This is an incredible week 17 in this series. What it looks like, if you are a church person, you've been in church on a long time, the idea is to maybe take a fresh look, a different spin on some of these, and get to see them in a new way, a way that the idea being that God's scripture is limitlessly truthful, and the idea to maybe change the way we look at it, to see a new way of what God has to say to us. Today, it's an interesting sermon, or it's an interesting passage, because it's gonna kind of sum up something that's been going on throughout Genesis, something that's actually gonna go on throughout the Old Testament, and then is gonna continue into the New Testament, and actually continues into our lives today in the church.

I'm 37, and I think about from the time that I was basically conscious, somewhere in the mid 80s, to the present day, and I'm from Mission Viejo, Orange County, grew up here. I did leave for a while, did some things and I came back, but I've spent most of my life right here. In fact, most of it in this church.
