Message #19 – The Creation of All Things (Part 1) – “The Creation of the Universe”

Feb 21, 2021    Pastor Mark Geer    Series: Systematic Theology for Daily Living / Text: Genesis 1-2; Exodus 20:11; Psalm 148:1-14; Isaiah 40:25-26; 45:18; John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:16

Are you ready to have your mind blown (in the greatest of ways) with incredible concepts that will expand our horizons to the ends of the earth and beyond to the farthest galaxies and regions of space!? That is what we are about to do as we set out on a journey into the exploration of The Creation of All Things!

Today's message begins a new category of study for us in our Systematic Theology Series. We will be exploring The Creation of All Things over the next few Sundays and today we begin with The Creation of the Universe.

The study of creation is an incredible topic that brings up a lot of questions (both ancient ones and fresh ones), and challenges us all to give serious consideration to the meaning of life, our purpose here on this planet, and most importantly God's purpose for bringing all things, visible and invisible, into existence.

In this series we will be tackling a number exciting matters dealing with the following:
1) What is the Biblical (Mosaic) account of creation? (Genesis 1-2)
2) How did God created all things? (ex nihilo - out of nothing)
3) How do Scripture and Science relate to one another? (or do they)?
4) Is evolution feasible or not? And what should a Christian's response to it be?
5) Did God create the universe in 6 literal 24-hour days or over a long period of time (including millions of years)?
6) And just how old is the earth? And the human race? (Can we know?)

Our desire for this broader study of Systematic Theology is to take a practical look at the study of God and various elements of biblical and spiritual truth which are designed to help us all understand God and draw us nearer to Him as our Creator and to Jesus Christ as our Savior.
