God Spoke, and it Was

This sermon introduces a new series on Genesis, focusing on the foundational truth that God is the creator who spoke everything into existence with purpose and intention. The pastor emphasizes that Genesis 1:1 establishes God's authority over creation, showing that He creates 'ex nihilo' (out of nothing) and that our lives are not accidents but intentional creations. The message walks through the creation days, highlighting God's pattern of forming before filling - first creating structure and order, then filling those spaces with life. The sermon addresses the tension many feel about God's eternality and mystery, encouraging trust in a God who is present even in chaos and unfinished seasons of life.
