THE LINE OF SETH (Genesis 4:25 to 5:32)
Sunday Sep 03, 2023
Sunday Sep 03, 2023
The descendants of Seth are described in the Bible as the godly line. And as the world of the ungodly began to take shape right from the beginning, so did the world of the godly. God never leaves Himself without a witness, so from generation to generation, step-by-step with the generations of the wicked, the generations of the faithful to God flowed through the days before the flood.
As we study this line of Seth, there are only two things recorded, neither of which are recorded of the line of Cain. The first is that they lived. It is stated twice for most of them. The reason God doesn’t say that the Cainites lived is because, to God, they were “dead in trespasses and sin.” Yet for the line of Seth, the Scripture tells us that they lived, and Jesus tells us that they had life abundantly.
John 10:10
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
KJV
The second thing that is recorded of the Sethites is that they died. Once again, God did not record the death of the Cainites for heaven had no interest in their deaths. But for the Sethites, it is recorded that each one died and how old they were when they died. All that is except for Enoch, which is another story.
God said to Adam in Gen 2:17, “… For in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die,” and they all died who were the sons of Adam. But, on the other hand, it was a day of jubilee. As each man dies, God proves Satan a liar, for Satan had said “thou shalt not surely die.” Yet each man died. God took note of each death and recorded it. The death of each saint was a jubilee day in heaven.
Psalms 116:15
15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
KJV
Death for them was not the end, but the beginning.

GOD’S PLAN FOR REDEMPTION (Genesis 3:7-24)
The question that I really ask when I study about the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is, why didn’t God just smack Satan and stop all of pain and misery that he has caused? I would just love to have seen God just look at Satan and just say “Be Gone.” Well, first off, man would sin anyway, even without Satan. Satan just helps things along. Man will have this proven to him during the millennial reign of Christ when Satan is bound for a thousand years.
It took one man to undo the damage done by another man. Jesus, the second Adam, came to regain what the first Adam lost.
1 Corinthians 15:21-22
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
KJV
Jesus came as he did (born of a virgin) to be what he was—holy. If He had been the son of Adam with Adam’s nature, he would have been a sinner because in Adam all have sinned and died. He would also have been a slave, for the son of a slave is himself a slave. Jesus was what He was (holy) to do what He did—redeem us. He came as a sinless man, paying the full price for our transgression. He satisfied God’s righteous and holy law and nullified all of satan’s rights to Adam’s domain. Then, Jesus did what He did (redeem us) that we might have forgiveness, cleansing, a new nature, and Kingdom Authority. He is the head of a brand-new race.
Jesus was born of a virgin that we might be born again. Jesus became the Son of Man that we might become the sons and daughters of God. Jesus died in agony that we might live in victory.

HOW SIN EVOLVES (Genesis 3:1-6)
Sunday Jul 30, 2023
Sunday Jul 30, 2023
In today’s lesson we are going to move into chapter 3 of the book of Genesis, and we are going to see how Satan works in this world to destroy mankind. Make no mistake about it, that is Satan’s goal, the complete destruction of the creation that God loves the most. The Bible tells us that,
John 3:16
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
KJV
The word world as it used here means mankind. God loved us so much that He would send His Son to die on a cross for our sins. Satan knows this, and Satan wants to destroy anything that God loves, and so his goal is to totally corrupt and destroy the entire human race. He started this effort in the Garden of Eden.
Now, it is important that you know that Satan is a decided fact, that Satan is a destructive force, and thank God, that Satan is a defeated foe. You need to learn about the devil. You dare not be ignorant about the devil and his devices. And he’s done all that he can do to pull the veil of darkness across his kingdom so that you will not understand. But I want us to see, as we look today in this scripture, what I call “How Sin Evolves in your life.”
Click on the play button above to hear a message on how Satan’s method to destroy man is the lie. Satan is the biggest liar, and he tells lies about the biggest subject, God Almighty.

A TALE OF TWO TREES (Genesis 2:15-17)
In today’s lesson we are going to be talking about a couple of very important trees that God has given to mankind.
For the first tree, God had created man, and He placed man there in the beautiful Garden of Eden and gave him absolutely everything he needed for indescribable happiness and for joy and fulfillment. But in order that man might have a will—and a free will—God gave him the moral opportunity of a choice. And so, God created a tree and planted that tree in the Garden of Eden. It was called “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,” and man was absolutely forbidden to eat the fruit of that tree. That was the first tree.
For the second tree, we have Calvary’s tree, which is a tree of life. Now, don’t be confused, this is not the tree of life that was also placed in the Garden of Eden, but it is “The” tree of life. The tree of eternal life. The tree that Christ died for our sins on. when you see the cross, and when you see what it did to Jesus, and when you see the wrath of God being poured out, there you have a knowledge of evil. That tree, Calvary’s tree, was a tree of the knowledge of evil, but it was also a tree of the knowledge of good. When you see the cross, when you see Calvary’s cross, there and there alone do you behold the goodness of God, the glory of God, the grace of God, the righteousness of God, the majesty of God—the glory of God—as you’ve never beheld it before, by beholding the cross.
Click on the play button above to hear a message on the two trees that God has given man. Trees that give the knowledge of good and evil. With the first tree we see the sinfulness of man, and with the second tree we receive the wonderful grace of God.

