Sermon on Genesis 1:1--2:4a. This is the first sermon in our fall sermon series called Blessings of God.As we kick off the fall, we'll look at the foundational stories of Israel through the lens of gratitude and blessing. With each step of the journey taken by God's people, they encounter another blessing God offers them. Some are obvious; others are disguised by circumstance. Through this series, we'll begin to see the blessings God gives us today.In this sermon, we explore how as God's image bearers, we are stewards of God's creation, called to love God's world and one another.
The creation story in the Bible is filled with God's proclamations of good. He created and it was good! Learning to embrace God's proclamation that you are good and made in his image is healthy and necessary for all of us.
Tom Hoyle goes over history of the United States of America and the beliefs of the founding fathers.
When we open our Bibles to Genesis, most of us—especially as Westerners, bring a question to the text: "How was the world made?" We want mechanics, timelines, and blueprints. However, that is not what the original audience was asking. They were not modern scientists—they were ancient worshipers, living in a world full of temples, gods, and cosmic drama. Genesis 1 was written into that world—a world filled with creation myths from Egypt, Babylon, and Canaan. Today, I want to walk us through the creation account in Genesis 1 and 2 through Ancient Near Eastern eyes, so we can hear what they heard, feel what they felt, and worship the way they would have.
How to Hear God: Creation - Simon Benham - 13.04.25
Scripture: Genesis 1:1-2:3 Key Takeaways: “Today as I read Genesis 1–2 my thoughts go to high school biology and physics. How does the biblical depiction of creation relate to the big bang theory and evolution? No doubt, Genesis 1–2 has bearing on our evaluation of these modern scientific accounts of cosmic and human origins. But a moment's thought will jar us into remembering that this comparison would not have occurred to ancient authors and readers. It is certain that the biblical account of creation was not written to counter Charles Darwin or Stephen Hawking, but it was written in the light of rival descriptions of creation...Since God's people were constantly tempted to worship the deities of other nations, we shouldn't be surprised that the biblical accounts of creation were shaped in such a way as to provide a clear distinction from those of other nations.” – Tremper Longman III, How to Read Genesis + Creation is God bringing cosmos out of chaos + Creation is framing and filling + Creation is God revealing himself Romans 1:20 - Declares the glory of God Psalm 19:1-2 - Displays the wisdom of God + Creation is God's good gift to us + God brings about the new creation like he brought about the first creation 2 Corinthians 4:4-6

As we tell the Story of God in our next teaching series, we thought it'd be fun to spend time on the podcast diving into some of the recurring themes and tracing how they're mentioned throughout the Bible so that we can understand that God's story didn't just happen... it's still happening in our lives. In this first week, Hunter and Garrick talk about John Grisham, Genesis 1:1-2:3, and how being creative is more than just a vocational call.
"Creation ex nihlilo (creation out of nothing) or "Ex nihilo nihil fit" (from nothing comes from nothing)?The notion of a creator God is fundamental to Western religions. But is it true? The opening of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible, studied so long and hard by the Kabbalists suggests so, and the Big Bang theory gave reason for many to believe the cosmological argument for God (everything that began to exist has a cause). But the newest scientific data suggests something preceded the Big Bang. And in our secular age, many prefer to follow the science, rightly so.Planet Earth, the sun, our galaxy, and the universe itself, like all of us, is headed for the graveyard. But cycles of nature appear everywhere. Could this also be true of the universe itself? Does the universe resurrect? This episode explores the question in detail. Support the show

How are God and creation connected? Are humans innately divine? These and other questions will be addressed in this reflection on Christian theism in comparison with pantheism and deism. Implications for spiritual practice will also be emphasized.
Scripture Reference: John 1:1-3 Of all the ways in which Christian distinguish themselves from the pagan religions around us, the doctrine of creation stands near the top. What is a human being's relationship to the world around them? How do we properly understand our place in God's creation, as it's Lord and Maker?

I tried to draw or recreate it but I'm a shit drawer. Let me know what you think! Thank you to my uncle for such insight to think about! P.S. Emunah means “faith” --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fgoldbuster/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/fgoldbuster/support
THIS IS EPISODE 100!! Woo Hooo! Thank You Listeners in Podcast Land!!! There is 4,200 religions recognized as of 2022, with a different GOD or GODS. THE GOD may be you, or an alien, or a man that walked the earth, or a handful of Gods over certain aspects of life. Or, many other variations. Among these various beliefs is differing opinions about what happens after death. With so many choices, how does one select the right option? Some will say you must have faith. Ok, on to the other aspects covered. Energy never dies, it simply transforms. But with consciousness or a soul, where does that end up? Prophecy & Prophets are in many written text. This would infer determinism, or a set path everything must play out for said prophecy to occur. In turn that discards free-will. Many people don't take this into account. But, it is a construct worth looking at. Thoughts & personality come from your brain says science. Trillions of neurons wired together receiving electric impulses through the synapse account for everything we do and think. But there is soul or spirit in most religion. Is that the defining spark of life? What about intuition, or that voice that comes to us in meditation, prayer, or a split second decision? Could it be our spirit connecting with the higher source...GOD? The matrix of our world is one dimension we use 5 senses to navigate. Humans operate in a very specific range with all these senses. Animals for example have wildly different forms of these senses, just not the same brain capacity as us. What if we had say infrared vision or super hearing/smelling? Would we see other beings around us, or hear sounds...maybe voices that would scare us? Possibly we were created tuned to these specific ranges so we don't have information overload & go crazy! GOD is jealous, petty, prideful, insecure, and judgmental in many religious writings. Also he likes to be worshipped. Oh and he needs you to plant seeds of money so you can prosper. It is amazing how this turns in to mega rich churches, pastors, & gurus. This isn't in all views of GOD. The ones that use these techniques definitely should be further examined instead of followed with blind faith. This is an obvious technique many people use to brainwash followers while enriching themselves. Many people need to look into the roots of their faith. Where did it originate, translations, connections between other faiths, and is there obvious re-writings? Where did humans come from? Evolution or creation? What time period? It's easy to get caught up in science theory or religious theory on this one. You have to be willing to look outside your current box of thinking in this area to find real answers. With so many theories (best guesses) how do we really find truth!? Dan from "the Human Factor" podcast joins me to discuss these thought provoking questions. We both respect everyones believe system whether religious, or scientific. Of course we have some of our own beliefs. I encourage everyone not to get caught in dogma. Its a trap. A box. Once you're in you observe everyone or everything else as automatically wrong. This only starts fights & wars. We have certainly seen this throughout history. Enjoy this one, & take care!

For thousands of years, people have debated what it means to be made in the image of God. Is it a specific characteristic, a physical attribute, or is it a combination of both? What if we have been asking the wrong questions? Is the image of God merely a virtue we are given or is it a vocation? If it's the latter then we have some serious work to do. Either way, let's look at how the Image of God is used throughout the Biblical story to see if we can discern its meaning.
