A Day of Rest

Why did God rest on the seventh day? It seems rather strange, on the face of it. But hopefully in today's sermon we were able to cover some of the pertinent explanations of the final day of Creation week.

At the end of the week...

Our text today was Genesis 1:27-31, the end of chapter one and the end of the creative part of the week for God. There's good foundational truths in these verses that are a part of understanding who God is and what He intended for us.

In the image of God

I only dealt with one verse today, Genesis 1:26. There's a lot there, dealing with the meaning of being made in the image of God. Very important, and there's lots more that we could have added to it. Hopefully this gave some good things to think about as we go further in to the creation account.

And we had some technical difficulties while we were gone, so I'm not going to be able to share the messages from the guest speakers we had the last two weeks. I heard they did a great job though, and hopefully we can have them both out again sometime!

I'll give a little pitch for Jack Dody's ministry, Christian Homesteading. Jack came and shared on March 6th. Check out his website here!

Spoken Into Existence

I think this weeks sermon was a little better than last weeks! ;-)

So today, I spoke about the creation on days 4, 5, and the first part of 6. It's almost humorous how terse and direct the creation account is. One commentator I read talked about how it is the most non-mythical account he's ever come across. Which, I think, has to do with the idea that God really did speak everything into existence. Which means we should see evidence of that. Which, only as it related to some of the things created on those days, I shared about in some amazing scientific descriptions.

Those descriptions came from the excellent website maintained by Answers In Genesis. Here's some links for you to peruse.

The first days of creation

Today we looked at the first three days of creation. It's amazing to think about God's creative power displayed in such a way, calling in to being what is not, simply speaking things into existence.

In the Beginning

A new sermon series! I'm so glad to be getting back to a book. Not that I don't like topical sermons, I think it's good to do those from time to time. I'm just so much more comfortable working through a book, because I believe that's the best way to understand how the Bible fits together, looking at the whole, putting it in context. I've never preached through Genesis before, so I am looking forward to what we will discover. Today, I only wanted to cover the first verse: "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."

The Future of Our Worship

This is the last sermon in the worship series, not because we've exhausted the topic, but because we could probably continue indefinitely. Worship is all-pervading, so I hope this message serves as a good jumping off point for any future discussion of the subject, as well as a challenge to make worship an active part of our lives.

Hopefully you also notice a difference in the sound quality of the recording. We tried hooking up the laptop a different way to the sound system, and it seems better. Let me know what you can think, because we want to try and get a good quality end result for people to listen to. In other words, I would prefer people not want to scratch their ears off trying to listen to a sermon. ;-)
