Podcasts about genesis 1

In this syndicated episode, The Biblical Mind features the inaugural release of The Bible Bar, a new podcast from Bar-Ilan University hosted by Dr. Joshua Berman. The first episode dives into one of the most debated chapters in Scripture: Genesis 1. Dr. Berman welcomes eminent Assyriologist and Old Testament scholar Lawson Younger to explore how the biblical creation account relates to ancient Near Eastern cosmogonies and theogonies. What makes Genesis similar to Egyptian and Mesopotamian creation stories—and what makes it radically different? Younger explains how ancient Near Eastern cultures viewed creation and divinity as intertwined, where sun, moon, rivers, and mountains were themselves gods. In contrast, Genesis 1 insists on a Creator wholly distinct from creation. The world is not divine—it is spoken into being. The conversation explores Tiamat and tehom, the image of God, the Memphite Theology, and the striking emphasis on divine speech. Rather than offering a scientific account, Genesis answers a different question altogether: Who is the Creator, and what does that mean for humanity? Listeners are encouraged to subscribe to The Bible Bar as it works chapter-by-chapter through the Torah.

This week, we continued in our God Story series and heard from Nathan Riehl!

If you've ever wondered why life feels beautiful and broken at the same time…this message is for you.Starting in Gospel of Luke 24 and walking all the way back to Genesis, we trace the story Jesus says we often miss: the whole Bible is about Him. Not moral heroes to copy. Not disconnected stories. But one unfolding rescue...from a good God, in a good world, shattered by a terrible lie…and pursued by relentless grace.Why do we hide? Why do we blame? Why do we try to fix ourselves with success, religion, or control, only to feel more exhausted? Because, like Adam and Eve, we've believed something about God that isn't true. And that lie still shapes our fear, shame, and striving today.But the story doesn't end in the garden.In the middle of our rebellion, God comes looking: “Where are you?”He provides a covering.He makes a promise.And He sends a Child who would be wounded—but would ultimately crush the serpent.This isn't abstract theology. It's hope for hospital rooms. Hope for grief. Hope for anxiety. Hope for the moments when you're walking through disappointment and wondering where God is.If you're tired of trying to be your own savior…If suffering has made you question whether God is really good…If you long for home, wholeness, and peace…Come see how the Gospel didn't begin in Matthew. It began in a garden and it changes how you walk through yours today.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:1. What do you learn about God's character from Genesis 1-3?2. What subtle lie about God is easiest for you to believe? Especially in times of stress, suffering, or disappointment?3. Adam and Eve try to cover their shame with fig leaves. Do you ever wear a mask to protect yourself or hide the broken parts of you? What is that mask or “fig leaf?”4. How does seeing Jesus as “The Greater Adam” shape the way you understand yourself? (Rom 5:6-21)5. If you took 1 thing away from this study/reflection what would it be, why?+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL

This is part 6 in our Genesis 1-11 series. Pastor Thom preached from Genesis 2: 10-17 at Springbrook Church in Antigo, WI.

Genesis 1

Genesis 1

Genesis 1-11 provide the foundation for the Christian worldview. Understanding how God made the universe and why He made it as He did sets the stage for the rest of Scripture and gives Christians clarity on how to approach the issues of our day. Genesis 1 gives us insight to God, His creation, and how we are supposed to live.

This episode of the Mountain Podcast centers on the biblical call to “multiply,” drawing from Genesis 1, Matthew 28, and Luke 10 to emphasize that every believer is called not only to follow Jesus but to actively make disciples through love, obedience, and everyday faithfulness. Samuel explains that spiritual fruitfulness is a natural result of a healthy relationship with God and challenges listeners to move beyond passive consumption of church services into intentional participation in the Great Commission—praying for others, sharing faith, practicing obedience, and showing compassion in practical ways. Through teachings on discipleship, humility, and the Good Samaritan, the message reframes multiplication as living out Christlike love in daily life, trusting God to reshape priorities, prune distractions, and mobilize believers to serve their families, workplaces, and communities with grace and courage.

What would it look like to reimagine our teaching as good work and see our students as made in God's image? Dive into Scripture and practical discussion with Kristi Schliep and Missy Takano, staff members at Black Forest Academy in Germany. "What God did at creation, He invited His people to then partner in that same kind of work." -Kristi "Human good work is like God's good work; it's intended to carry this same bringing order from the raw materials, creating space where life can flourish, carrying out God's rule and reign and intentions in the world for the blessing of others." -Missy "Humanity rebelled and that brought fracturing and brokenness into the created design, but it didn't undo the created design and it didn't undo the invitation to good work." -Missy "Sometimes we get caught up in viewing kids through the lens of Genesis 3, rather than remembering the original design." -Kristi "It matters that we acknowledge that our students are touched by the brokenness of the world, but that's not the full story." -Kristi "My job is to be faithful to cultivate the ground, and I'm going to have to trust that that season of fruitfulness may not be in the timing that I anticipate." -Kristi "When we acknowledge that God is the source of all things and He has invited us to participate, it's such a fun tension to live in because He is going to provide - He's going to provide all that we need, He's going to be the one to cultivate Genesis 1 in that classroom - and He invites us to participate." -Kristi "When students know that you are delighting in them, they will absolutely join you and engage." -Kristi "Recognizing our need for rest helps us to continue persisting in that Genesis 1 perspective." -Missy "[You] get to announce that the King is here in the way that [you] live in your classroom, and that's holy work." -Kristi "You're not alone. Your work is good. It's holy and sacred work. The students are the images of God. The same Spirit who hovered over the waters indwells you, so you are empowered for the work that God has called you to." -Missy Listen to Missy and Kristi on the Restoried podcast!

