God Brings Life [Genesis 1:1-2:3]

Topic Description
God Brings Life

Genesis 1:1-2:3 introduces the values and nature of the invisible Artist who spoke visible matter into being. Hidden treasures lie behind the familiar “day one, day two” creation account. I think you’ll be surprised at what’s revealed by this in-depth look at the beginning of our world.

Visiting Eden: God Brings Life is the first of a four-part series on Eden.

God Stays Near When Things Are Awful

May 30, 2020June 6, 2020 Lynne Fox 1 Comment creation, Genesis, God's character

When darkness, chaos, and emptiness swirl around us, it’s easy to assume God has left the scene. Not so. God stays near when things are awful.

As creation began, God hovered over a chaotic, empty, dark earth. He hasn't changed. In our dark times, He hovers over us and replaces darkness with Himself.

Who Showed Up at Creation? The Entire Trinity

September 15, 2017September 15, 2017 Lynne Fox 0 Comments

When we picture creation, we usually attribute it to God the Father without realizing that the Father wasn’t alone. The entire Trinity was involved.

God tells us:The entire Trinity – Father, Son, & Spirit – showed up at Creation. They have distinct names but identical hearts & goals.

Creation and the Crisis of Emptiness

May 12, 2017August 10, 2017 Lynne Fox 0 Comments addiction, creation, crisis, emptiness

God abhors a vacuum.He not only hates such emptiness, He has the power to eliminate it – not just in nature, but in our lives.

Aristotle said that nature abhors a vacuum. God (who created nature) not only abhors vacuums, He gets rid of them.

Confusion, Muddles, and Mixtures – Solving the Crisis of Chaos

March 10, 2017December 12, 2020 Lynne Fox 0 Comments

Before God stepped in, our world was chaotic mess. See from the creation account in Genesis 1 how God solves the crisis of chaos.

God uses boundaries to bring order out of chaos. He did it in creation ... He does it still.

Two Kinds of Boundaries (God’s and Ours)

March 5, 2017August 10, 2017 Lynne Fox 0 Comments

God’s kind of boundaries bring order and life. They’re motivated by love. Man-made boundaries have poorer results. They often cause us harm.

Jesus didn't serve Himself at our expense, nor did He limit His contacts to safe people. I'm so glad.

Facing Unpredictability – Can Change Be Good?

March 3, 2017August 10, 2017 Lynne Fox 0 Comments creation, Eden, Genesis, unpredictability

How do you deal with unpredictability? Does it signal danger, or does it signal gift? You’ll find a fresh perspective in Genesis 1.

We can't predict God's actions, but we can trust them. Why? Because God's character is predictably and reliably good.
