In these verses, we see the creation of light paralleled to the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives, bringing life through the light of God's Word.

SMALL GROUP QUESTIONS:

What is the significance of God defining a 'day' as an evening and a morning in Genesis 1? How does this impact our interpretation of the creation account?

Do you believe the creation of the universe took 6 literal days? Why or why not?

Do you feel like you regularly allow the Holy Spirit to search your heart and illuminate areas of darkness? If so, how does He do that in your life (I.E., by what process or means)?

How do you reconcile areas of Scripture that seem to conflict with current scientific understanding?

Why would someone choose sin and darkness over righteousness and light?

In what ways has God grown your understanding of what is light (good) and what is darkness (evil)?

Are there any aspects of God, the Bible, or Christianity that are still mysteries to you?

Have you ever, like Job, questioned what God was doing in your life? Do you feel like God responded? If so, how?
