In the beginning, God

This week we begin a new preaching series through the book of Genesis, the foundational book of the Bible that reveals who God is, who we are, and what it means to live seriously for Him. In this opening message, Martin explores Genesis 1 and helps us reframe our worldview around the truth that God is the creator of all things.Rather than diving into scientific debates, this message focuses on the original purpose of Genesis—to give God’s people a vision of His divine purpose, divine order, and divine image. You’ll be encouraged to think about how the story of creation shapes your identity, calling, and understanding of the world.Key themes from the sermon include:• We are not accidents—we are made by God and for God.• The presence of God is central from the very beginning.• We are made in His image to reflect His character and represent His rule.• Our view of creation shapes our response to suffering, purpose, and mission.This message invites all of us—whether exploring faith or long-time believers—to root our identity, purpose, and hope in the God who created all things and is present with us today.🏠 Visit our websitehttps://www.thecitychurch.org.uk🎧 Find our sermon library herehttps://subsplash.com/thecitychurch/sermonsABOUT THE CITY CHURCHOur vision is to invite everyone to encounter Jesus - no matter who you are or where you’ve come from, the message of hope that Jesus gives is for all people.https://www.thecitychurch.org.uk/We are based in Canterbury in the UK, and we’d love to have you join us for a Sunday service or connect in by watching our livestream every Sunday morning at 10:30am.https://www.thecitychurch.org.uk/sundaysFIND US ON SOCIAL MEDIAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecitychurchincanterburyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecitychurchincanterburyTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thecity.churchYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_w9wZs7dNkCLQmvGrLZg0g
