God of Creation: A New Creature

from The Preaching of the Cross

God doesn’t only show up in rainbows and orchids. We argue He’s present in the places we avoid, the messy corners of life, and even the “garbage can” moments that feel too ugly to matter. Brother James uses a striking chain of stories from creation to challenge the idea that faith is for the uneducated, and to make a simple claim: the universe is crowded with clues that point to the God of creation.From a worm no scientist can truly “make,” to the stunning reality of regeneration in nature, we follow a theme that hits hard for anyone who feels weak, ashamed, or stuck: God helps those who cannot help themselves. That biological picture turns into a spiritual one as we move to the gospel, the problem of sin, and why rules and religion can’t pay a sin debt. Only Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, suffers, dies, and rises again to offer eternal life.Then we take an unexpected turn into chemistry and the new birth. A mixture keeps the old parts intact, but a compound becomes something genuinely new and different. That becomes our picture of conversion and being born again: not self-improvement by willpower, but a new heart and new desires through the Holy Spirit. If you’ve ever wondered how anyone can truly change, this message makes the case that new affection drives new living.Church Website — BibleBaptistDeLand.comMinistry Website — JamesWKnox.org YouTube Channel — YouTube.com/JamesWKnoxSermonsSermon Audio — SermonAudio.com/BibleBaptistDeLandWeb Store — Store.JamesWKnox.org
