Genesis 3:14-15

The message this Sunday had two distinct "parts" with several appropriate songs in between. Verse 14 focused on the physical serpent's curse, and verse 15 focused on Satan's curse. Unfortunately, the message on verse 14 was not recorded successfully, so it's missing from this audio file.

Genesis 3:8-13

Genesis 2:24-25

Genesis 2:7-17

Adam is formed from dirt; at the same time, the LORD God uniquely makes him in His own image, breathing into his nostrils the "breath of life!"

Minor Prophet: Joel 1-2

Our own Dylan Ackley preaches on important themes from Joel chapters 1-2 -- focusing especially on the significance and importance of "the day of the LORD."
