East of Eden, Toward the Light

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 14 Dec 2025 17:43:05 +0000

Exile runs through every page of Genesis – but God is always moving toward return, blessing, and incarnation.

Seeing Clearly: Becoming the Image of God

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 07 Dec 2025 17:24:04 +0000

In this Advent sermon, Trey invites us to slow down, breathe, and consider what it really means to bear the image of God. Using stories from childhood Magic Eye books to mountain fog in Shenandoah, he shows how our view of Jesus can become fuzzy—and how Scripture clarifies what the world distorts.
Rooted in Colossians 1, this message explores Christ as the true Image, the One who holds all things together, and the One restoring His likeness in us. If you’ve ever wrestled with spiritual winters, comparison, or the fear that you’re “not worth hearing from God,” this sermon offers hope: Jesus is present, patient, and committed to transforming us.
Advent reminds us to look again. To lift our eyes. To behold the One who sees us clearly—and makes us like Himself.

Advent Begins in the Dark: Breaking the Pattern

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 30 Nov 2025 17:18:49 +0000

Advent doesn’t begin with twinkle lights and hot chocolate. It begins in the dark. In this message, Chris traces the story from Eden to Exile—through Cain and Lamech, the flood and Babel, Israel and Babylon—to show a repeated pattern: autonomy, fracture, exile… and surprising grace.

This first week of Advent names the ache: the world is not as it should be, and neither are we. But into that long history of human failure, God comes near. Jesus steps into the pattern and breaks it from the inside—absorbing violence, reversing revenge, surrendering where Adam grasped.

With Pentecost as the great reversal of Babel, we see how the Spirit now writes a new pattern in us: surrender instead of autonomy, honesty instead of hiding, love instead of violence, bearing the name of Jesus instead of making a name for ourselves. Advent hope isn’t optimism; it’s a Person. The light has come, the light is coming, and the light now lives in you.

Bricks, Towers, and the God Who Comes Down

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 23 Nov 2025 17:26:37 +0000

In this sermon on the Tower of Babel, Pastor Chris explores the deep human impulse to build lives of self-reliance—lives shaped by fear, control, and the need to make a name for ourselves. Far from a story about ancient architecture, Babel reveals the patterns we still live in today: the bricks we stack to feel safe, the towers we build to feel significant, and the names we chase to feel seen.

But God’s response is not anger—it’s mercy. Scattering becomes protection. Confusion becomes rescue. And the story bends toward a promise: a God who comes down, who breaks the power of fear, and who gives a name we don’t have to earn. Through Babel, Pentecost, and the hope of the New Jerusalem, this message invites us into the freedom of smallness, trust, and the strong tower of God’s unfailing love.

The Vineyard, the Shame, and the God Who Covers

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 13:51:48 +0000

In this message from Genesis 9, we explore the final scene of Noah’s life… his vineyard, his vulnerability, and the surprising family fracture that follows. The story exposes how even in a washed-clean world, the human heart still needs redemption. We look at honor, covering, generational words, and the danger of exposure culture, then trace the thread that leads from Noah’s vineyard to the cross, where Jesus becomes the better gardener, the better vine, and the One who covers our shame for good.

The God Who Listens, Blesses, and Covenants

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 09 Nov 2025 17:25:18 +0000

After the flood, Noah steps off the ark and offers worship to God — and God responds with mercy, blessing, and a covenant that will never be broken. In this message from Genesis 8–9, Sarah Pasquale explores the heart of a God who listens to His people, delights to bless, and binds Himself to humanity in everlasting faithfulness. Through Noah’s offering, God’s promise, and the bow hung in the sky, we glimpse divine mercy that still invites us today to trust, respond, and live in light of His grace.

The God Who Remembers

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 26 Oct 2025 16:16:26 +0000

In the story of the flood, judgment and mercy meet. Before the rain, God grieves; in the storm, He remembers. This message explores Genesis 6–9 as more than a tale of destruction—it’s a story of divine heartbreak, faithful trust, and the God who says “enough” so new creation can begin again.

Tears Before the Flood: Death’s Drumbeat and a Walk with God

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 19 Oct 2025 16:29:21 +0000

In Genesis 5–6:8, the refrain changes from “it was good” to “and he died”—until one stunning interruption: Enoch walked with God. Chris tackles the strange “sons of God” passage, the pattern of “saw and took,” and why Scripture shows a God who grieves before He judges. Far from a divine tantrum, the flood emerges as painful mercy in a world unraveling. We’re invited to name where we cross boundaries, to share God’s lament, and to choose Enoch’s way—walking with God while grace finds Noah and hope breaks in.

