For week one of our Setting the Cornerstone Capital Campaign, we’re learning about seeking Jesus’ presence. Colossians 3:1-4 shows us that the believer’s spiritual union with Jesus should drive them to seek his presence because their life is found in him.

We see many instances of new things in Scripture. New heaven, new earth, new name. Join us as Cornerstone Elder Marty Reed brings a message from Luke 5:33–6:11 about the fresh start and new life available through Jesus.

Millions of people from around the world travel to see the geyser “Old Faithful” each year. People are in awe over how constant and reliable it is. But if there’s anything that people should be in awe of, it’s God, who is the definition of constant and reliable. Genesis 11:10-32 shows us God’s faithfulness through generations–and this can help increase our awe of him and increase our confidence in what he’s doing in our own generation.

As absurd as it is for a child to attempt to take his parent’s place, it’s even more absurd for people to attempt to take God’s place. Yet that’s what happens at the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11:1-9. This passage has valuable lessons for us about people and about God–these lessons will help us rightly align our lives in relation to him.

When we come to genealogies in the Bible, we often lose sight of the fact that those people are not so different from us. They had the same dreams and grew up in the same world we grew up in. And the way that God regarded them then is the same way that he regards us now. Genesis 10:1-32 tells us about the people of the nations after Noah. How God regarded those people speaks to how he regards us, and we need to know it and live accordingly.
