From Creation to Restoration - Part 2

What if God's covenant with Abraham was more than a promise of descendants, land, and kings? What if it was part of His unfolding plan to restore mankind to the purpose established at creation?

In Part 2 of From Creation to Restoration, we explore how circumcision, the eighth day, Abraham's new name, and the coming of Messiah reveal a continuous divine purpose—from creation through covenant to restoration.

What God began, He will complete.

Sukkot: When the King Comes to Dwell With Us

The journey of Teshuva does not end with Yom Kippur.

In fact, Yom Kippur points us somewhere.

It points beyond repentance, beyond confession, beyond judgment, and beyond atonement—to the presence of the King.

That is where Sukkot takes us.

Teshuva of the King: Standing Before Him: The ...

This final week is shorter than our earlier seven-day cycles, bringing us to Yom Kippur. We will move through five themes: the seriousness of sin, God's provision of atonement, the Messiah's saving work, the humility of standing before God, and the continuing life of faithful return.

THE CALENDAR OF REDEMPTION

From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture tells the story of God reclaiming what belongs to Him.

And at the center of that story stands something most believers have never been taught to see clearly:

God’s calendar.

Seeing and Goodness - Part 2: Here Comes the Judge

In this second installment, we delve into God's divine 'judgment' as a manifestation of His deep love for creation. The act of 'seeing' and declaring 'good'-ness in Genesis 1 sets the stage for understanding Jesus as the compassionate judge, mirroring the divine pattern. Explore how 'good' in God's eyes doesn't mean perfection but purpose, aligning with His original intent. Join us on this journey of divine alignment, human potential for 'good'-ness, and the redemptive grace found in Jesus.

Read more to uncover the profound implications of God's judgments and humanity's enduring potential for goodness, despite the impact of sin.
