What if the promises God made to Abraham are still shaping your life today?

In The Story: God Promises, Brad McKerley walks through Genesis 12, where God calls Abram to leave everything familiar and trust his plan. Through four powerful promises: a great nation, a great name, a great blessing, and a great mission, we see how God’s covenant with Abraham points to Jesus and invites us to live by faith.

God’s faithfulness in the Old Testament connects to our story now. His promise of blessing through Abraham becomes our hope in Christ.

The Story – Act 2: God Is Rejected
What happens when people turn away from the God who made us? In Act 2 of The Story – Our Place in God’s Plan, we trace the heartbreaking but honest reality of rebellion and rejection – from the garden to the wasteland. We will see how sin fractures everything God called “very good.” Yet even here, God’s mercy and mission are already unfolding.

Join Charles Zimmerman as he unpacks how our rejection of God sets the stage for the greatest redemption story ever told… and what that means for our place in his plan today.

The Bible isn’t a random collection of verses, it’s one big story that begins with God creating. This message invites us to slow down and see Genesis 1–2 not as a scientific manual, but as a masterpiece revealing the who and why behind creation.

God designs with purpose, calls his world good, and places people in relationship with himself and one another. Act 1: God Creates reminds us that everything begins with a Creator who is worthy of our trust and worship. We’re called to submit to the Creator, enjoy his creation, and join him in restoring it – living today in ways that reflect his original design and point toward his ultimate rest.

What if the Bible isn’t a rulebook or a self-help guide, but a story?

A story with a beginning, middle, and end… and you’re living in the middle of it. In this message, Charles Zimmerman unpacks the big picture of God’s story: creation, rejection, promise, Jesus, our mission, and ultimate restoration. Discover how God’s story confronts us, shapes us, and invites us to live and share the gospel today.
