About the Sermon

A fear of forgottenness hangs over each of our lives. Imagine getting a midnight order to move to another land, never to see your family again. A sense of forgottenness would be a problem for you at that moment. If we wonder how hard-wired this fear is, consider how hard we try to be noticed, to be liked, to be popular, and how much we make of celebrities that seem to be remembered everywhere by everyone. Joseph was forgotten, and so were many others on salvation’s storied path through Scripture. What is God doing through it?

About the Series

Why did God make the world? Why did he make you and me? What went wrong with us and how bad is it, really? Crucially, is there any hope for us? In the story of Genesis, the Bible’s first book, we discover bad news, and yet so much good news. The God who made us is determined to bless us. His purpose to bless humanity will be channeled through his promise to Abraham and his family. The book of Genesis is the beginning of the Scripture and it is the beginning of our story.
