Many of us are overly-familiar with the story of Noah and the ark, which causes us to miss the gold here. You’re about to see the hidden truth about Noah’s ark that people rarely talk about. There’s a reason God gives him a blueprint to follow. The roof, the rooms, the pitch, its all symbolic of a deeper spiritual reality. This is more than just a boat that saves lives, and, its hidden in plain sight. In this video, we’re going to walk through 14 key insights in Genesis 6, that often get overlooked. I know its double what I normally do but you’ll see why. Then, we’ll finish by connecting all of this to Jesus.

You’ve probably heard the Noah story a million times, but let’s focus just on the beginning for a second. Because there are certain things I never caught until just recently, even after hearing this story for most of my life. For example, who are the sons of God? What is the deal with God’s 120 year limit? Who are the Nephilim and where did they come from? So, the real question is: why is God’s solution to human evil to bring a flood upon the earth? Be sure to check out our ministry resources below!

Does Adam’s genealogy contain a secret message that needs to be de-coded? In Genesis 5, we see a very different family tree from Cain’s. In the previous chapter. And, some have suggested there’s a secret message here. They say the message is in the Hebrew meaning of each name. Others have suggested, there’s a set of numbers that reveal a hidden message. I do believe there’s a message and its often hidden to the naked eye. But, its not what you might think. This genealogy is NOT boring, its incredibly deep.

In Genesis 4, Cain kills his brother Abel and is exiled from Eden to be a fugitive and a wanderer. And, usually that’s all that most people know about Cain. But, Genesis 4 tells us more about Cain and his descendants. We’re told he builds a city, and his descendants are worse than he was. Then, Genesis 4 concludes with Adam and Eve replacing Abel with a son named Seth. These two family lines will setup the rest of the biblical story. But, you need to understand the significance of Cain’s city and how this is building to the story of Noah. Be sure to check out our ministry resources below!

You probably know the story of Cain and Abel. But, there’s a dark truth hidden in the shadows within this story, that I missed for years. It has to do with this monster called “sin” that’s crouching at Cain’s door. But, it also involves the ground. And, maybe you’ve never considered this, but the ground is a consistent point of emphasis in this story for some reason. So, what really moved Cain to kill his brother Abel? What was happening in that moment? And, why is Abel’s blood said to be crying out to God from the ground? Be sure to check out our ministry resources below!

If you know the story of Cain and Abel, you know that God accepts Abel but rejects Cain. And, everyone wants to know why? There are some great theories but at the end of the day, everything is speculation. Some say Cain is the unholy offspring of Eve and the serpent. Some say the ground is cursed so his offering of fruit is cursed. Others say it has to do with the fact that it wasn’t his best. But, what if there’s something that all of these theories are overlooking? See, there’s a powerful revelation underneath all of this that usually gets missed because everyone focuses on Cain’s rejection. And, I can’t wait to show you the deeper message.

Today we're reading Genesis 3:20-24 where Adam is exiled from the tree of life. After Adam and Eve sin, God casts them away from the tree of life. And, at the east of the garden, God stations spiritual guardians to prevent anyone from finding the way back to the tree of life. Have you ever wondered why God places a flaming sword and cherubim? Why does God mention the East? And why does He making coverings for Adam and Eve? Is there a deeper message underneath all of this that we’ve possibly missed? To really see the spiritual wisdom here, we need to understand how this connects to God’s fiery presence in the sacred temple. Be sure to check out our ministry resources below!

Today we're reading Genesis 3:14-19 where Adam and Eve receive the natural consequences for sin along with the serpent. When Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit, they become naked and ashamed. Then, God shows up, to gives the appropriate consequences to Adam, Eve and the serpent. And, if you look closely, you’ll notice some weird details including several similarities in their consequences. Most importantly, this becomes the first messianic gospel prophecy. So, why is the snake sentenced to eating dust if snakes already do that? Why is the ground cursed now because of Adam? And, who is this seed of the woman that will crush the snake?

Today we're reading Genesis 3:8-13 where Adam and Eve find themselves naked, ashamed and hiding from God. In Genesis 3, Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit, and then become aware of their nakedness. Then we’re told they hid themselves because they heard the sound of God walking towards them in the cool of the day. And, there are two simple words that might indicate something deeper is going on here. I can’t wait to show you what I overlooked for years in this story. It absolutely blew my mind. So, why do they hide? What do they hear? And, why does it mention the “cool of the day?” You might think these are extra, filler details in the fall of man story, but Genesis 3, is inviting us to ask deeper questions to discover deeper truths about God and mankind.

Today we're reading Genesis 3:1-7. You probably know the story known as the fall of man in Genesis 3. Mankind rebels against God, and there are longterm consequences for the entire world. But, why does this story open with a serpent? Why is he said to be “crafty?” What is with the odd description of the forbidden fruit? And, what if the Hebrew indicates this is not even a snake at all? These are the kinds of questions I didn’t know to ask about this story, but In this video, we’re going to ask them.

Today we're reading Genesis 2:18-25. Why did God make Eve in a completely different way than Adam? Why did God put Adam into a deep sleep and then form Eve from his side (rib)? Why did God make Adam name animals almost as if he was looking for a help mate among the animals? If you’ve ever wondered these things, you’re in good company. These are the kinds of details that will unlock Genesis 2 for you like never before. Be sure to check out our ministry resources below!

Today we're reading Genesis 2:8-17. Did you know that Adam was NOT made in the garden of Eden? Technically, he was made from the dust outside of Eden. And, there’s a deeper reason why. You might not agree with this interpretation, but give me a chance to prove this viewpoint from the Scriptures. See, this small revelation blew my mind once I realized what was happening here. This is just one of the cool details we’ll explore in this video on Genesis 2. Be sure to check out our ministry resources below!

Today we're reading Genesis 2:1-7. Most of us are familiar with the creation story of Genesis 1. But, did you know, there’s a second creation story in Genesis 2? This particular story reveals some details we don’t see in Genesis 1, and we should be asking why. For example, why are we given a detailed account of Adam’s creation? Why is he made from the dust outside the Garden of Eden? Why is the world presented as dry desert rather than chaotic, dark waters like we saw in Genesis 1? Why does this story open with God resting?
