Adam to Noah

Genealogies in Genesis reveal patterns—and powerful truths when those patterns break. Enoch, unlike others, didn’t die but was taken by God. His life contrasts Cain’s Enoch, who built a city in defiance. One sought heaven, the other settled for ea...

Curse laid upon both Adam and Eve

Plans often unravel, leaving us frustrated by life’s chaos. But this brokenness wasn’t God’s design—it’s the result of humanity’s choice to sin. Pain in work, childbirth, and daily struggle stems from the curse. Instead of anger, turn to God for s...

The first animal offered to cover the sins of humanity

The first sacrifice came when God clothed Adam and Eve with animal skins, hinting at death to cover sin. Yet only Christ’s perfect sacrifice truly redeems. From Eden to the cross, blood was spilled so ours wouldn’t be. His worth surpasses all offe...

Tree of life

After God's perfect creation

First thing God does in creation

In Genesis 1:3–10, God begins creation by setting boundaries—light from dark, sea from land. Nothing escapes His control. Even suffering is limited by His love. Acts 17:26 affirms He sets our life’s borders. In every trial, we find comfort knowing...

Key Passage: Genesis 1:3-10

Devotional 3

Day of rest

After six days of creation, God rested—not from weariness, but to delight in His finished work. In contrast, we live in constant toil, striving to prove our worth. Yet Jesus ended that pursuit on the cross, declaring “It is finished.” Now, true re...
