The Wonder of Creation: According to Genesis, everything we see was created by God. Yet, as adults, we can sometimes lose our ability to grasp the wonder of God's creation. In this series, Jeremy Painter encourages us to revisit the wonder of creation through the eyes of a child. If creation is awe-inducing, how much more the creator?
Key Scriptures:
Last week we considered how so much of creation is a blessing to us as opposed to the fallen spirit of the culture and world. In seeing and appreciating God’s creation, we begin to see how great He is and can praise Him for all He has made. This week we will look more closely at the way God focuses on the details of creation and in particular the one part of creation made in His own image, people!
Key Scriptures:
Last week we wondered at how God’s word was in the beginning, made all things, became flesh, and will remain forever. We also considered how we can be a part of that. This week we will look more closely at why God’s creation seems so ordinary rather than “Good” as God declared it, and seek to understand how we can see our lives as God sees them.
Key Scriptures:
Last week we looked at how God alone sought and found wisdom and understanding. This week we will look at the ways God describes His creation and our relationship to His word. The Bible isn’t just any old story, it contains the words of life for all of us, and when we step back and examine it for what it is, God’s word will leave us in awe and wonder.
Homework: Read John 14. Write down three or four of the commands of God. This chapter is full of promises, the things He wants us to know, not least of which is the love of God, true peace and the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Pray about these things and ask God to send His spirit into your life. Ask God what He wants you to do and don't be afraid to tell Him "Yes!"
Key Scriptures:
When God made man in His own image, He made a creature that would seek meaning and knowledge. In the thousands of years since Eden’s garden paradise, mankind has sought to discover everything under the sun and even more. This week we will look at the start of this process in each of us, how we can understand the hidden nature of God, and the escape from our own understanding for what God can reveal to us.
Homework: Find a place where you can set aside distractions, anything but you and God. Once there, try to remember what it was like as a child to be impressed by God's creation and let that wonder and awe fill your mind and lead you to the Creator.
Jesus’ command to “go make disciples” is the foundational precept of the Great Commission. In this series we will explore the church’s critical mandate to make disciples from biblical, theoretical, and practical viewpoints. This series will motivate and encourage every believer to make disciples.

We all want a life of meaning and purpose, and almost everywhere we turn someone is telling us how to find fulfillment. And despite all those voices of guidance, our modern culture is one of loneliness, anxiety and depression. What if God has other plans for us, and we have missed them? In this compact series by Rev. Ken Gurley, we will explore the big questions in life like:
- What is my purpose for being here?
- Where do I fit in the kingdom of God?
- What is my place and where do I belong?
In searching for these answers, we will unlock God's heart and design for his most beloved creation, people. Join us as we unwrap the Four Tables.
