Unshaken: Chapter a Day

Genesis 1: From Chaos to Order


Listen Later

The opening words of Scripture—"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth"—set the stage for everything that follows. Three pastors dive deep into Genesis 1, unpacking theological gems hiding in plain sight within this familiar creation account.

Why did light exist before the sun? What does it mean that humans are made "in God's image"? And who exactly is the mysterious "us" in "Let us make mankind in our image"? These questions lead to fascinating discussions about God's nature, humanity's purpose, and the divine blueprint for civilization.

Perhaps most compelling is the exploration of the cultural mandate—God's first commission to humanity. The Hebrew word for "subdue" (kibosh) reveals our call to bring divine order to chaos, just as God did in creation itself. This isn't about exploitation but cultivation, transforming our spheres of influence into spaces where life can flourish according to God's design.

Whether you're wrestling with questions about creation timelines, the Trinity's presence in Genesis, or simply seeking to understand your purpose as God's image-bearer, this conversation offers fresh perspective on Scripture's foundation. The pastors skillfully balance scholarly insight with practical application, showing how an ancient text continues to provide guidance for ordered, purposeful living in today's chaotic world.

Ready to discover how bringing divine order to your relationships, work, and personal life fulfills your purpose as God's representative on earth? Listen now and join us on this journey through Scripture—one chapter at a time.
