God and Creation

We had a good day in church today even though there were not many present. Hannah Diggs sang "Oh, be careful little eyes what you see" and Katelyn Smead played a piano solo. Terry and Tammie Diggs sang a special with the guitar entitled "Look Away From The Cross".

Bro. Donis preached on God and Creation and his text was Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." We studied what does creation reveal to us.

  • Creation reveals its Creator. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Romans 1:20 We have no excuse to not believe in God. Being a created being and seeing God's beautiful creation, we should instinctively know that there is a creator.
  • Creation reveals that we need a Redeemer. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Romans 8:20-21. Creations reveals that sinful and needs to be freed from bondage. Sin has corrupted the creation of God, but God can make it right.
  • Creation reveals that we exist for God's glory. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. God doesn't have a plan 'B'. God designed us, created us, and placed us on this earth to show His glory. We don't serve and worship God to please Him, but because we are His children and we want to serve and worship Him.
