There’s a lot more in Genesis 1:3 than first meets the eye. In this episode, Pastor Biebert leads you in meditating on God’s transcendence, that he is separate from his creation; his immanence, that he is close to his creation; and his personality, that he is not just some powerful, impersonal force.
