Rev. David Duke, pastor of Concordia Lutheran Church in Newfane & St. John Lutheran Church in Youngstown, NY joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Genesis 1.

“In the beginning” is not only the start of a new book, but connects everything together. The Lord of all creation is connected to everything in the world, in Scripture, and our salvation in Christ. As the Lord saw His creation as good, we are brought back to the love that the Lord pours into His salvation (John 3:16). He rules over everything and has given us our identity as a blood bought, new creation, in Him. And it is good—very good! “Heavenly Father, in love You created the world, created humanity in Your image, and made us a new creation in Christ. Grant us a renewed understanding of our identities as a new creation to live under Your kingdom and serve You in everlasting righteousness, innocence, and blessedness. Amen”
