Genesis 1:1

Summary: This Sunday we’ll consider just how much significance a single verse of scripture can contain, specifically those famous words: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” As we prepare to look at Genesis 1 and 2 in more detail in the weeks ahead, we begin with a broad overview of the massive difference the doctrine of creation makes to our view of God, our view of humanity, our view of the physical world, and our view of the future. In all these areas, Genesis 1:1 sets the Biblical worldview apart from many other competing perspectives. It also lays the essential foundation for the rest of the story of scripture and what Christ has come to accomplish; namely, to make all things right again as God created them to be.
