Noah: Salvation Belongs to the Lord | Genesis 6:8-22

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Genesis 6:8-22.
The story of Noah is not just about God’s judgment of sin; it is about God’s salvation of sinners. In Genesis 6, we see that while mankind could not fix what sin had broken, God Himself provided the only way of rescue, reminding us that salvation belongs to the Lord.
Big Idea: From heart transformation to final preservation, salvation belongs to the Lord.
Transformation Comes by God’s Grace Alone (8-12)
Deliverance Comes by God’s Provision Alone (13-16)
Preservation Comes by God’s Promise Alone (17-22)

Love Him More! | Luke 7:36-50

A sermon by Pastor Mike Trofimenko from Luke 7:36-50.
Why did a sinful woman love Jesus more deeply than a respected religious leader? In Luke 7:36–50, we see that those who truly grasp the depth of their forgiveness cannot remain cold toward Christ because forgiven sinners become passionate worshipers.
Big Idea: The extravagant love reveals a deep awareness of forgiven sin, which flows from saving faith in Christ.
The Love that Offends the Proud (36-39)
The Forgiveness the Proud do not Feel (40-47)
The Faith the Proud do not Possess (48-50)

When God Was Ready to End Humanity | Genesis 6:1-8

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Genesis 6:1-8.
Sin enters in Genesis 3, spreads in Genesis 4, and by Genesis 5, death reigns over all. When we arrive at Genesis 6, humanity has fallen so far that God grieves over His creation and is ready to bring judgment. How did things unravel so quickly, and what can we learn from it?
Big Idea: Though humanity deserved to be wiped out, God’s holy grief led not only to judgment, but to grace.
The Great Wickedness (1-5)
The Holy Grief (3, 6-7)
The Saving Favor (8)

Eternal Hope in the Grip of Death | Genesis 5:1-32

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Genesis 5:1-32.
When we’re young, we ignore death, but as we age, we spend our lives trying to outrun what we know is inevitable. Genesis 5 may look like a list of names, but it reveals a problem we cannot escape and a hope we cannot afford to miss.
Big Idea: Though death is certain because of sin, your hope beyond the grave is faith in God’s promises.
You Still Bear God’s Image in a Dying World (1-3)
You Cannot Escape the Reality of Death (3-20)
You Must Trust in God’s Promise for Hope Beyond Death (21-32)

Build Your Name or Call on His? | Genesis 4:17-26

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Genesis 4:17-26.
In Genesis 4:17–26, two family lines are set before us. These aren’t just records of ancient history; they reveal the pursuit that defines every human life.
Big Idea: In a fallen, self-indulgent world, don’t build your name but call on His name in faith.
Don’t Defy God’s Grace by Building Your Own Name (17-24)
Depend on God’s Grace by Calling on His Name (25-26)

Relating to God Outside the Garden | Genesis 4:1-16

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Genesis 4:1-16.
Genesis 4 continues the story of the fall by showing us what life looks like outside the Garden. Though humanity has lost paradise, people still approach God and offer worship. Yet this chapter confronts us with a sobering truth: not all worship is accepted.
Big Idea: Because we are sinners outside the garden, we must come to God on His terms and respond to Him on our knees.
Relate to God on His Terms (1-5)
Respond to God on Your Knees (6-16)

What to Do Since the Resurrection is True | Acts 17:30-31

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Acts 17:30-31.
Not all events in history carry the same impact or significance. There is, however, one event that stands above them all. Though it occurred at a specific time and place, it determines the destiny of every person who has ever lived.
Big Idea: Since the resurrection is true, judgment is due, and repentance is the way through.
Since the Resurrection is True, Judgment is Due (31)
Since Judgment is Due, Repentance is the Way Through (30)

We are Satisfied When God is Worshipped | John 4:1-42

A sermon by guest preacher Benjamin Schroeder from John 4:1-42.
Big Idea: We are satisfied when God is worshipped.
Are you thirsty?
Are you hungry?
Work in God’s harvest!

Mercy in the Garden | Genesis 3:8-24

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Genesis 3:8-24.
If all we see in Genesis 3 is misery, we’ve missed the point. In the middle of judgment, God’s mercy is on full display.
Big Idea: God responds to sinful humanity with unexpected mercy.
God’s Pursuit of Us (8-9)
God’s Promise to Us (14-15, 20)
God’s Provision for Us (21)
God’s Prohibition to Us (22-24)

Misery in the Garden | Genesis 3:7-19

A sermon by Pastor Tim Vusik from Genesis 3:7-19.
If God is good, why is there so much misery in every aspect of our lives? The answer takes us back to the rebellion of Genesis 3, where we learn that sin is far more serious than we often think.
Big Idea: Because of sin, God has subjected every part of human life to misery.
Misery in the Heart (7-13)
Misery in the Home (16-17)
Misery in the World (17-19)