Cities and Altars: Progress Without Presence

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 12 Oct 2025 16:43:34 +0000

In Genesis 4:17–26, we trace Cain’s city, Lamech’s boast, and the birth of music, tools, and industry—human progress rising while peace falls. Chris contrasts the “city of self” with a people who “begin to call on the name of the Lord,” asking whether we’re building without God or building with Him. We explore empire vs. kingdom, vengeance “seventy-sevenfold” vs. Jesus’ forgiveness, and the slow way of prayer and presence. When the world builds towers, the church learns to build altars.

East of Eden: Cain, Abel, and the Lie of Scarcity

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 05 Oct 2025 18:21:14 +0000

In Genesis 4:1–16, Chris unpacks the first act of worship outside the garden and the fracture between two brothers. Why does God “regard” Abel’s offering and not Cain’s—and what does that reveal about trust, envy, and the myth of limited favor? We explore sin “crouching at the door,” the mark of Cain as a sign of mercy, and the call to be our brother’s keeper. The episode ends by pointing to the better word of Jesus’ blood—ending rivalry and inviting us to trust God’s abundant grace east of Eden.

East of Eden: Curses, Coverings, and the First Gospel

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 28 Sep 2025 16:17:00 +0000

Genesis 3 closes with justice and mercy side by side. We walk through God’s words to the serpent, the woman, and the man, noting that only the serpent and the ground are explicitly cursed, and exploring how childbirth sorrow and fractured relationships name life outside the garden. We consider why patriarchy is a result of the fall, not God’s design, how toil reshapes our vocation, and why exile explains the ache we all feel. Along the way we talk proto-gospel hope, the meaning of Eve’s name, spiritual warfare as everyday unity, and God’s tender act of clothing his children. The story does not end east of Eden. In Christ, the serpent’s head is crushed and the way home is opened.

Where Are You? God’s Pursuit in Our Shame and Hiding

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 16:17:30 +0000

We all know the instinct to hide—whether it’s a child covering up a broken toy, or adults curating perfect résumés and Instagram feeds to keep others from seeing what’s really going on. In Genesis 3, Adam and Eve’s first response to shame is fear, hiding, and blame. Yet God doesn’t storm in with wrath or withdraw in disgust—He comes walking in the garden, calling out, “Where are you?” This sermon explores how shame distorts our identity, drives us into hiding, and fractures our relationships, but also how God’s first movement toward fallen humanity is grace. From Eden to the cross, God refuses to leave us in our hiding. Instead, He pursues, invites, and ultimately bears our blame and shame in Christ so we can come out of hiding and be restored.

Violence and The Way of Jesus

The Whisper and the Voice: Trusting God in Eden and Beyond

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 01:06:15 +0000

In Genesis 3, the serpent’s whisper raises the same questions we still wrestle with today: Can God really be trusted? Is He withholding from us? Pastor Chris Case unpacks the familiar Eden story with fresh eyes—exploring the talking serpent, the allure of autonomy, and the shame of fig leaves. Along the way, he draws connections to the Lion King, Israel’s history, and Jesus as the new Adam. At the heart of the story is a question for all of us: Which voice will we trust—the whisper of lies or the Father’s voice that names us beloved?

Side by Side: Why “Not Good to Be Alone”

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 31 Aug 2025 16:21:35 +0000

Genesis 2 surprises us: even with meaningful work and God’s presence in the garden, the Lord says, “It is not good for the man to be alone.” In this message, Chris explores what that means for our design as image-bearers—made for mutuality, not isolation. We unpack the Hebrew phrase ezer kenegdo (“a strong help who corresponds”), why “helper” never implies inferiority, and how “from the side” paints a picture of equality, dignity, and shared vocation. Yes, marriage is in view—but Scripture also widens the lens to friendship, spiritual family, and the church as covenantal belonging.
Along the way we tackle common distortions (domination and radical individualism), celebrate the given-ness of our embodied sex as male and female, and consider how the gospel forms a new people who live with and for one another.
The refrain we carry home: Made together, not alone—side by side, God’s love is shown.
Text: Genesis 2:18–25.

