In this episode of Going Deeper, we begin our study of the Top Ten Bible Stories by exploring Genesis 1–11. Why does the beginning matter? How do creation, chaos, and hope shape the rest of Scripture—and our own lives? Join the conversation as we look at why Genesis still matters today.

In this episode of Going Deeper, we begin our Christian Bible study series on the Top Ten Bible Stories by examining Genesis 1–11—the creation story, the fall, the flood, and the Tower of Babel. These foundational chapters of the Book of Genesis shape the entire story of Scripture, pointing us toward God’s work of bringing order out of chaos and ultimately toward Christ. At Trinity Methodist Church, our mission to L.I.V.E. begins with Learning and applying God’s Word, and studying Genesis helps us understand who we are, why the world is broken, and how we faithfully respond as stewards of God’s story. Whether you are new to Bible study or have read Genesis many times, this conversation invites you to see why the beginning still matters.

The Problem with Counting Church Attendance
Wednesday Apr 16, 2025
Wednesday Apr 16, 2025
Why do we get so caught up in numbers—especially in ministry? In 1 Chronicles 21, King David orders a census that seems innocent enough, but God sees it differently. The fallout is massive, yet from the wreckage comes the foundation for something holy: the future site of the Temple. In this episode, we unpack what David's story teaches us about trust, pride, and the hidden dangers of measuring success the wrong way.
