Every culture has an origin story that shapes the big worldview of its members down to one’s sense of personal identity. What we believe about origins has impact on our beliefs regarding the very nature of reality. Thus at the head of Scripture it pleased the Lord to demythologize the story of the origins of the universe. Join us as we explore the majesty and care of God on display as we recount how he formed the cosmos with an eye towards that with which he would fill it.

In Scripture we are told many things. From God’s love to the promise of eternal life, everything we believe and know has been revealed to us by God in his Word.

And if he did so intend, then can he be trusted to have communicated to us what actually happened in history? Join us as we explore the length of days in the creation narrative and grow in your confidence in all of God’s Word.
