GOD’S JUSTICE
Genesis 6-7
(Reading: Genesis 6:5-22)
The downward spiral of sin continues! So God judges the world
He waited patiently in the days of Noah… and is patient now
BUT just like the Flood…
…the final day of judgment WILL come
(Preacher: Stephen Young)
With All Your Heart
Deuteronomy 6-11 (Reading: ch 6)
“Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul…”
(4:29, 6:5, 10:12, 11:13, 13:4, 26:16, 30:2,6,10)
Implications for Old Covenant Israel, as the LORD God brought them into the land of Canaan,

LIFE AND DEATH
Genesis 4-5
(Reading: Genesis 4)
Eve gives birth…
Is this the one who will crush the serpent’s head??
Unfortunately, not! The problem of sin spreads further…
– Cain murders his brother
– Lamech follows in Cain’s footsteps (4:23-24)
Eve gives birth again…
This time, her offspring begin to proclaim the name of the LORD (4:26)
(Preacher: Stephen Young)

(Reading:5:1-22)

A Political Promise We Can Turst?
2 Samuel 7
1. David wants to build a house for God (v1-7)
2. But God promises to build a house (dynasty) for David! (v8-17)
3. A quick look at David’s response (v18-29)
4. So how is this promise fulfilled?
(Preacher: Lawrence Claire)
DISASTER IN EDEN
Genesis 3
The pursuit of WISDOM, ironically, leads to the most FOOLISH act in human history…
• The serpent attacks God’s Word (v. 1)
• Eve doubts God’s Word (v. 2)
• Adam completely ignores God’s Word (v. 6)
But there’s HOPE…
• The serpent will be crushed (v. 15)
• God’s judgment is death… but Eve becomes the mother of the living (v. 20)
• A NEW Adam has come…
Preacher: Stephen Young
GOD’S MASTERPIECE: HUMANITY
Genesis 2:4-25
Chapter two zooms in on the garden…
…showing that we were created:
– in God’s image
– male and female
– to jointly rule over creation, and
– to enjoy the presence of God
But this chapter of Genesis also leaves hints that sin will soon break these things…
Preacher: Stephen Young
The LORD is God, there is no other
Deuteronomy 4:1-40 (Reading v23-40)
The Lord is God – there is no other v39
Listen to the Lord your God
(Preacher: Steve Blencowe)
