“Bless” is a word often used and rarely defined. Therefore, we want to try to study some of God’s blessings in Genesis. At the beginning, God blesses creatures with the capacity to flourish— to be fruitful, to multiply, and to abound. Every time we see life spreading and thriving in creation, it’s a sign of God’s blessing at work. Humans were given an additional blessing: responsibility over the earth. God invited humanity to be partners in extending blessing everywhere. Sometimes humans get it wrong and the blessing is distorted. 

In this series, we’ll explore Genesis through the lens of blessing—what it means for us, and how we are called to live as participants in God’s blessing to the world. 

This week we talk about how the blessing is for everybody.

If you were to read through the Bible, you’d eventually reach the book of Revelation, where you encounter a strange world filled with images of swords, dragons, angels, bizarre beasts, and visions of the end of the world. Some have attempted to decipher a hidden code that will reveal secrets about the future. Others view it as a call to retreat from the world. But we believe it’s neither of these. Instead, Revelation serves as a wake-up call to radical discipleship in a broken world.

On Confirmation Sunday, we celebrate not only the students affirming their faith but also the calling for every believer, no matter their age, to live fully into their gifts and calling.

The message, based on 1 Timothy 4, emphasizes that spiritual maturity doesn’t happen overnight—it takes training, just like any skill or talent. Through personal stories of perseverance (in running, pole vaulting, and faith), Brian and Elijah illustrate that both physical and spiritual growth require intentional practice, discipline, and perseverance.

Life in biblical times was not easy. The Jewish people were longing for a Messiah—someone who would overthrow their Roman oppressors and restore the kingdom of Israel. On Palm Sunday, Jesus entered Jerusalem riding a donkey. Crowds welcomed Him like a king, laying down their cloaks and waving palm branches while shouting, “Save us!” Yet others stood by asking, “Who is this?”

Jesus came as the King who would usher in God’s kingdom on earth. But by Friday, He had been crucified. What happened to the King who arrived with such celebration?

Then, on Easter Sunday, the unthinkable happened—Jesus rose from the dead.

What does it all mean?

Today we talk about finding security in the resurrection.
