God Created the Heavens & the Earth - Part I

Gen 1:1-2:3

It’s here—creation according to Genesis 1, a passage that has frustrated and fascinated the people of God for millennia.

I hope that you’ve been reading, thinking about, and illustrating this passage all week, but now it is time to put our heads together. This Sunday we’ll attempt to read Genesis 1 as it was meant to be read—with ancient eyes. We will get into the terms, the ideas, and the literary structure and hope to come away understanding the creation week.

As always, bring your friends, warm clothes, and join us for worship on the lawn!

The Heavens Declare the Glory of God

January 17, 2021 • Rev. Josh Hahne

Almost 700 years before the birth of Christ, the Greek poet Archilochus said, “The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.” This week we will seek to know one big thing - God is the creator. A great deals follows from this one truth, but after our time on Sunday I hope we will, at least, be all the more ready to recognize this world as the Lord’s and perceive the ways in which it declares his glory. Bring a friend, a blanket, and a Bible and join us for worship on the lawn! Pastor Josh

O Lord, how manifold are you works!

January 24, 2021 • Rev. Josh Hahne

We've just begun a new sermon series on Genesis, and are considering God as creator. Psalm 104 follows Genesis 1 and celebrates God's creative work with verse and song. It is a fitting place for us to begin our thinking about creation and provides us with language to use in our worship of the creator God. Sunday is going to be chilly. Bundle up, grab a hot coffee, and join us for worship on the lawn. Pastor Josh

God Created the Heavens & the Earth - Part II

February 7, 2021 • Rev. Josh Hahne

Last week we focused on reading Genesis 1:1-2:3 carefully. We sought to slow down, interact with, and even illustrate the passage. This Sunday, we will ask how we should understand it. We will think about its meaning first in an ancient context for the original audience—Israelites who had been rescued from slavery in Egypt. Second, we will consider what this foundational passage means for us, as modern scientific people. See you on Sunday… Pastor Josh
