November 13, 2022 - Act One: Creation

“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” ~Genesis 1:1

The Church is in danger of dismissing God’s Creation as a simple memory exercise for the kids or a complicated disagreement between theologians and scientists. Are we relegating Creation to just children’s books and academic journals? It seems that Creation is talked about everywhere but in the Church. We leave it alone as either too elementary or too controversial.

No! Creation is everything!

Act One of the Story of God is the Almighty’s way of providing the foundation for our relationship with him and the reason for his salvation plan. Genesis 1-2 give us the building blocks for the whole rest of the story: God alone is Creator and initiator; men and women are made in his holy image; God wants to be in perfect communion with us. Once we get a handle on the power and beauty of creation, sin becomes really ugly and redemption and new creation make perfect biblical sense.

Please read both accounts of the Creation in Genesis 1-2. Read both chapters. Out loud. Then join us at 10:15 Sunday morning November 13 as we dive into the “very good” beginning of the Story of God.
