Genesis 35:1-15: God Has Revealed Himself

In chapter 35, Genesis begins to pivot from the story of Jacob to that of Joseph. As a part of this pivot, God appears to Jacob to once again give him the name Israel, the name by which he is referred going forward. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley shares how God chooses to reveal Himself to us today and what our responses should be when He does.

Genesis 34:1-31: Justice Deferred

As we return to Genesis, we come to one of the more difficult passages in Scripture, where one person’s sin leads to more and more sin and injustice. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley shares how we can look at this story and still see God’s hand at work and experience His mercy through Christ.

Psalm 119:169-176: To Know God Is to Know His Word

How many of us can truly say we delight in reading God’s Word daily? For many Christians, this is a struggle, and yet there is no other way to truly know God. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley shares just how vital being in God’s Word daily is to our lives.

Genesis 32:24-32: Wrestling with God

Before Jacob crosses over to see his brother Esau, he wrestles with God in a physical and spiritual sense, leaving his old life and identity behind. In this week’s sermon, Pastor Scott Gourley shares how we as believers often do the same.

Genesis 32:1-23: Two Camps, Two Identities

As Jacob learns that his brother Esau is coming to meet him as he makes his way back to the land, he panics and divides his camp into two out of fear. He also, however, does turn to the Lord. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley shares what we can learn from Jacob’s reaction and how we can more fully commit to following Christ’s direction.

Romans 6:1-11: Alive to God

Each Easter, we celebrate Christ rising from the dead. How often do we think through the full implication of the Resurrection on our lives now, however? In this Easter Sunday message, Pastor Scott Gourley explains just what both the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ mean to the believer now.

Genesis 29:31-30:24: Three’s a Crowd

In last week’s message, we saw how Jacob not waiting for God to provide a spouse led to him having two wives, one of whom was not his choosing. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley delves into the fallout from that in the lives of Leah, Rachel, and Jacob, exposing how we often rely on things other than Christ to fulfill us.

Genesis 29:1-30: The Deceiver Deceived

As we continue with Jacob’s story, we come to him meeting Rachel and being deceived by Laban. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley shares how we often like Jacob rush into things without seeking God but how God still chooses to intercede for us.

Genesis 28:10-22: The Stairway to Heaven

As Jacob flees from Esau, he lays down for a night’s rest and is visited by God in a dream. In this week’s message, Pastor Scott Gourley shares what we can learn from this encounter and the fact that it is more important to seek the One Who blesses than the blessing.
