St Boniface Whipton - Sermons

Genesis 25:19-34, 27:1-40John talks to us about the very relatable story of two brothers, Jacob and Esau. The hurts caused by their parent's favouritism and competition between the brothers, but yet God's has a plan We see how through this far from perfect family - God's plan begins to take shape - reminding us that God has a plan for our lives and He promises it is a good one.

Gen 16:1-16, 17:1-7Steve explains the story of Hagar, the Egyptian slave in the household of Abram and Sarah.  How she was the least of the household and badly mistreated – but God saw her and rescued her.  This is the story of our God who sees us whatever our status or circumstances and rescues us when we turn to Him.

Genesis 12:1-9, 15:1-6Pippa looks at Abram's call, his choice to trust in God's word, and creating physical reminders of all that God has done in our lives.

Genesis 11:1-9Reading the account of the Tower of Babel and resultant confusion amongst the people - Carl draws out how pride and the underlying desire to run their lives without God resulted God having to intervene to avoid disaster. Applying that to our lives today - Carl encourages us to pause and reflect on who is in the driving seat of our lives and to commit those areas of our lives we have kept separate to God.

Genesis 3:1-24Lianne explains how the story unfolds of our rebellion against God. How we see the evidence today of a broken world but encourages us that we do not need to fear, God has paid the ultimate price to bring us back to peace with Him and eternal life.

Genesis  2:4-25 - God's perfect world in which man and woman lived in perfect harmony with God and everything was well and Adam and Eve knew what it was to be truly loved and have unbroken trust with God. An encouragement for us to allow God to show us that He is still the same God who can be trusted completely with everything in our lives.

Genesis 1:1-2:3Carl explains the creation story as it is told in the first two chapters in Genesis and goes through some of the big questions that are asked in relation to this account. He draws out the main points in the narrative of beginnings - God's purpose in creating the world and our purpose in God's world.
