Cain and Abel. One of the more well-known stories from early in the Bible. It continues the Adam and Eve narrative and it concludes the real beginning of Genesis. Taken with Genesis 3, it tells us very clearly that the progeny of Adam and Eve were in the same sinful state as Adam and Eve after their fall into sin. But it leaves us with a question: will we walk in the way of Cain who defied God's corrective word to him, or will we "call on the name of the Lord." Those are the two options. One leads to life, the other to death. And as the Scriptures tells us again and again, all who call on the name of the Lord will be saved.

There are 150 Psalms. They cover the gamut of the human condition, but how are we to understand them? What would God have know so that this very broad book can guide our understanding of Him in our lives? See Psalm 1 and its partner Psalm 2.....

There are many ways that one could summarize a good story and there are many ways one could summarize the Bible. Creation, fall, restoration is a good summary. As we have sat in the beginning of Genesis, even in these first few chapters, we've seen the importance of confessing the true God as the creator God and also we have seen his commitment to his creation despite sin and rebellion. In this sermon, Pastor Peter suggests this as a quick summary of the Bible: The creator God covenanted with his world and people and makes good on his covenant in Jesus.
