Sermon Series: Lessons in Genesis
Scripture Title: In the Beginning
Pastor Greg Wiest
Scripture Reading: Genesis 1:1-5 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.”
Sermon Summary:
In Genesis Chapter 1 we are taken back to the beginning of all things in the world. God is eternal with no beginning and no end. In the beginning God created the heavens in the earth. God created everything in the universe out of nothing. With just His spoken Word, God created light and caused it to illuminate the darkness. God simply says something and it becomes a reality. God brings order from chaos. God separates light from darkness and land from the sea. He creates some creatures for the land and some for the water and some to inhabit the skies. He provides food for all the animals. God made humans in His image. After each day of creation, Genesis 1 repeats the phrase that “God saw that it was good.” After God made man in His image, Genesis concludes in verse 31, “God saw all that he made, and it was very good.”
Genesis 1 gives us a few guiding principles for navigating through Scripture and through life itself. First, everything begins and ends with God. God is sovereign and the causation of all that happens on the earth. Second, we live and have our existence according to God’s design. Life is precious to the Lord and also to us. Every human being matters to the Lord and we should view other humans as God sees them. Third, because God is the source of everything, he deserves our worship and adoration. We are to praise God and give Him all the Glory. Lastly, God brings light to darkness. If you are in spiritual darkness, God will bring you into the light and give you eternal life if you come to faith in Christ.
