin brings disorder and plagues us today. It is the root of our problems and requires more than bandaids and ointments. So the Lord in Genesis provides the way to be restored, provides hope in these dark days of sin’s consequences. Be encouraged and fight the good fight against sin, not through your own strength, but through the person and work of Jesus promised in Genesis 3:15 to offer the final and decisive blow to sin.
Let Us Pray!
This week’s in-person prayer gathering will begin, as usual, at 6:30 pm on Wednesday. If you have not been able to join, let me encourage you to carve out some time to participate along with us in prayer. We will also provide a zoom link for those who feel particularly venerable in gathering (https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81202051634).
