We are in the midst of an exciting and edifying journey through the first eleven chapters of Genesis - a series pastor Lloyd has titled "The Foundations". As we continue in chapter two today, we continue to see God's creative genius at work as He creates man, and then creates a place for man to dwell.

Today on Bridging the Gap we resume our series titled "The Foundations". It's based on the first eleven chapters of Genesis, and we've reached the point of creation where God created mankind.

Today we bring you another message from Lloyd's series in there first eleven chapters of Genesis, titled "The Foundations". We'll be looking at the end of chapter one, and the beginning of chapter two. It's here that we read one of the most important truths mankind needs to know - we were made in God's image.

Genesis has been rightly called the book of beginnings, as it reveals the beginning of everything - except for God of course. The bible makes no attempt to prove His existence, for that truth is self evident. As the Psalmist said, the heavens declare the glory of God and the skies show His handy work. What a glorious work God has done - how great is our God! And for you - He made the sky, the oceans, the trees, the animals and in such abundance and variety.

Genesis chapter one tells of our beginnings, and it's all about God. God is the primary cause because He planned it, He is the instrumental cause because He produced it, and He is the final cause because He did it for His own glory. That comes shining through as we study Genesis one starting with verse three.

Today on Bridging the Gap we continue the story of Creation, and have arrived at day five. Since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities; His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. On today's program we reach day five in God's creation project. If you love animals, and love studying the amazing number of creatures that crawl, walk, run and fly around our planet, then today's message is for you.

The truth of God's word has been challenged from the very beginning. Today is no different. But it's tragic to see even those within the Church question the veracity of the word of God. And when it comes to the book of Genesis - the attacks are the fiercest. No doubt it's because - if the foundation can be undermined then the rest of the structure will crumble. Well today on Bridging the Gap, we go on the offensive through a study of Genesis one!

Maybe like a lot of people you're wondering how in the world we got here? Was there some sort of an explosion caused by random chance that sprung creation into existence or is there a creator behind it all? Well you're not likely to get the right answer by opening the science books being read in the public schools, but you will by turning to Genesis chapter one! It has the answer we're looking for, and we'd invite you to join us there as we return to pastor Lloyd.

It's good to remind ourselves of the kind of God we pray to. He is the creator. He spoke - then out of nothing He made the heaven and the earth. He made everything and He's holding it all together. That's comforting! We'll explore this great truth in more detail today as pastors Lloyd continues his new series titled "The Foundations".

"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth". Every Christian knows that verse, but perhaps you don't really understand the ramifications of what follows. That's what this new series is all about. Pastor Lloyd will lay out the foundations of our faith, and the foundations of why God created the heavens, the earth, and the people who occupy it.
