Evil Targets the Image of God
Scripture References: Genesis 4:1-12, Matthew 5:21-22, Hebrews 11:4
From Series: "There is Still Hope"
In this series our pastors turn to the early chapters in Genesis where we will see the restless power of evil as it attempts to target God and his images, both individually and corporately. Thankfully, we will also see God respond, not by abandoning his creation, but by moving towards it with love and grace. Adam and Eve doubt God; God promises a deliver. One image of God kills another; God responds by continuing the human race. Humanity is consumed with building its own glory in Babel; God responds by choosing to bless the nations through Abraham rather than leave them to themselves. In every story there is a turn, a promise to us that there is still hope.
