By: Pastor Ben Hulst

Genesis 17: After Genesis 16, where the lower plane of Abraham's life shows itself, God appears to Abraham in Genesis 17 and calls him to the higher plane again - to the purposes of heaven, not that of earth.

Sep 21, 2025Sermon: The Patriarch – The God Who Sees: Part 2By: Pastor Ben HulstSeries: Abraham: The PatriarchGenesis 16: In this messy story, we come to know the God who sees us, both in our suffering and in the suffering we bring to others. We can both identify with Hagar, but also must consider our patterns of Sarai. Only then are we truly honest before God and can find both his comfort when harmed, but also repentance when acting as the inflictor of harm. Both must draw us to Christ, who frees us in our sin and also in our hurts.

Sep 14, 2025Sermon: The Patriarch – The God Who Sees: Part 1By: Pastor Ben HulstSeries: Abraham: The PatriarchGenesis 16: This part of the Abraham story is not often dealt with. It highlights less than ideal attempt by Abram and Sarai to secure the promises of God. But in seeking this, they repeat the error of Genesis 3 when Eve and Adam grasped for the forbidden fruit. This is the pattern of life on our lower plane that continuously must be redeemed by God in his grace.

Aug 31, 2025Sermon: The Patriarch – As to Adam, so AbramBy: Pastor Ben HulstSeries: Abraham: The PatriarchGenesis 15.7-19: Wrapped up in Abram's story is the ongoing tension of promise, fulfillment, suffering, and hope for a future beyond death. These themes come into our life as well. The desire we have of a good life here, but also of an eternal life forever. We live this in tension, meanwhile struggling with the hardships of this life. Within that gap of promise and realization we learn to trust and to hope in the God that has brought our salvation.

Aug 17, 2025Sermon: The Patriarch – Believing the UnbelievableBy: Pastor Ben HulstSeries: Abraham: The PatriarchGenesis 15.1-6: We continue in our Abraham series and consider how the promises of God turn Abraham's life of negation into a life of abundance. This is the life of faith, but it takes trusting in God's sovereignty and goodness. This is the path of faith as we follow in the footsteps of Abraham, the father of faith.
