Creator God

And God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. - Genesis 1:31


As we begin this week with our new series following the narrative of Christ from the beginning to the end of the story we are going to start by laying a foundation -

The Bible starts with a very familiar story to most, in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…

Our view of the world begins with our view of God. The way that we think about God shapes the way that we think about everything else, along with the way we act and respond to every circumstance.

Because of this, we need to get our understanding of God straight before we go any further in this series… 

In other words, as we set out to tell the story of the Bible, we have to begin with God. As the author of the Bible and the hero of every story found in it, we can’t even begin to think about telling the story without starting with him.

To do this, we are going to start as the last verse of the first chapter… Genesis 1:31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

At first glance, Genesis 1 doesn’t seem to give us much information about God. Instead, it seems as if we have just the story of creation, with the existence of God more or less assumed. But as we read through the account of the creation week, the authority of God is pretty astonishing.

God speaks, and things happen…

I don’t know about you but I am sure glad that this is the God that I serve – 

So how does Christ fit into this? Find out on Sunday @ 11!