God didn't just create once and walk away; He is continually creating, sustaining every leaf, every breath, every moment. And that same creative presence is available to you right now.

From the very beginning, God created man and woman with purpose and unity in mind. In this powerful message, Pastor Jeff Schreve shares how marriage was designed to reflect Christ and the Church, how families thrive when built on God's truth, and why following His design leads to joy, peace, and lasting love.

Carmen LaBerge opens the Monday Mailbag to offer perspective over the recent controversy over unsavory videos shared on the President's social media account.  Why are we angry about videos that depicted former Presidents and Mrs. Obama in what many see as racist ways?  Bioethicist and theologian Scott Stiegemeyer, author of "Responding to Transgenderism in Light of God's Word," helps us look at transgender ideology, how does that go against both God's word and creation's design.   The Reconnect with Carmen and all Faith Radio podcasts are made possible by your support.

Created in the image of God, male and female reflect His divine purpose and unity. Join Pastor Jeff Schreve as he unpacks God's blueprint for gender, identity, and family—showing how our differences by design reveal His wisdom, complement His creation, and uphold the foundation of marriage.

Genesis is less about origins and more about authority. From creation by God's word to humanity made as His image, we see a world shaped by purpose and design. But the story quickly shifts with the Fall - not just a moral failure, but a spiritual rebellion that questions God's authority. Join us as we begin our journey through Genesis and uncover the story that sets the foundation for all of Scripture.

This week, we continue our progression through the first chapter in Genesis with a focus on Genesis 1:26-31. In this passage, Kevin unpacks what is referred to as the 'cultural mandate': God's commission for man to multiply and subdue the earth. What does healthy dominion over the earth look like? What is the value and purpose of man's work in the world? How does seeing all of our work as something commissioned by God, to be done as unto Him, change the way we engage our own jobs and vocations?

This is part 5 in our Genesis 1-11 series. Pastor Thom preached from Genesis 1:27 & 2:18-22 at Springbrook Church in Antigo, WI.

Jon Benz continues our series Origins 

Pastor Jared Richard begins this sermon by comparing the recent harsh winter weather in North Carolina to humanity's spiritual condition outside the Garden of Eden. Using Genesis 1:26-27 and Genesis 2:18-25, he explains that God created humans in His image to live in deep, life-giving relationships. Since God exists eternally in relationship as Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—we as His image bearers were designed for community and connection. The pastor emphasizes that "it is not good for man to be alone" (Genesis 2:18), showing that we need relationships with God, with creation, and especially with other human beings who are both similar to and different from us.   Pastor Jared highlights marriage as the foundational human relationship, where "male and female" (Genesis 1:27) come together in complementary unity, reflecting God's own nature. He describes the original state of Adam and Eve as "naked and not ashamed" (Genesis 2:25), representing perfect intimacy without fear of rejection. However, sin has affected all relationships, creating shame and fear that drive us toward isolation. The solution comes through Christ, who died naked and shamed on the cross to remove our shame, enabling us to be fully known by God and accepted. When our relationship with God is restored through Jesus, all other relationships can begin to reflect the gospel's grace and truth.   WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

1 Peter 3:15 The post Genesis 1-11 The Foundation For Everything appeared first on Calvary Chapel Chino Hills.

Most people read the Creation story looking for how the world was made. But the scriptures are more interested in why it was made and who made it. Are you missing the temple hidden within the pages of Genesis? Summary: In this episode, we bridge the gap between Genesis, Moses, and Abraham to uncover the deep doctrine of the Creation. We move beyond the "scientific" debates to discover a "visionary" account of our divine origins. The 3-Story Creation: We analyze the "Cosmic Temple" by looking at the three layers of creation: the "Lower" (physical world), "Middle" (the Garden/Temple), and "Upper" (the presence of God). Spirit Before Temporal: We explore the vital truth that all things were created "spiritually, before they were naturally upon the face of the earth". Identity and Image: We discuss what it truly means to be created "in the image of God," and how our gender is an essential characteristic of our eternal identity. The Power of the Sabbath: We learn why the Seventh Day isn't just a day off, but a day of "rest" where we enter into a covenant relationship with the Creator . Agency in Creation: In the Abrahamic account, we see that the Gods did not just command, they "watched those things which they had ordered until they obeyed". Call-to-Action: How does knowing you were created "spiritually" before you were here change how you face your "natural" trials today? Share your thoughts in the comments!
