The Story of Scripture | Day 9
🌊 “Judgment and Salvation” (Genesis 7)

Genesis 7 brings us to the moment the story has been moving toward—the rain begins, the ark is sealed, and God’s word is fulfilled. In this episode, we walked through the flood narrative and saw that it reveals both the holiness and the mercy of God. Judgment is real, serious, and total—but it is never separated from God’s purpose to save.

The flood shows us that God takes sin seriously because He takes His creation seriously. The waters rise not as an impulsive act, but as a measured response to corruption that has reached its limit. Yet woven throughout Genesis 7 is mercy. Before judgment falls, God provides a way of salvation. The ark stands as a tangible reminder that God never judges without also making a way to preserve life.

One of the most powerful moments in the chapter is when Scripture tells us that the Lord shut Noah in. Salvation is not secured by human effort or strength, but by God’s hand. Those who trusted God’s word were carried safely through the storm—not around it, but through it.

This episode reminds us that judgment and salvation are not competing themes in Scripture. They move together. A holy God must judge sin, and a merciful God provides refuge for those who trust Him. The flood teaches us that faith is not waiting for the storm to arrive—it is trusting God before it comes.

💡 Big Truth:
God’s judgment is real, but His mercy is greater for those who take refuge in what He provides.

Lord, Teach Us to Pray | Episode 2

What is prayer… really?
Not a script.
Not a performance.
Not a one-way monologue.

In Episode 2, we explored prayer as communion, conversation, and closeness with God. Prayer is where relationship is formed—not just requests made.

📖 Key Scriptures:
• “Pour out your heart before Him…” — Psalm 62:8
• “If you abide in Me…” — John 15:7
• “Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

💡 Big Truth:
Prayer doesn’t just change circumstances—it shapes the heart.
Prayer is not about talking at God…
It’s about abiding with Him.

If you’ve ever struggled to pray, felt unsure what to say, or wondered if God was listening—this episode is for you. Prayer is not perfection; it’s presence.

🎧 Catch the episode now and continue the journey toward deeper relationship with the Father.

🛠️ The Story of Scripture — Day 8
📖 A Righteous Man Obeys
Genesis 6:9–22

In a world overwhelmed by corruption, Noah walked a different path.
He listened when God spoke.
He trusted when the command seemed unreasonable.
And he obeyed before he understood.

Noah didn’t wait for proof.
He didn’t demand clarity.
He trusted God’s Word—step by faithful step. 🙏

💡 Big Truth from the Story of Scripture:
Obedience is the fruit of grace.
Faith moves forward even when the outcome isn’t visible.

God often calls His people to obey before the rain falls…
before the storm comes…
before the reason makes sense.

📌 Stay with us as The Story of Scripture continues and we learn what it looks like to trust God fully—especially when obedience feels costly.

And He extended grace.

Grace didn’t begin with human effort.
✨ Grace began with God’s mercy.

💡 Big Truth from the Story of Scripture:
Grace always comes before obedience.
Judgment may be necessary, but mercy is never absent.

✨ Episode 1 Recap — Lord, Why Should We Pray? ✨

🙏 Prayer was never meant to be a ritual to repeat or a performance to perfect.
Jesus shows us that prayer is an invitation into a relationship with the Father.

In Episode 1 of Lord, Teach Us to Pray, we look at why the disciples didn’t ask Jesus how to pray—but why. From Luke 11:1, Matthew 6:5–8, and Philippians 4:6–7, we’re reminded of a powerful truth:

➡️ Prayer doesn’t inform God—it forms us.

📖 God already knows our needs.
❤️ Prayer shapes our hearts to trust Him.
🕊️ Prayer replaces anxiety with peace.

When prayer becomes relational instead of routine, it moves from obligation to overflow. If prayer has ever felt dry, distant, or duty-driven, this episode will encourage you to see prayer not as something you do—but as a place where you meet God.

🎧 Take a few minutes to listen and rediscover prayer as it was meant to be:
a conversation rooted in trust, intimacy, and dependence on the Father.

📖 Story of Scripture — Day 6
“Walking with God in a Fallen World”
Genesis 5 (ESV)

Genesis 5 unfolds in a world marked by sin and death, a repeated reminder that the consequences of the fall are real and inescapable. Generation after generation is listed, each ending with the same sobering refrain: “and he died.” Yet in the middle of that pattern, one life stands out.

Enoch walked with God.

While the world around him moved steadily toward death, Enoch lived by faith, demonstrating that closeness with God is possible even in a fallen world. His life reminds us that faithfulness is not determined by our surroundings, but by our daily walk with the Lord. Darkness may be widespread, but devotion still shines.

As The Story of Scripture continues, Genesis 5 teaches us that even when death dominates the storyline, God honors those who walk with Him in faithful obedience.

✨ Reflection: What would it look like for you to walk closely with God in the middle of today’s broken world?

📖 Story of Scripture — Day 5
“Sin Spreads”
Genesis 4 (ESV)

Genesis 4 shows us how quickly sin grows when it is left unchecked. What begins as jealousy in Cain’s heart soon turns into anger, then violence, and finally the first murder. Worship is distorted. Relationships are shattered. The first family is fractured by sin’s destructive power.

Yet even here, God’s mercy is present.

Before Cain acts, God warns him that sin is crouching at the door, calling him to rule over it rather than be ruled by it. And after the tragedy, God restrains evil, showing that judgment is never separated from His patience. Sin spreads—but God’s voice still calls people to repentance.

As The Story of Scripture continues, we are reminded that sin always multiplies when ignored, but God continually intervenes, warns, and pursues hearts with grace.

✨ Reflection: What “small” sin might God be warning you to confront before it grows?

📖 Story of Scripture — Day 4
“When Sin Entered the Story”
Genesis 3 (ESV)

Genesis 3 marks a heartbreaking turn in the story. What God created as good is fractured by sin. Trust is broken. Intimacy is lost. Obedience gives way to rebellion. The consequences are real—and they touch every part of life.

Yet even here, hope is not absent.

In the midst of judgment, God speaks a promise—a coming Redeemer who will one day crush the serpent and restore what was broken. From the very moment sin enters the world, grace enters the story too.

As we continue The Story of Scripture, we are reminded that the Bible is not just the story of humanity’s fall, but of God’s relentless pursuit to redeem.

✨ Reflection: How does knowing that God promised redemption even at the fall give you hope today?
