How to Read Genesis (Genesis 1:1-2:3) [Jay Thomas]

For most of this semester, we will take our time and look at the vital themes of Genesis 1-3 in particular. Genesis 1:1-2:3 is our text for this Sunday and there we will find Moses laying out the main elements of the story: GOD, His people, in His Place, under His Rule, for His glory. How we interpret the length of the days mentioned in Ch 1 aside, the greater point in Moses's prologue to the Bible is the origin, meaning, and purpose for the world, not least for God's people. We are created for worship. We were created to dwell with God. We were created to enjoy God, forever. Amen.
