Genesis, Sovereignty of God Ben Smith Genesis, Sovereignty of God Ben Smith

God of All Nations, Genesis 10

Genesis 10 may seem like a chapter that can be passed over quickly, but it bears profound witness to the sovereignty of God. The nations of the earth are neither random nor outside His rule. Behind every family line, every people group, and every generation stands the God who created all things and governs history according to His will.

In “God of All Nations,” we are reminded that human power is fleeting, but God’s purposes never fail. The same God who governed the nations in Genesis is still accomplishing His redemptive will today, and in Christ He has made salvation known to people from every tribe, tongue, and nation.

Saved by His Resurrection, 1 Peter 3:18–22

When the world appears strong and the church appears weak, it can be difficult to see how God is working. Yet Scripture reminds us that what looks like defeat is often the very place of God’s victory.

In this message from 1 Peter 3:18–22, we are called to fix our eyes on the risen Christ. His suffering accomplished our salvation, His proclamation declared His triumph, and His resurrection assures us that He reigns now and forever.

Ransomed by His Blood, 1 Peter 1:17–21

What does it mean to be ransomed by God? In 1 Peter 1:17–21, we are reminded that our redemption was not purchased with silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ. This truth reshapes how we live, how we hope, and how we approach God.

Because the ransom has been paid, believers can live with confidence—not in themselves, but in the finished work of Christ, the eternal will of God, and the hope secured through the resurrection.

Righteously Responding to Sin, Genesis 9:18–29

How you respond to sin reveals your heart toward God. Genesis 9:18–29 shows that even the most faithful can fall, but the greater issue is how we respond when sin is exposed.

This sermon calls believers to recognize the danger and shame of sin while resting in the grace that sustains and preserves God’s people.

Sovereign grace, Treasure Ben Smith Sovereign grace, Treasure Ben Smith

True Treasure, Genesis 25:19-34

The testimony of scripture is not of perfect people accomplishing God's purposes. Instead, the story of scripture is of a perfect God using imperfect people to accomplish His perfect will.

The testimony of Jacob is complicated. On the one hand, Jacob's story is not easily celebrated. He is not a man of strength in character or physical ability. He is a schemer, manipulator, and liar. On the other hand, he is very significant because God demonstrates the character of His sovereign grace in choosing him over his brother. With this generation, we learn an essential truth about the promise of God. God's blessing and promise will not go to those whom man's customs, traditions, or desires dictate but to whom God so chooses.
