Pastor Keith emphasizes the importance of relying on God by highlighting core principles from the “Imago Dei” series. He explains that true fulfillment and righteousness come from recognizing our essential need for God, contrasting transactional religion with a relational connection to Him, using Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount as the basis for the upside down Kingdom of God.

Pastor Keith discusses the story of Noah from Genesis 6, highlighting humanity’s corruption and the ensuing divine judgment. He emphasizes the gravity of sin and how mankind’s violence grieves God’s heart. Despite this, God remains invested in humanity, offering redemption and salvation.

Pastor Keith discusses the story of Cain and Abel from Genesis 4, focusing on the differing motivations behind their offerings to God. Abel offers his sacrifice in faith and worship, while Cain’s offering stems from self-righteousness and identity in his achievements.
