We continue our series on the earliest chapters of Genesis to discover "the true story of the world" that challenges the dominant story believed in our Western culture.

We will be looking at the idol of personal privacy. Why are we so wary of letting people into certain areas of our lives? Is that Biblically defensible?

Rev Stephen Terpstra > Work and wealth promise us all sorts of benefits, even happiness and safety and acceptance, if we will only give our lives to them. But, of course, they cannot satisfy. However, following Jesus means selling all we have so that we can have a true and permanent and satisfying treasure in Him, as our passage today shows.

In our final look (for now) at the earliest history of the world, we will look at Genesis 9:1-17, where God establishes a covenant with Noah, and by extension, with the entire creation.

We are capable people. Many of us are "can do it" kinds of people. Is it possibly that our own ability has become an idol?