Dust, Breath, and Boundaries: Living the Human Story in Genesis 2

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 24 Aug 2025 16:13:05 +0000

Genesis 2 shifts the focus from the cosmic scope of creation to the intimacy of dust and breath. In this message, Pastor Chris explores what it means to be human—fragile yet filled with God’s Spirit, priests placed in sacred space, and creatures made with limits that are not failures but gifts. We wrestle with the trees in the garden, the boundaries God sets, and the invitation to embrace our dust-ness without despair. In Christ, the true Adam, what is fragile is not wasted, what is borrowed is returned, and what is dust will one day shine with imperishable glory.

Made in God’s Image: Our Calling to Rule, Reflect, Reproduce, and Rest

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 17 Aug 2025 17:29:47 +0000

At the climax of creation, God places his image in the world—not in statues of stone or rulers on thrones, but in humanity itself, male and female. In this message, Pastor Chris unpacks what it means to be God’s living images: to rule with justice and care, to reflect his character, to multiply life and faith, and to rest in his presence. Sin distorts this vocation, but in Jesus—the exact image of God—we see it fully restored. This is the invitation: to live as true image-bearers, joining God in his mission to fill the earth with his glory.

Order, Presence, and Goodness in a Chaotic World

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 10 Aug 2025 16:37:11 +0000

Life often feels like a scene from The Bear—loud, messy, and chaotic. In Genesis 1, we meet a God who brings order out of disorder, fills creation with His presence, and declares it good. This sermon explores how the creation account isn’t just ancient poetry—it’s a lens for seeing our world and our lives today. Discover how God’s order can bring peace to your chaos, His presence can anchor you in fear, and His goodness can restore your hope, all made visible in Jesus Christ, the dawn of new creation.

God in the Chaos: Beginning with Wonder

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 03 Aug 2025 16:11:47 +0000

In the opening of our Genesis 1–11 series, we step into the ancient world behind the text to ask not “How did this happen?” but “What kind of story is this—and what kind of God does it reveal?”
Pastor Chris invites us to slow down, reframe our questions, and behold a Creator who doesn’t fear the chaos but hovers over it—present, patient, and full of purpose.
This message explores the first two verses of Genesis 1, ancient creation narratives, the meaning of tohu va vohu, and the Spirit’s hovering presence in the darkness.
Because before anything is formed or filled, God is already there.

The God Who Makes All Things New

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 27 Jul 2025 16:32:44 +0000

What do we do when the weight of the world feels unbearable—when we see broken systems, shattered lives, and deep injustice all around us? In this sermon, we’re invited to anchor our hope not in utopian dreams or political fixes, but in the promise of Jesus: “Behold, I am making all things new.”

Preaching from Revelation 21, this message explores the final act of the biblical story—new creation—and what it means for how we live today. The future isn’t escape. It’s restoration. Heaven isn’t about clouds and harps—it’s about God coming down to dwell with his people, to wipe every tear, and to set all things right.

With honest stories of injustice and heartbreak from our own city, we’re reminded that Christian hope doesn’t mean checking out. It means living now as a counter-cultural, Spirit-empowered community that reflects the world to come. The church is political—not through power plays, but through love, sacrifice, and everyday faithfulness.

This is good news for the weary and the justice-hungry. God is not making all new things—He is making all things new.

The God Who… Is For Us

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 20 Jul 2025 15:59:27 +0000

The God Who… Welcomes Us Home

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 13 Jul 2025 19:30:17 +0000

What kind of God does Jesus reveal? In this sermon, Pastor Chris walks us through the story often called “The Prodigal Son”—but the focus isn’t just on the son who ran away. It’s about a Father who runs toward us.

Whether you carry shame like the younger son, or self-righteousness like the older, the parable speaks a deeper truth: God is not a reluctant landlord or a disappointed boss. He is a Father who sees you, sprints toward you, and throws a party in your honor.

This message explores how both sons misunderstood their Father—and how Jesus reframes our own assumptions about worth, repentance, obedience, and grace. It’s an open-ended invitation to drop the script and come inside.

Because the gospel isn’t just that you can come home—it’s that God is already running to meet you.

The God Who… Is Compassionate

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 08 Jun 2025 16:12:19 +0000

Trey Boden explores how God’s radical compassion invites us not just to feel sympathy, but to be fully present with the hurting, crossing lines of worthiness and modeling mercy like Jesus.

The God Who… Creates

chriscase@resonateatlanta.org (Resonate Church) — Sun, 01 Jun 2025 16:02:48 +0000

Before resurrection, there was death. Before celebration, there was sorrow. In this episode, we sit at the foot of the cross in Matthew’s Gospel—not rushing past it, but letting it speak. Through story, scripture, and silence, we consider what it means to follow a crucified King.
