    Genesis 38 – The Detour That Led to Jesus
    Apr 27 2025
    Genesis 38 shows us that even in the messiest, most unexpected parts of life, God is still at work. The story of Judah and Tamar is raw, uncomfortable, and often skipped—but it reminds us that God uses broken people and strange detours to accomplish his purposes. Judah’s rejection, Tamar’s boldness, and the sinful choices of both are not beyond God’s reach. In fact, this bizarre chapter is a key link in the genealogy of Jesus Christ. God works through the The post Genesis 38 – The Detour That Led to Jesus appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.

    Luke 23:32-43 – A Conversation On The Cross
    Apr 20 2025
    One conversation can change everything. In Luke 23, a dying criminal has a life-altering exchange with Jesus while hanging on a cross. This message walks through that powerful conversation and the shocking promise: “Today you will be with me in paradise.” We’re reminded that salvation isn’t about earning our way to heaven—it’s about trusting the One with the authority to offer it. Whether you’re someone who’s wandered or someone who’s never believed, Jesus is still extending grace today.

  • Genesis 35-36 – Two Roads To A King

    Genesis 35-36 – Two Roads To A King
    Apr 13 2025
    We often gravitate toward the flashiest option, but the story of Jesus’ triumphal entry challenges us to think differently. In Genesis 35–36, we see two lines: one from Jacob, whose kings would come slowly but endure, and one from Esau, whose kings came quickly but faded. Jesus, the true King, comes from Jacob’s line. Not with military might, but humbly riding on a donkey. Will we follow the fast and flashy kingdom, or the humble King who brings lasting peace?

  • Genesis 34 – Worldly Influences, Worldly Results

    Genesis 34 – Worldly Influences, Worldly Results
    Apr 7 2025
    Genesis 34 is a powerful and painful reminder of what happens when worldly influences creep into our lives through spiritual “cracks.” Through the story of Dinah, Shechem, and Jacob’s sons, we see the destructive results of loving the world, giving in to fleshly desires, uncontrolled anger, fear, and trying to earn God’s favor through works. Pastor Kyle unpacks these themes and points to the only true solution: a heart transformed by Jesus Christ. Jesus came for spiritually cracked people—and instead The post Genesis 34 – Worldly Influences, Worldly Results appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.

    Genesis 32:9-12 – A Desperate Prayer
    Mar 30 2025
    When Jacob found himself caught between an angry uncle and a furious brother, he turned to God in prayer. Though he wasn’t known for being deeply devout, Jacob gave us a powerful example of how to pray when life feels overwhelming. He approached God humbly, reminded Him of His promises, and trusted in the covenant God had made. In the same way, we can come boldly to God—not because we’ve earned it, but because Jesus made a way.

    Genesis 32 – Strength In Weakness
    Mar 23 2025
    Genesis 32 captures Jacob at a turning point—facing fear, clinging to self-reliance, and ultimately wrestling with God. Throughout the chapter, we see Jacob swing between faith and fear, confidence and control. But in the end, God meets him in his weakness, wounds him, and renames him. The limp Jacob receives becomes a symbol of spiritual strength—a reminder that God’s power is made perfect not in our strength, but in our surrender.

    Genesis 29 – The Greatest Wedding Prank Ever
    Mar 16 2025
    Continuing our Genesis series, we explored Genesis 29, where Jacob, fleeing from his brother, arrives at his destination and falls for Rachel. But instead of a love story without complications, Jacob is deceived into marrying Leah first, showing that the trickster has met his match in Uncle Laban. Yet, even in this mess of deception and polygamy, God is at work. He uses Leah, the overlooked sister, to continue the lineage of Jesus through Judah, showing that God loves and The post Genesis 29 – The Greatest Wedding Prank Ever appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.

    Genesis 28 – Jacob’s Ladder
    Mar 9 2025
    We’ve returned to our Genesis series, diving into Genesis 28, where Jacob, fleeing from his brother Esau, has a significant dream about a ladder reaching to heaven. This vision isn’t just about Jacob—it’s a powerful symbol pointing to Jesus as the true connection between God and man. While the people of Babel tried to build their own way to heaven, Jacob’s dream reveals that God is the one who comes down to us. Jesus confirms this in John 1:51, saying The post Genesis 28 – Jacob’s Ladder appeared first on Island Pond Baptist Church.
