Creation
Over the next 3 months, we’ll be tracing the movements of the Biblical Story. From the creative glories of Genesis 1-2 to the final restoration of all things in Revelation 21-22, the Bible tells the story of the faithfulness of God as he works to rescue a world in rebellion to his sovereign love. At each stage of the Story he is fashioning a people for himself, a people who can receive his love, carry his presence, and be his means of restoring the world to its former glory. All of this culminates in Jesus, of course, who is the True Hero of the Story, and who invites sinners and sufferers to join his world-restoring mission, until he returns to make all things new. In CREATION we learn that YHWH alone is the Sovereign Lord over all!
