What is God's purpose for creating and saving human beings?  Titus 2 says that it is "to purify for himself a people for his own possession."  God’s plan is to have a people who walk with Him. To accomplish that goal, God makes a covenant with Abraham.  God makes an oath that He will bless Abraham and through him bless the nations.  Jesus is the fulfillment of that covenant.

Genesis 11 tells the story of the tower of Babel.  Man attempted to reach God or become a god through making a great city and tall tower.  How did God respond?  He confused their language.  Why?  What did this have to do with God's overarching plan for saving His people?
7 C's of History

Genesis 6 through 9 tells the story of a great flood.  We typically refer to it as "Noah's ark" and it is often used as a children's story.  However, it is actually one of the most disturbing stories in the Bible.  It is a story of God's judgment against mankind for their sin.  Almost the entire human race is wiped out.  It is also a story of salvation by grace: God saves Noah and his family.  What do we learn about God and how He views and responds to sin?  What does this tell us about the judgment that is coming?  How can we be saved from God's judgment?

What is a worldview?  It is how we view and understand the world around us; how we live our lives in light of our worldview.  It is how we answer the big questions about God, humanity, life, death: Why is there evil in the world?  Suffering?  Death?  What is our biggest problem and what is the solution? 
Genesis 3 helps us answer these important questions.  God reveals the nature of sin in relation to Him.  He reveals Himself as the righteous Judge who deals with those who sin against Him.  He also displays His mercy and gives mankind hope for salvation.

Psalm 11:3 (ESV) says “if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” The foundations of our society are being destroyed, what can we do? The Psalmist takes refuge in God. We need to see the world from God’s perspective and seek to live by God’s commands and principles.  We’re looking at the 7 C’s of history: Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Covenant, Cross, Consummation. As we continue to look at creation, we learn about the unique place of mankind in God's plan and how God wants us to live.

According to the Biblical Worldview Institute, "a biblical Worldview is an overarching view of the world based on God's revealed truth, the Bible, which directs our life in this world. It shapes our beliefs about God, Creation, Humanity, Moral Order, and Purpose." 

• God – To whom or what do I ultimately answer?
• Creation – What comprises reality?
• Humanity – Who am I, and how did I get here?
• Moral Order – How do I determine right and wrong?
• Purpose – Is there a reason and purpose for my existence?

Genesis 1 helps us answer these important questions and will help us shape a worldview based on God's Word and not the world's philosophy.

Jesus had to die to deliver us from our greatest enemies: the Devil and death.  He delivered us from the fear of death through death.  He died that we might live forever!

Why did Jesus have to die?

Why did Jesus have to die?  To demonstrate God's love. 
Do you feel loved?  Do you believe that you are loved?  Do you believe that your family loves you?  What about your spouse or friends?  Do you believe that God loves you?
We should never doubt God's love for us.  He loved us so much that He sent His only begotten Son to save us by His death.
