November 17, 2019 • Genesis 3

Creation - Genesis 1 and 2
November 10, 2019 • Genesis 1—2
As the Creation account unfolds, the world explodes with the generosity and hospitality of the Almighty Creator. With an abundance beyond what we could imagine, God spoke everything into being. His others-centered love is not a keeping love, but a sharing love. On the 6th day, God creates mankind in His image. He created them with the capacity for fellowship and community with Himself and each other. He places mankind over all creation and crowned him with glory and honor. There existed perfect joy, perfect peace, and perfect love as mankind dines with their Creator who set a generous table before them.
