God’s Fingerprints on Creation (#2)
On Sunday we took the time to specifically highlight Romans 1:20 and how creation declares the glory of God, how his attributes are clearly seen so that people are without excuse. This week, we’d like to take that a bit further and explore more ways we see the fingerprints of God on creation with the advances in technology over the last 50-60 years. Thanks for watching! “God Speaks Through His Creation” (Romans 1:20) “Untangler of Knots: The Amazing Topoisomerase Molecular…

AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY… (GENESIS 2)
We are finishing up the creation week today. Rested. That’s what God did on the seventh day, but it doesn’t mean that he slept. That word though is any important theme carried throughout the rest of Scripture and key when speaking of our salvation.
IN HIS IMAGE FOR HIS GLORY (GENEIS 1)
The book of Genesis is foundational to many key Christian doctrines & theological thoughts. These last few verses of ch. 1 are no exception to that. Trinity, the image & likeness of God, stewardship. We’ll explore all of those briefly today as we draw out the fact that we’ve been uniquely created to glorify him.
FILLING THE AIR & SEA WITH LIFE (GENESIS 1)
What an awesome sight this must have been! I have looked into empty fish tanks, ponds, creek, and birdless skies. God spoke and then there was. Instantly those vast spaces were filled with LIFE! Part of me wonders what the angels said and wishes I could have heard that chorus of praise. We’re talking about the fifth day of creation today. May you stand in awe of God even more!
THE HEAVEN’S DECLARE GOD’S GLORY (GENESIS 1)
Look up to the sky and stand in awe of our God. The heaven’s declare the majesty of God. We’re looking at the celestial lights today which proclaim to us the power and wisdom of God. What a great God we serve who not only created these things in his awesome power but takes care of us each day. Is there anything too difficult for him? I think not!
THE BEAUTY WE SEE FROM NOTHING (GENESIS 1)
Look around you. See the greenery (well if you’re not in a desert or the artic that is)? That is God’s handiwork. The beauty before us was created out of nothing. We’re on day four of the creation story. Again we are brought face to face with the character of God & his creative power. Join us!
GOD’S WISDOM & DESIGN (GENESIS 1)
Look up. See the sky. You you know it’s there, and can see it’s blue. You can’t physically touch it. Yet the atmosphere is part of the wonder of God’s creation. I don’t know that we think about that too much, but on day two, God created the atmosphere. What difference does that make? How does it reflect his sovereignty, wisdom, & creative power? Take a moment to watch.
GOD SAID (GENESIS 1)
We’re on vv. 3-5 today of Genesis 1. What a great set of verses this is and at the same time host to much debate. We’ll discuss that in part today and focus on two words that captured my attention as I read this text. Join us today as we journey through Genesis.
FORMLESS & VOID (GENESIS 1)
The phrase that we read in Genesis 1:2 has led to a host of interpretations, theories, ideas, and conclusion. We’re going to explore them a bit today and talk about what we see in the context. Ultimately we take away though that God has taken something uninhabitable and made it life-supporting and filled it with life which we’ll explore in the coming weeks. As we read v. 2, we might make another spiritual connection. What is it? Watch to find…
CREATING SOMETHING NEW (PSALM 51)
I spend time in my garage creating various projects from wood often for my home. I thank the Lord for that skill set that I have attained over the years. What is beyond me though is dealing with the sin problem within me. David acknowledges that in Psalm 51. A heart that is morally degraded needs a solution beyond our power. The word that begins v. 10 with though contains special significance for us in this great psalm.
CREATED IN HIS IMAGE (PURPOSE & IDENTITY)
Genesis 1:26 on the image and likeness of God is a debated verse yet very important to our purpose and identity as those among the other created things of the universe. As we discuss the “image of God,” we find that this is key to separating us from the rest of creation. It gives us meaning and purpose for our lives. It speaks to our uniqueness.
ABOUT MORE THAN CREATION
As I was purposing to continue in the subject of anthropology a bit more today, I kept coming back to the first few chapters of Genesis. Those first three chapters are about more than just creation. Within them we find truth on creation, gender/identity, marriage, sin, salvation, and more. If we cannot take any part of those chapters literally, what authority does the Bible have in any one of those areas or the Bible as a whole in our lives?
TWO VERY DIFFERENT CONCLUSIONS
Anthropology. The study of man. And if you do a quick Google search, it is a vast conglomeration of subjects that fall under this umbrella. What we are concerned about primarily is Christian Anthropology or the study of man as God presents it to use in the Bible. As we begin looking at it, we must go back to the beginning. How one views the beginning has significant ramifications for the present and the rest of what the Bible has…
CREATIONS SPEAKS – ROMANS 1
The book of Romans is a great book with a variety of content. Paul speaks about creation, salvation, the Christian life, God’s plan for Israel, and so much more. Chapter one contains some great verses but also a very solemn message.
