A Biblical View of Man
A Biblical View of Man – Genesis chapter 2, verses 4 to 7 Where do we find purpose and identity? Without the worldview of the Bible many no longer have a solid place to find it.

The Pinnacle of Creation
The Pinnacle of Creation – Genesis chapter 1, verses 24 to 31 “Being human” – what does it mean? The greatest wonder in the world, striding across it like a god?
