What is the starting point of prayer? Is it primarily about asking God for things, or simply being with him. Joel looks at that question from Exodus 33.
Dallas Willard once described prayer as "Talking to God about what we are doing together." Today we take a look at the Lord's Prayer in Luke 11 and Matthew 6 to see how that might be true.

What is going on when Noah enters the ark and the flood comes? We look at Genesis 7:5-24 to find out.
How did Jesus understand God as Father? We may find a clue in the use of the word Abba, which some have translated "daddy." Is that word too informal, or does it have something to teach us about who God is?

This is week one in our new series on the book of Genesis, titled "Not Your Parents' Genesis" where we look at the foundational story of our Scriptures which tells us what kind of story we are in. You might just discover that it sounds a little different as an adult than it did when you were a child.
