We aim to share the gospel message.
Each month, D/E Leon Shaw has a Letter from the heart to share an exhortation from the Word, and to offer encouraging words to uplift, inform, and support personal development and community minded compassion. Feel free to reach out today, and receive your monthly letter from the pastor’s heart. Thank you.
If you are looking for reading materials regarding relationship development, self-esteem building, overcoming debilitating fear, and living confidently, we have a great reading list available for your reference.
Whether there are youth concerns, family inquiries, and our couples work, we have exceptional reading resources that we can recommend for your journey. Check in today for your personalized message for reading materials.
We have thematic lessons for youth regarding specific books and topics. These lessons provide a foundation for biblical narratives, personal identification with choice and advocating potential outcomes based on free-will. If you check out certain lessons today, we can follow up by sending lesson materials and or checking in to see if there are follow up questions.
In the beginning, God created the heavens, the earth, its resources, and humanity. He created Adam and Eve to fellowship with him in paradise. God created humanity in his own image (Gen. 1-2).
The serpent deceived Eve to violate her instructions, and Adam chose to disobey God’s command. As such, they disbelieved that the Lord would perform what he instructed (Gen. 3:1-5).
When Adam and Eve disregarded their instructions, they refused to perform the instructions, and they ate of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. As such, their eyes were opened, and they no longer lived in innocence. Then, they became fearful and felt ashamed (Gen. 3:6-8).
God addresses the sin, or the choice to transgress his commandment. Adam and Eve do not take accountability for their actions. The Lord creates consequences for humanity. Then, Adam and Eve were put out of the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3:9-24).
God accepted Abel’s offering. Abel was faithful to the Lord (Gen. 4:1-7).
Cain despised his brother’s, Abel’s, sacrifice. And he came against his brother, and he slew his brother. Cain’s consequence was to roam as a fugitive (Gen. 4:8-12).
God monitored the actions of humanity. He had blessings for obedience and consequences for disobedience (Gen. 4-5:1-4).
