Creation

Series: Long Story Short

Geoffrey TurnerJune 15, 2025Weekend Services

Passage: Genesis 1:1-3:24

Previous Page

This week we kicked off a new series entitled "Long Story Short" where we will spend the rest of the summer, taking a 30,000-foot view of the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, highlighting key moments, covenants, and people. Starting at the beginning with "Creation," we dive into Genesis 1, 2, and 3 to explore the foundational truth of how we perceive ourselves, because "how we view ourselves deeply shapes how we live". This means every human being is an "image bearer of God to the world". We have been carefully crafted into His image and His likeness. The enemy's primary tactic of sowing doubt in God's goodness and word is explored, showing how easily we can fall into temptation. The good news is that what sin broke, Jesus fixes. Through Jesus, our broken mirror can be repaired, allowing us to see ourselves as truly "fearfully and wonderfully made"—a truth King David beautifully illustrates in Psalm 139.

Creation

 

Text: Genesis 1-3

How we  shapes how we live. 

 

We were made in the very image of a creator who looks at what He created and calls it

 

 is  from being made in the image of God. 

 

Sin  their relationship with God. Sin  their view of themselves. Sin  the world. 

 

Sin is a disease that will continue to cause  and  in the world until the return of Christ. 

 

One of the enemy's primary goals is to  into God's goodness, His word, and His plans. 

 

The enemy seeks to distort  with  and twisted

 

God  us from the very start. (Psalm 139:13-16)

 

The enemy wants sin to  in us, but through Jesus, it doesn't have to. (Isaiah 1:18)
