Cain and Abel is really about Cain's disobedience and Cain's response after he sinned. And through all of that, we are reminded to not be like Cain.

Genesis 3 gives us a pattern for what temptation is like. It also reminds us of how devastating sin is. But in the middle of brokenness, this is also a chapter that is full of hope.
Pastor Kevin Craft
Hearing about the faithfulness of missionaries encourages us to be faithful in our life and be mindful of missions.
This session focuses on William Carey, Adoniram Judson, and John Paton.
Pastor Kevin Craft
What does it mean to be a human? What does it mean to be a man or a woman? Genesis 1-2 gives us the framework for how and why God created us.
Pastor Kevin Craft
How did the Apostle John tell the church to support missionaries?
Pastor Kevin Craft
Why did God rest? It wasn't because He had to, it was to set a pattern for us physically and spiritually.
Pastor Kevin Craft
No matter the town, Paul was always trying to make disciples and strengthen the churches.
Pastor Kevin Craft
How does science and the Bible fit together? That is a question often at the forefront of Genesis 1. So what does the Bible say on the topics of evolution, the age of the earth, and the historicity of Adam?
Pastor Kevin Craft
What was Paul preaching on his missionary journey? His sermon in Antioch gives us the content of the gospel that he preached. And we see how God worked in the aftermath.
Pastor Kevin Craft
Genesis 1 doesn't just tell us that God created, it tells us why God created. There is a purpose in the beginning, and that purpose drives the rest of history.
Pastor Kevin Craft
The start of Paul's journey sees the church send him out, and extending the gospel in an area that has already heard.
Pastor Kevin Craft
If Jesus has all authority, then all the nations need to hear that He is Lord, and so He sends us out on the mission to make disciples.
Pastor Kevin Craft
The Bible gives us a description about the character of Deacons, it also gives us an example of how Deacons serve the Church.
Pastor Kevin Craft
Why is there a need for missions? To answer that question, you really have to look at the storyline of the Bible to see our need and how God is able to save.
Also, a tangent topic: What if people never hear the gospel - can they be saved? What about young children who might not have the capacity to believe yet?
Pastor Kevin Craft
How do you know when you have actually made a disciple? 2 Timothy 2:2 reminds us that disciples are able to reproduce and help others grow in their faith. That is what we want to aim for in making disciples, and when that happens, then the church will also be multiplying leaders.
Pastor Kevin Craft
How we define missions is important. Not because we want to downplay local outreach and evangelism, but because we want to remember that Jesus said to make disciples of all nations.
Pastor Kevin Craft
How does Jesus tell us to make disciples? We must teach if people are going to become disciples and grow as disciples. And specifically, we must teach the commands of Jesus.
Pastor Kevin Craft
The glory of God is at the center of the Bible. God deserves glory, but we fall short of displaying His glory and honoring Him. That's why we go and proclaim the gospel - because it is how we are saved, and it is how God gets the glory.
Pastor Kevin Craft
The mission of the church is the Great Commission - go and make disciples of all nations. Who is it that sends missionaries to go and make disciples in other nations? Acts 13 gives us the example: God uses the local church to send out missionaries.
Guest Preacher Josh Koenig
How is a church able to be hospitable to guests and minister to unbelievers while also standing firm in the faith?
