How old is the earth? And perhaps more importantly, what does Genesis 1 actually teach us about creation, time, and the God who made it all?

In “Age of the Earth,” Ricky Smith walks through Genesis 1 and related passages to consider what Scripture says about the days of creation, the beginning of time, and the significance of God’s design. While questions about the age of the earth can create strong convictions and disagreements, Scripture calls us to approach these questions carefully, faithfully, and graciously.

This message also points us beyond the debate. Genesis reminds us that God created with purpose and established a rhythm of work and rest. The Sabbath was not an afterthought—it was woven into creation itself. You were built for rhythm, not for constant motion. You were built for a day that stops, not a life that never does.

What gives every human life value and dignity? Genesis 1:26–31 gives us the answer: we are made in the image of God.

In this message, Ricky Smith explores what it means to be created intentionally by God, to carry His likeness, to live on mission, and to recognize the God-given value of every person. Your worth is not something you earn through success, productivity, appearance, or approval. It is a gift from God because He made you in His image.

Being made in God's image also gives us a mission. Wherever we live, work, learn, and play, we are called to represent our Creator and reflect His character to the world.

Genesis reminds us that God looked at His creation and called it “very good.” That truth changes how we see ourselves, how we see others, and how we live in relationship with the people around us.

You were made on purpose, in the image of God, and for a purpose.

God did not create the world randomly or without purpose. In Genesis 1:14–19, we see God ordering creation, establishing rhythms and seasons, and pointing us toward the greater rest and joy found in Christ.

In this message, Pastor Ricky Smith explores how God orders His creation, ordains our celebration, and offers us rest in Christ. The rhythms God built into creation remind us that we were not designed for endless striving. Our lives have purpose, our time belongs to God, and true rest is ultimately found in Jesus.

Genesis points beyond creation itself to the work God continues to do in the hearts of His people. Just as God commanded light to shine out of darkness, He shines the light of the knowledge of His glory into our hearts through Jesus Christ.

Is your life random, or is there purpose behind it all? In Genesis 1:3–25, we see God bringing light, order, life, and beauty into creation. The world we live in was not formed by accident—it was created and ordered by a sovereign God.

In this message, Ricky Smith walks through the creation account and reminds us that the world you live in is not random, the work you do is not random, and your worth was never tied to your work. Your identity and purpose ultimately come from the God who created you.

Whether you're wrestling with questions about purpose, identity, work, or the meaning of life, Genesis points us back to the Creator who is in control and who brings new life through Jesus Christ.
