In this sermon, Darrell leans into the genealogy from Adam to Noah written in Genesis 5. Now genealogies aren’t always the most entertaining read in the Biblical text, but Darrell in this sermon shows the profound meaning embedded in them. In this teaching, Darrell highlights two important things genealogies teach us and highlights 4 keywords in the text that show us how the Lord is always keeping His word.
In this sermon Darrell dives into the story of Noah & the Great Flood. Now this story is one of profound obedience and tragedy, but a tale about a great flood isn’t unique to the Bible. Darrell begins by pitting the Genesis story of the flood against other versions of it, explaining the uniqueness of Yahweh’s heart and ultimately how these stories signify that this isn’t a myth - that something must have happened. Darrell spends the bulk of the message answering three questions in the narrative - Why? What? And now what?
In this last message of our Genesis series, Darrell unpacks Genesis 11:1-9 where we read about the people of Babel who set out to build a city and a tower that they hope will reach to the heavens. Darrell argues that the narrative describes a people who are ultimately on a quest for transcendence; a creative culture which seeks to live independently and without a true centre. Reflecting on the pattern we have seen through the earlier chapters in Genesis – Grace, Rebellion, Judgement, then new Grace – Darrell shows us that, even after God comes down and frustrates this building of a human-centred society, there is still hope to come. Indeed, we find a story of new grace emerging, a story that every broken city in the world is longing for.

Darrell takes the time to explain how Genesis chapter 2 gives us a vision for being human in the created world. He shares how the Genesis story shows us that truly being human is to live in a harmonious relationship with the earth, others, ourselves, and God. Darrell shows that Scripture makes the case that pursuing harmony in these four relationships is what brings God’s Kingdom, or "shalom” here on earth.
