GOD’S MASTERPIECE: HUMANITY

Genesis 2:4-25

Chapter two zooms in on the garden…

…showing that we were created:

– in God’s image

– male and female

– to jointly rule over creation, and

– to enjoy the presence of God

But this chapter of Genesis also leaves hints that sin will soon break these things…

Preacher: Stephen Young

The LORD is God, there is no other

Deuteronomy 4:1-40 (Reading v23-40)

 

The Lord is God – there is no other  v39

• God who is ‘a jealous God’ v24

• God who is a ‘merciful God’ v31

  

Listen to the Lord your God

 

(Preacher: Steve Blencowe)

The God of Creation

Genesis 1:1-2:3

(Col 1:15-17; Rev 21:1-5)

  

What is the point of Genesis 1?

–       The heavens, the earth… and the deep? (vv. 1-2)

God forms and fills the earth by his powerful Word, Jesus

 

Jesus conquers ‘the deep’ and will soon bring heaven to earth!

Preacher: Stephen Young

Make it Count

2 Peter 1:1-11

A reminder from an apostle with limited time  

You have everything you need through your knowledge of Jesus  

So do not be ineffective or unfruitful in your knowledge of Jesus 

Make it count… a bit at a time… starting today

(Preacher: Steve Blencowe)

Resist the prowling devil
