Sermon Series Description: Genesis means “beginnings.” This title is derived from the opening line of the book, which is the opening statement of the whole Bible: “In the beginning…”
The Chapel’s late Pastor Emeritus, Dick Woodward, used to describe the significance of starting at the beginning like this: “God tells us like it was, so we can know how it is.” To understand the way God works now, we must understand the way God worked then. In order to understand our nature now, we must understand what happened to our nature then. To understand our future hope, we must understand God’s ancient plan.
In Genesis 1-11, God tells us “like it was.” By returning to our beginnings, we will better understand our relationship with Him, our relationships with others, our sexuality, our propensity to overwork, overeat, overindulge, and our ability to deceive ourselves. God tells us “like it was” concerning our brokenness, but He also tells it “like it was” concerning His love for His creation, His plan for salvation, and the lengths He would go one day to reconcile all things to Himself.
Join us this summer as we study Genesis 1-11, contemplating our beginnings and listening to God telling us “like it was,” so we can all know “how it is” and how it will be for eternity.

Here at the Chapel, we believe that being intentional as disciples is critical to growing in our relationship with Jesus. Our women’s mentoring ministry will pair ladies to help facilitate this journey of faith as they share life together. The testimony below is one such relationship:
I realized I was in desperate need of a spiritual mentor, and God answered my prayers during the women’s event with Lauren Daigle when they announced the beginning of a mentoring ministry. I was so thankful to be a part of this. Even though our time together was short, every meeting had a purpose. I had been struggling with my prayer life as well as accountability in consistently studying God’s Word. My mentor, Jackie, and I came up with ideas that would help my quiet prayer time, and it has never been stronger. Jackie helped me figure out where I was struggling, and we realized it would be best for me to write down my prayers. This has helped me stay focused on Jesus during my quiet times, not allowing my thoughts to stray to my “to do” list. God also led us to a Galatians study that helped keep me studying God’s Word, reaffirming that the only way to live right by Him is through faith, not any other effort from me. This came at a perfect time in my life and has been such a blessing even in the short time we met together. — Stacey Hall, mentee
We didn’t really know what our goal for this time together would be until we got to know each other a bit. For this season, we chose to use our time together to be accountability partners sharing a common Bible study. Because one of us had a jam-packed schedule while the other, a less full and more flexible one, we fit perfectly! The Lord guided us through His Word as well as gently into each other’s lives. It was a delight. — Jackie Hawks, mentorIf you would like more information on our women’s mentoring ministry, please stop by our Ministry Spotlight in the Main Foyer today or visit online at: wcchapel.org/women.
