<p>One of the many distinctions found in Genesis, is that we are made in the image of God and it is with us He desires to walk.</p>

<p>When others succeed, we can either admire and emulate them, or as Cain did, we can allow envy to grow.</p>

<p>Satan’s attack on our first parents began with an attack on God’s word. To walk in faith trusting God’s word brings the intimacy of God’s presence and the bounty of His provision.</p>

<p>From the beginning God’s design was that mankind would have a relationship with Him and with others.</p>

<p>Genesis teaches us that there is an alternative to a life of chaos, disfunction, isolation, and fear.</p>

<p>As we go into 2020, we can have a strong hope for the future knowing that the presence of the Lord will always be with us. One of the names of God is, “Jehovah Shammah” which means “The Lord Is There.”</p>

<p>Shortly after God had brought His people out from Egypt, He revealed Himself to them as their Healer. He had already proven Himself to them as their Deliverer, now He reveals Himself also as their Healer with the name Jehovah Rapha.</p>

<p>Pastor Dave Koop shares a message on how the Messiah changes our heart at Coastal Church's Christmas Grand Service event.</p>

<p>We all, at some point in our lives, will face a situation where we need God’s provision to have enough to meet our needs; whether it be financial, physical, relational or emotional. God has promised He will provide, and His name Jehovah Jireh reveals that character of His nature.</p>

<p>There are many names that describe the attributes of our Heavenly Father, and one of these attributes is that He is a God of righteousness.</p>

<p>Pastor Ken Shigematsu from Tenth Church in Vancouver shares a special message with Coastal Church.</p>

<p>As we walk out the Christian life, we have this thirst to be pure and more like God. This hope to be pure comes from the Holy Spirit and God has promised He would empower us to live a life of purity in a broken world.</p>

<p>We live in a world today where people are struggling to find their identity. An identity crisis can be described as a period of uncertainty and confusion in which a person’s sense of identity becomes insecure. As a child of God, we have a powerful identity which gives us both security and clarity in our lives and we live under the banner of God’s love.</p>

<p>Names are powerful! When we study the names of God, we begin to understand his nature and character, or how He can help in a time of need. In this message Pastor Fermin talks about Jehovah Raah - which is derived from the Hebrew word meaning "shepherd". This analogy is used many times in the bible, and is an illustration of God's desire to protect us, guide us and meet our needs even when we've gone astray.</p>

<p>The world tells us that freedom is doing whatever we want, but the Bible teaches us that true freedom is found when we submit ourselves to the Lordship of Jesus and the authority in His name.</p>

<p>The Lord’s prayer found in Matthew 6:9-13, is the model or pattern of prayer that Jesus taught us. Jesus didn’t say “pray these words”, but “pray this way”.</p>

<p>Guest Speaker: Pastor Fermin Garcia</p>

<p>Over the next two months we will be focusing on prayer.* During this time we will be focusing on four habits to strengthen us.<br><br>1. Habit of weekly large group worship.<br>2. Habit of small group fellowship.<br>3. Habit of a daily time alone with God.<br>4. Habit of memorizing God’s Word.</p>

<p>Pastor Carl-Gustaf Severin shares a message at Coastal Church's 25th Anniversary Celebration.</p>
