This week Pastor David Kite taught the second (and final) part of our mini-series called, Formed and Filled. We see how in Genesis, the Creation account continues in days 4-6 how God filled His Creation. Where last week we asked where is darkness taking up too much space, this week we ask how are you filling that empty space? Our lives very rarely allow us to have empty space; we fill it with something. How are you filling it?

This week Pastor Kite started our mini-series in Genesis 1. He spoke on the first half of the chapter Genesis 1:1-13 where the first 3 days of creation are outlined. In this part of creation God is creating form out of the formless, creating space for the rest of creation to grow and be. He does the same thing for us through His word. He breaks through the chaos to create space for us to live abundant and fulfilled lives. Where is darkness in your life taking up too much space?
