Sermon By: Pastor Matt Spradlin

Genesis 3:15

​In order to understand the story of the resurrection, we have to know how the story begins.  We have to go back to the very beginning of everything.  Genesis 3 tells us why the resurrection of Jesus matters.  Man can live without many things, but the one thing we cannot not live without is hope.  Humanity has sinned and sin has brought death, but God in His love gives us the promise of hope and deliverance through the resurrection.  Because Jesus is alive, we can face tomorrow with the promise of eternal life.

Genesis 2:1-3, 15; 1:26

​God gave us work as a gift from Him.  We are not going to be able to enjoy our work until we understand its God-given purpose and how sin distorts it.  The work of God gives our work great dignity- it doesn’t matter how big or how small the job- it has meaning and is to point to God.

Genesis 2:4-17

​As created beings, our identity is to be found in God.  We cannot understand who we are apart from our Creator.  While we have many aspects of our identity, none of them are to be understood apart from the One who created us.

Genesis 2:1-3

​We are busier than perhaps ever before; we have more things to distract us than perhaps ever before.  All of that busyness and all of those distractions often keep us from really enjoying God and His creation.  This is just one of the reasons God set aside a day of rest for His glory and our benefit.

Genesis 1:26-31

​Are we an accident of the cosmos without meaning or purpose, or are we created by God and here by design?  Is there purpose to our existence?  Is there meaning to our lives?  These are important questions because what we believe we are determines how we choose to live.  Genesis answers three questions: Where did man come from?  Who is man?  Where are going.

Genesis 1:1-31

Genesis answers question of existence- why is there something rather than nothing. Some argue for spontaneous creation- that the universe spontaneously created itself- something Genesis refutes.  But Genesis also answers the question why we have the something we have- why there are laws to the universe.  The answer to both is that God is the Creator who created us and a good creation for us to enjoy.

Genesis 1:1

​The question of origins is crucial.  We cannot understand our origins apart from Genesis.  We cannot understand who God is, who we are and why we are, what our destiny is apart from Genesis.  It is important to recognize the story of our lives began long before we were born.  Our story, and all other stories, begins with God.

Genesis 45:4-8

​The strongest Christian are often those who have gone through great suffering.  Through that suffering they were bruised, and God used that bruise to ripen their faith and make their fruit sweet because when God bruises, He uses.  If anyone has ever been bruised Joseph had and his story is a quintessential story of how God uses our suffering.​

Philippians 4:14-23

​We all admire people who are generous, and every one of us wants to be generous; no one wants to be a scrooge.  There is something compelling about generosity.  God is generous to us so that we can be generous to others.  God blesses us so that we can be blessed and so that we can be a blessing.
