Reading from Genesis 1:1-2:4 (NLT) ~The Account of Creation~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. God preparing a place for us to live. The poetic nature of the account. The significant break in the story to tell us that we are made in His image. The constancy of God, the power of His word, goodness defined, and showing us a rhythm of life. God had the power and strength to do more in one day but took the time to stop and appreciate what He just made. The day of rest is the day God declared Holy.
