and
‘Let him depart from lack of goodness,
each one who names the name of the Lord.’”

SERMON NOTES--What the Bible Says About the Origin of Things, Part 2

HOW SHOULD I LIVE? PART 7
Pastor Charlie
August 27, 2006

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1).

“Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell Me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?” (Job 38:4-7, NIV).

GOD IN RELATION TO EVERYTHING

GOD IS THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING.
Genesis 1, 2; John 1:1-3; Deuteronomy 4:32; Isaiah 40:28; 42:5; Mark 10:6; 13:19; 1 Peter 4:19; Revelation 10:6

GOD IS THE SUSTAINER OF EVERYTHING.
Nehemiah 9:6; Colossians 1:17

GOD IS THE OWNER OF EVERYTHING.
Psalm 24:1; Job 41:11; Acts 17:24-33

WHEN PEOPLE REJECT GOD
1. If people reject God as creator, they will make creation their god. Romans 1:22-23
2. If people reject God as the sustainer, they become the sustainer and self is the center of the universe.
3. If people reject God as owner, they make themselves the owner and give themselves permission to do whatever they want.


CREATION SPEAKS


- Creation declares God’s greatness. Isaiah 40:12-13, 15
- Creation expresses God’s wisdom and understanding. Proverbs 3:19; Psalm 104:24
- Creation reveals God’s character. Romans 1:20; Psalm 19:1-4


INSIGHTS ABOUT US

- We cannot figure everything out. Ecclesiastes 11:5; Isaiah 55:9
- We cannot understand without faith. Hebrews 11:3; Revelation 4:11; Psalm 148:5; 33:8-9; Daniel 4:34-35
