The Wilderness E2 — In the Bible, the wilderness is an uninhabitable, hostile place for human life. And in the creation narratives of Genesis 1 and 2, the wilderness symbolically represents the chaos of a pre-creation state. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the wilderness language in the creation narrative and how it contrasts with Eden, God's oasis of beauty, order, and abundance.CHAPTERSRecap on the Meaning of the Wilderness (0:00-9:16)Pre-Creation Wilderness and the Eden Oasis (9:16-40:27)Wilderness and Eden Imagery in the Prophets (40:27-57:32)OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPTView this episode's official transcript.REFERENCED RESOURCESCheck out Tim's extensive collection of recommended books here.You can view annotations for this episode—plus our entire library of videos, podcasts, articles, and classes—in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.SHOW MUSIC“Break Bread” by Lofi Sunday, Oly.Lo“Refuge ft.

We were created for community because at the heart of God himself is togetherness. From Genesis to Acts, we see that loneliness fractures us, but in Christ, God is reconciling us back to himself and to one another. This message explores the tensions the early church held—Word and Spirit, gathering and scattering, holiness and hospitality, communal and missional—and invites us to live them out at our own tables today.Check out the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.Support the show

Man's nature and purpose are not according to the autonomous will of man but determined, ordained, and commanded by the sovereignty of God. A biblical worldview affirms the sovereignty of God over all of creation, including man, but the world claims that each person has total autonomy, independent of any authority. Genesis 1:26-31 testifies to the creation of man and man's nature and purpose.In the sermon from Genesis 1:26-31, Pastor Ben explains that God's creation of man demands that you honor every human life as God's image bearer, be a good steward of God's creation, and submit to God's authority to create and command.Find Out More:Ben Smith is the pastor of Central Baptist Church, Waycross, GA.Additional podcasts, books, and downloadable PDFs of Pastor Ben's sermon outlines and manuscripts are available at http://bensmithsr.org.You can find information about Central Baptist Church at cbcwaycross.org.Special thanks to David Carnes for his beautiful rendition of This Is My Father's World from the album Journey… a Praise Offering.

But come on. Isn't it really 6 days? In 6 days, God shows us a way of creating in “yes AND” mode–constantly making space for what is breathtakingly new without destroying or diluting what was there. A mode of creation that is exponential-where creatures themselves are meant to create, and life begets life, and every single life supports another. What does it mean for us to be made in the image of THIS kind of God? And seriously, with all the work there is to do in the world, how can rest be so important to creation that we count the 7th day in with the others?

Genesis chapter one is the testimony of creation. By God's authority, out of His will, and according to His command, He created all things.As with all of scripture, Genesis chapter one is a testimony of God that reveals His authority, will, and nature. It is not a story about men but a testimony to who God is and how He is working.Genesis chapter one does not answer every detail you may wish were included. There are many questions about how God accomplished His work that are left unanswered. Not the least of which is how God created all that is from nothing. In His perfect providence, God has given us His word to declare that He is the author and creator of all things while leaving unanswered the mysteries that the mind of man cannot conceive. Genesis chapter one is a foundational text for a Christian worldview and many of the most fundamental doctrines. From Genesis chapter one, Pastor Ben Smith preaches on how God's creation forms how Christians understand God and all that He has made.Find Out More:Ben Smith is the pastor of Central Baptist Church, Waycross, GA.Additional podcasts, books, and downloadable PDFs of Pastor Ben's sermon outlines and manuscripts are available at http://bensmithsr.org.You can find information about Central Baptist Church at cbcwaycross.org.This sermon was originally preached on 8/17/2025.Special thanks to David Carnes for his beautiful rendition of This Is My Father's World from the album Journey… a Praise Offering.

Bible Bus Tour: Let there be Victory (Genesis 1:1-2) Dr. Jeff LaBorg
By comparing Genesis 1:1-18 with John 1:1-18 we can understand that the two chapters are describing different events.There are a few words that are common to both Genesis 1 and John 1, like "in, beginning, light, and darkness", but the words have a different meaning than in Genesis.Many key words which are in Genesis 1:1-5 which are not in John 1:1-5: created, heavens, earth, waters, face of the deep, spirit of God, hovering, evening, morning, day, night, first day Many key words in John 1:1-5 which are not in Genesis 1:1-5: word, with God, he (that one) was in the beginning with God, all (things), through him, life, light of men, overcome/comprehend. Then, in verses 6-18, everything is different.John 1 has a different context, describes different events, than Genesis 1. https://www.youtube.com/@billschlegel1"In the beginning was..." Or, John 1:1 is not about the Genesis Creation. https://youtu.be/b8sKQC63ESYA Non-Genesis Creation Interpretation of John 1:3-4https://youtu.be/N3rcP42KWhc

Midweek Bible Study (Genesis 1:11-19) Richie Beeler
In this sermon from Genesis 1:1–2:3, we begin our journey through the book of Genesis by looking at the creation account. When God's people were wandering in the wilderness, Moses reminded them of the one true Creator—the God who is eternal, powerful, orderly, and creative. Most importantly, this God gives His people worth as image-bearers.Listen in as we see that God is the good Creator, making everything from nothing for His good pleasure, and discover how that truth still gives hope and confidence today.