A MARRIAGE MADE IN HEAVEN (Genesis 2:18-25)

A MARRIAGE MADE IN HEAVEN (Genesis 2:18-25)
The message that I am going to teach today, will be called “Old Fashioned,” or “out-of-touch,” by many today. I understand that, and I really had to question whether I wanted to teach it or not, but I believe we live in a time when God’s plan for marriage has been put aside and forgotten. Now, I want you to understand that I know that many people are in marriages that are nothing close to this, or they are now single parents, but this lesson is about what God teaches us that His plan for marriage was when He created it. God created marriage for man. It is man that has corrupted this plan to what it is today. So, I thought it important that we reset the standard of what a marriage is supposed to be, when it is the way that God planned it.
Now, if you’re married, you have a potential of great, great wealth—and I don’t mean financial wealth. I mean you can be a marriage millionaire if you understand the value there is in a true, true marriage, based on God’s intent for marriage. Don’t be like the man who used to run his wedding movies backwards so he could see himself walking out of the church a free man. Let me tell you that there is a wonderful, wonderful, value in this thing called marriage, properly understood.
Click on the play button above to hear a message about God’s plan for marriage. I want to tell you that all true marriages are made in heaven. Marriage did not come from the swamps of evolution. It is not the product of societal folkways and mores. Marriage is the most basic instinct in the heart and mind of human beings.

GOD’S COVENANTS WITH MAN (Genesis 2:15-17)
When God created man, He blessed man with the perfect spot to live, the perfect job, and the perfect mate. So, what is there that could be missing? Well, the next thing I want us to realize about Adam and Eve as God placed them in the Garden of Eden is the relationship that God gave them with Him. Adam enjoyed a relationship with God that we only partially see now as a Christian through the blood of Jesus Christ.
I believe that we will see the fulfillment of this relationship when we go to be with the Lord, and we are perfected. In some ways, I believe our relationship will even be better than the one Adam had with God. Actually, it will be the relationship that Adam could have had if he had obeyed God. I also believe that the covenants that God has established with man, from the Old Testament through the New Testament have been a progression toward obtaining that perfect relationship with God.
Generally speaking, God’s relationship to man has always been based on a covenant. The New Testament is actually a New Covenant which God has made, and it is in contrast to the Old Covenant of the Old Testament.

A CHURCH WITH DOMINION (Genesis 1:26)
Sunday Jun 25, 2023
Sunday Jun 25, 2023
Today, I want to talk about how man lost the dominion that was given to him by God, how it was restored, and how it now rests with the church. Today, I want to talk to you about a church of conquest—a church with dominion. God’s plan for LifeChange Church is that we move forward, not backward. God’s plan for you is that you be victorious day by day.
When God made Adam and Eve, He made them king and queen of His domain, and God gave them rule.
Ps 8:6
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
KJV
That was God’s plan. That’s why God made man. Man was designed for dominion. He was made for mastery. Do you think that is true today? Well, I think it would be hard to say that it is, when we read the headlines and see the rape, the murder, the war, the riots, the famine, the disaster, the heartache, the tears, the fears, and the failures of mankind. Man, given dominion, has lost that dominion.
Click on the link below to hear a message that looks at how Adam lost the dominion that was given to him by God, and how our dear Lord has bought it back for us and given it to this wonderful church—to LifeChange church, and to every Bible-believing church—and to every Spirit-filled Christian, that we might live and walk in victory.

