Genesis 1-11

The opening chapters of Genesis are some of the most controversial in the whole Bible. Used by some as evidence for the proven fallibility of the Bible, whilst claimed by others to show the current scientific history of the universe is completely wrong, they contain much that is hard for us to believe or to understand.  In this series we explore the real message of Genesis 1-11 and discover that these ancient writings speak powerfully to us today, dealing with some of our most important questions and speaking into some of the most frustrating aspects of our lives.

Naked and Ashamed

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

We live in a culture where people go to great lengths to prevent and assuage negative feelings of guilt or shame. We want to help people feel good about themselves, regardless of anything they might have done. Is this really helpful, and is there a better way to handle these unpleasant emotions?

Be like God

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

Why is it said that forbidden fruit always tastes sweeter? Why is it so hard sometimes to do the right thing, even when we have the best intentions? Is there an solution, or are we just doomed to fail when we try to resist temptation?

The Snake

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

What, if anything, can we learn from the story of a talking snake trying to trick people into eating forbidden fruit? Is it an outdated and irrelevant relic from a gullible past? We find instead that it sheds light on much of what goes on inside our heads and hearts as we also face questions of truth and reality.

Made for Relationships

Speaker: Al Pickering

Date:

Friendships can give us great joy in life as well as great pain. The same is true of marriage. Why are relationships worth pursuing and how does God help us in them and through them?

Male and Female, Made Equal and Different

Speaker: Al Pickering

Date:

How important are our gender differences? Are they just physical plus what our culture has told us about how we should behave? In this message we look at what Genesis tells us about being male and female, as well as covering questions about whether Adam and Eve were real people or the first people.

In the Garden

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

The story of Adam & Eve in the Garden of Eden is pretty well known, even by people who know very little else of the Bible. But what should we make of it today? Is it just a fairy story that has no relevance to my life today?

Why am I so Tired?

Speaker: Rich Tutt

Date:

Have you ever felt like you can't keep up with the pace of life? Ever felt that there is just too much to do in too little time and you have too little energy to do it? Is your to-do-list constantly expanding despite your best efforts? Maybe you need some rest?

Why work?

Speaker: Jack Griffiths

Date:

Why do we work? Is it a necessary evil that we all have to do? In this sermon we are going to see what Genesis tells us about work and its place in our lives.

What are we here for?

Speaker: Al Pickering

Date:

Many people have no idea what their life is for. Many more are convinced that it's just what you make of it. If we have a designer, wouldn't it be great to hear what he says we're here for?

What does it mean to be human?

Speaker: Jeff Fletcher

Date:

How does the bible define the human race and what does true humanity look like? What implications does this have for how we view ourselves and how we view other people? Genesis 1 is a game-changing revelation for us all.
