Intro: 6 Days Video

Don’t worship creation…even though that is our natural, sinful bent. Worship the creator! Jamaica Bay @ Glistening Waters?

Just start with the need? Here’s the interesting thing…you have a theology…

Why we do Doctrine series. Why we are studying creation.

Need: You have a theology of creation.

Your friends have a theology of creation.

Your theology of creation may be…you don’t care. That changes everything!

Different WorldViews of Doctrine of Creation:

Naturalism (Evolution): The entire universe exists from natural causes.

Pantheism: Everything in the universe is the divine.

Panentheism: The divine of the universe is in everything.

Dualism: The universe is the result of good and evil battling it out.

Deism (Theistic Evolution): God created everything and stepped back.

THEISTIC CREATIONISM: God created everything and is in sovereign control.

This changes everything because of identity, purpose, hope

This changes everything because of cutting, homosexuality, suicide

Let’s look at how all this unfolds

OT: Genesis 1:1-2

Ex Nihilo: God created everything out of nothing.

Creation is all about God creating a kingdom

Creation is all about the worship and glory of God. (Job 38:4-7)

Creation is all about the Trinity (where are they? Where is Jesus?)

God creates everything out of nothing.

Days, Time, and Old Earth vs. Young Earth Creationism

God created us in His image

God created us in His image as rulers with dominion.

We have identity, purpose, and hope

But where is the hope? The creation is cursed. Evil present. We die.

NT: What about the WHY? Why did God create by speaking? What He said…

This is a mystery hidden for thousands of years. What, Who, When, Why?

John 1:1 (Jesus is the Word) Colossians 1:15-18 (through and for Jesus)

Jesus is the image of God

Everything was created through Him and for Him

Jesus is the one who brings hope to our identity, purpose, and future

Story: Have you identified with Christ, found your purpose and hope in Him?

Let me introduce you to a student who has, Leslie Rood.
