Pastor Adam opens on sexuality with three readings rather than one, and the selection is the argument: humanity made male and female, everything made for its purpose, and what is plain about God from what has been made.

A series on abundant living opens at the tree of life. Pastor Adam separates biological life from the kind that outlasts it, argues most people conflate them and settle for the first, and organises the message around what a tree consumes, where it is planted, and its fruit.

Rondi Pogue, who directs a ministry working in conferences, India and the local jails, preaches on the question her work puts her in front of constantly: am I bad? The distinction the message rests on is shame as a claim about what a person is.

Abram gives a tenth of everything to a priest-king centuries before any law requires it, then refuses to take a thread or a sandal strap from the king of Sodom. Pastor Adam uses both halves to make the case for the corporate tithe and the local church.

God finishes the work and then stops. Pastor Adam opens the Rest series in Genesis 2:3, arguing the world was created into deep stillness rather than activity, and that rest and sleep are not the same thing: without the capacity to rest, sleep does not arrive.
