Genesis 9-10 – New Beginnings, emphasizes the new beginnings for Noah and his family as God establishes His covenant of loving-kindness with all the earth. God gives mankind the responsibility to rule and reign with justice in order to protect the sanctity of life. When we honor the Lord our relationship with our parents, coworkers and community it enables us to produces good fruit instead of the violence and dissension we see in both Noah’s day and today. Listen to Pastor JC Cooper’s timely message in Genesis 9-10 and join us in praying for new beginnings rooted in God’s promises!
