Genesis 32:22-30 (sermon note: 09-24 sermon note) The same night he got up and took his two wives, his two maids, and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok. He took them and sent them across the stream, and likewise everything that he had. Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he struck him on the hip socket; and Jacob’s hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him. Then he said, ‘Let me go, for the day is breaking.’ But Jacob said, ‘I will not [...]

Genesis 2:4b-25 (sermon note: 09-10 sermon note) In the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens, when no plant of the field was yet in the earth and no herb of the field had yet sprung up—for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was no one to till the ground; but a stream would rise from the earth, and water the whole face of the ground— then the Lord God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being. fAnd [...]

Acts 2:1-18 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them [...]

Genesis 1:1-5 In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our opening verses of Genesis give us the beginning of God’s ordered creation, starting with the creation of [...]

Ecclesiastes 1:1-11; 3:1-17 The words of the Teacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. Vanity of vanities, says the Teacher,    vanity of vanities! All is vanity. What do people gain from all the toil    at which they toil under the sun? A generation goes, and a generation comes,    but the earth remains forever. The sun rises and the sun goes down,    and hurries to the place where it rises. The wind blows to the south,    and goes round to the north; round and round goes the wind,    and on its circuits the wind returns. All streams run to the sea,    but the sea is not full; [...]

Proverbs 8:1-11, 22-36 Does not wisdom call,    and does not understanding raise her voice? On the heights, beside the way,    at the crossroads she takes her stand; beside the gates in front of the town,    at the entrance of the portals she cries out: ‘To you, O people, I call,    and my cry is to all that live. O simple ones, learn prudence;    acquire intelligence, you who lack it. Hear, for I will speak noble things,    and from my lips will come what is right; for my mouth will utter truth;    wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my mouth are righteous;    there [...]

Proverbs 1:1-7, 3:1-8 For learning about wisdom and instruction,    for understanding words of insight, for gaining instruction in wise dealing,    righteousness, justice, and equity; to teach shrewdness to the simple,    knowledge and prudence to the young— let the wise also hear and gain in learning,    and the discerning acquire skill, to understand a proverb and a figure,    the words of the wise and their riddles. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge;    fools despise wisdom and instruction. My child, do not forget my teaching,    but let your heart keep my commandments; for length of days and years of life    and abundant welfare they will [...]

2 Peter 3:1-10, 17-18 This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you; in them I am trying to arouse your sincere intention by reminding you that you should remember the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken through your apostles. First of all you must understand this, that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and indulging their own lusts and saying, ‘Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since our ancestors died, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation!’ They deliberately ignore this fact, [...]

2 Peter 1:16-2:2, 15-19 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received honor and glory from God the Father when that voice was conveyed to him by the Majestic Glory, saying, ‘This is my Son, my Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.’ We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven, while we were with him on the holy mountain. So we have the prophetic message more fully confirmed. You will do well to be attentive to this as to a [...]
