Today we explore how this understanding of creation both reveals a God who is committed to the role of human involvement in the created order as well as the introduction of the greatest threat to the created order, authentic human freew...

Today, Pastors Clint and Michael begin with the second creation story of Genesis which is clearly connected to the first but yet distinctive in both its focus and tone. While the first story tells a cosmic creation story marked by order and precision, this second story immediately introduces us to a God who is willing to descend to the dirt and muck of the earth to bestow life (and breath) to crea...

In six days God makes everything, on the seventh he rests.

God creates all living things, first those things that fly, then those things that crawl upon the earth. But it isn't just God's action that matters, it is the implication. God made all things with the intention that they would flourish and grow. In other words, God made the world with a spirit of abundance and ongoing fulfillment. This is not only different from the competing ancient creation sto...

In five short verses God creates a universe of order by separating light from darkness and the sea from the air. Today we learn that creation reveals a God whose very word establishes the boundary between chaos and order, and that it is the same God who reveals himself in Jesus Christ that invites us to a new life of righteousness and hope. Be sure to share this with anyone who you think might be...
