It rained at least "forty days and forty nights," but Noah's flood was far from over after 40 days. In Genesis 8, the author describes Noah waiting for waters to recede and dry land to appear. In this passage, we learn...
How we know Noah's flood was a global - not local - flood event
What does it mean that God "remembered" Noah? Had he somehow forgotten?
The total amount of time Noah and his family spent on the ark
The significance of Noah sending out a raven and dove
Noah's first act upon setting foot on dry land
What Noah's sacrifice means for us today

Noah’s Flood (Genesis 6-7)

Wednesday Jan 03, 2024

Wednesday Jan 03, 2024

Natural disasters like fires, floods, and earthquakes occur somewhere on the earth every day. The largest disaster in history is described for us in Genesis 6-8. This flood was so widespread its effects are visible in geology around the globe, and most ancient civilizations have their own flood legends. In this study, we discuss...
Why early humans lived so long before the flood -- some almost a thousand years!
God's holiness and the spiritual darkness of the world in Noah's day
My visit to the "Ark Encounter" in Williamstown, Kentucky
How the ark was perfectly suited as a life boat for humans and animals

Crouching at the Door (Genesis 4)

Wednesday Dec 27, 2023

Wednesday Dec 27, 2023

Within one generation, Adam & Eve's sin led to a downward spiral of human envy, deceit, hatred, and the murder of one of their sons. Last Sunday, our Bible Study looked at Genesis 4 together. It was definitely an unusual Christmas Eve passage, but such evil and injustice actually remind us why Christ came into our world. In this passage, we discussed...
Christmas carols with a darker tone
Why did the LORD accept Abel's sacrifice and not Cain's?
How the New Testament authors point to Cain as a warning
What to do when you sense sin "crouching at the door"
How God showed mercy in spite of Cain's cold-blooded act

Satan's deadly tactics and how to avoid them
Some of the lies Satan and culture still speak

Wayne Grudem says, "Out of all the creatures God made, only one creature, man, is said to be made 'in the image of God.'" What does it mean to be made in God's image? What sets us apart from the animals and the rest of God's creation? In this lecture, we discuss:
The nature of Genesis as history
The many facets of being made in God's image
This doctrine does not teach God has a physical form
Some helpful illustrations of the image of God
How Adam was actually the first scientist
A surprising hierarchy of authority found in our universe
Thanks for listening. This is week six in a 9-week study called, "Is Genesis History?" For more information about Immanuel Baptist Church, please visit our website. For more info and a link to the full length documentary, "Is Genesis History?" please click here.

Six key doctrines spelled out in Genesis 1-11
How the universe is distinct from, yet dependent on God

"O Lord, what a variety of things you have made! In wisdom you have made them all" (Psalm 104:24 NLT).

Genesis Class - Week 1

Thursday Apr 06, 2023

Thursday Apr 06, 2023

The Book of Genesis teaches that God created the world in six days. How then do we respond to scientists, textbooks, and museums that tell us the universe is billions of years old? Today we begin a new study looking at both biblical and scientific evidence for a young earth, the importance of Noah’s flood, and how to talk with those who still favor evolution. In this opening talk, we...
Look together at the opening verses of Genesis
Consider an important prophecy about the last days in 2 Peter 3
Discuss the purpose and format of this class
See how even godly Christians differ on the topic
Share an overview of geology that will provide a framework
After these opening comments, we watched the first 30 minutes of Is Genesis History? produced by Compass video and hosted by Del Tackett. You can watch this video on major streaming services or purchase on DVD or download. It is an excellent documentary on scientific evidence that supports the biblical record of history. Highly recommended for every Christian.