IS MAN JUST A CLEVER ANIMAL? (Genesis 1:27-30)
Today’s message is about the supreme question that divides the secular world that believes in evolution, and those who believe in the creation of all things by God. The Bible tells us that on the sixth day, God created the man and the beasts of the field. Now, that means that there must be a relationship between the two. Today, I want to look at that relationship and answer the question, Is Man Just a Clever Animal?
When we stop and compare men and the animals, we can see a similarity in design, a similarity in diet, a similarity in death. Now, we need to recognize the similarities between man and the animals, but I also want you to see the differences between men and animals.
Not only does man have a craving for Deity, and not only does man have a capability for dominion, but man also has a capacity for depravity that animals don’t have. Animals cannot sin, but on the other hand, animals can’t love God. In order for men to love God, they have to have the capacity, or the capability, to sin. God gave man that ability. You ask, “How could men sin if God made everything perfect?” Well, when God made man, God made him with the capacity to choose. And God had to make him with the capacity to choose. If he didn’t have the capacity to choose, he wouldn’t be a man.
But, most importantly, man has a conception of his destiny. He has a comprehension of the fact that he is going to die. But he knows that doesn’t end it all. You cannot crawl up in the grave and pull the dirt over your face and hide from God. When God made you, God made you in His image. God breathed into your nostrils the breath of life. You could no more cease to exist than God Himself could cease to exist. You’re going to exist somewhere—dateless, timeless, endless, measureless. Your soul is worth more than all of the stocks, the bonds, the gold, the silver, the schools, the railroads put together.
Animals are not going to live forever. When an animal dies, he’s dead. There was a time when you were not, but there never again will be a time when you shall not be. You were created in the image of God. God says something about man that He doesn’t say about the animals. The Bible says that He made the animals, but He created you. He took animals and made them out of preexisting stuff, but God did a unique creation when He made you, and you are made in His image, and man has a concern for his destiny. I hope you have a concern for your destiny as well.

WHAT A MIGHTY GOD (Genesis 1:1)
In today’s message, I want to spend time settling the question of who God is and does He exist. For you see, if you believe in God, then all of the questions you have about the Creation are answered. If you do not believe in God, then you will never have the answers to your questions about how this universe came in to being.
Have you ever thought about the fact that the Bible just presents God? There He is in the very first verse of the Bible, “In the beginning God.” He is simply presented. The fact of God is never explained in the Bible. The existence of God is never argued in the Bible. The Bible does not try to teach against atheism. God is simply presented. Now God, therefore, must be accepted by faith. Sometimes a skeptic will come and say to you, “Prove there is a God.” Don’t try, because you can’t prove that God exists, for the finite can never prove the infinite. But not to worry. After he says, “Prove that God exists,” you say simply with a smile on your face and much confidence in your heart, “I can’t. Now, sir, will you prove that God does not exist?” And he can’t do that either.
If a person does not believe in God, it is not that he cannot believe; it is that he will not believe. He chooses not to believe. All people are believers. Some believe there is a God; some believe there is no God.
The Bible says that “In the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth.” He’s presented. Now, in the beginning God did what? He created, and what mighty power is seen in His creation! Only God has creative power.
Click on the play button to hear a message on why the almighty God created all things. He did it for His pleasure. He did it for His praise, and He did for you. This is our mighty God. He loves you and He wants to save you and give you everlasting life.

ARE YOU RUNNING THE RACE? (Hebrews 12:1-2)

ARE YOU RUNNING THE RACE? (Hebrews 12:1-2)
When you think of an athlete who is a runner on a track team, what do you think about? Dedication, training, conditioning, and a sense of complete focus on being prepared to run the race. Then, when that person is running a race, they are singularly focused on completing that race to the best of their ability, right? Imagine that there is a young man who is getting set in the starting blocks. Every muscle is tense in anticipation of the start. The starting gun goes off and he explodes out of the starting blocks. He’s looking straight ahead with complete, total concentration. Every inch, every ounce, every nerve, every fiber, he’s pressing to the goal. He stays in his lane. He’s not moving to the right. He’s not moving to the left, and in this example, he is not running against anybody else. He’s running against himself. He’s running against the clock, and he’s headed toward the finish line.
But, in this life, if you are a child of God, then you are in the race. I don’t care how old you are. I don’t care how feeble you are. I don’t care how rich, or how poor, you are. There is a race for you to run, and God wants you to run that race like a champion.
The truth is that most of the people in our churches today are not active soul winners. That’s tragic. You say, “But, I give my money.” I don’t care how much money you give, if you’re not endeavoring to bring souls to Christ, then you are not right with God. You say, “Well, I teach.” I don’t care how eloquently you teach, if you’re not trying to bring souls to Jesus, then you’re not right with God. You say, “Well, I attend faithfully.” I don’t care how much you attend, if you’re not trying to bring souls to Jesus Christ, then you are not right with God. Well, you say, “I live a clean, moral life.” I don’t care how circumspectly you walk, if you’re not endeavoring to bring souls to Jesus Christ, then you are not right with God. Andrew Murray said, “There are two classes of Christians: soul winners and backsliders.” You’re one or the other.
