Kristin and Brian unpack chapter 5 of Esther as she sets the table for a couple banquets for the king and Haman (boo!). In doing so, the stage is set for a request that could save her people or doom her to death.

Join Kristin and Brian for an intriguing and encouraging discussion around Esther 4.

Brian and Kristin discuss this very interesting and minimal (from a descriptive point of view) passage from Genesis and the Jacob story. This encounter with God is unique and we can pull so much from this story that is encouraging and helpful for our lives today.

We have God who is patient and meets us right in the middle of our mess to say, "I am still here. I am still working."

Brian and Kristin are back in the Zoom room to talk about what's been happening at Pursuit and continue their study in Genesis!

Brian and Kristin dive into Genesis 20 this week with insights, thoughts, and encouraging words about humanity's sin, how God uses imperfect and deeply flawed people, and God's immense grace and faithfulness. God is the ultimate keeper of promises, and we see that played out (again!) in this portion of the Abraham narrative.

Kristin and Brian dive deep into Genesis 19's Sodom and Gomorrah saga. This troubling and confusing passage of Scripture has been used as ammunition for several theological issues about God and his character. The pastors do their best to share what's going on and help us discover this passage's deeper and wider meaning without the foggy lenses of our Western eyes.

This is an incredible portion of the Abraham narrative in Genesis, and it would be easy to skip through it quickly into chapter 19. However, Pastors Brian and Kristin take some time to study these verses and unpack what is really going on in Abraham's and God's hearts.

Pastors Brian, Kristin, and Erin discuss Genesis 18:1-15 as they continue their discussion through the book of Genesis. Three visitors enter Abraham's camp and he offers them hospitality. He recognizes the Lord as one of the men, and Sarah overhears their conversation. The conversation then shifts towards Sarah and the Lord encourages her and reaffirms the promise that she will, herself, bear a child!
