Why is the world the way it is, and where do I fit in it?
from His People Gabs East · host His People Gabs-East
In this episode of our What Shapes Us series, we explore our church’s foundational beliefs about creation and the fall of man. Building on last week’s look at who God is, we now dive deep into what the Bible teaches about how the world began, and what went wrong.We unpack our Statement of Faith, which declares that God created all things, visible and invisible (Genesis 1:1–3, Colossians 1:15–17, John 1:1–3). Everything in existence was formed by Him, through Christ, and sustained by His Word (Hebrews 1:1–2). From darkness and chaos, God spoke light and life into being, and He still does today.We then look at how human beings were uniquely made in God’s image (Genesis 1:26–29, Genesis 2:7, Psalm 8:6–8), to know Him, reflect His character, and steward His creation. But through Adam’s sin, humanity fell (Genesis 3), bringing guilt, shame, death, and a world in need of redemption.Throughout the episode, we ask: So what? What does all of this mean for us today?👉 It means all creation is subject to God.👉 It means we were created for covenant with Him.👉 It means we live in a broken world—but not without hope.Grab your Bible and join us as we uncover the truths that shape our faith and give us a framework for understanding the world, and our place in it.For more messages like this, you can always go to our website: www.hispeoplebotswana.org Attend one of our services by visiting our church housed in Maharaja Conference Centre in Gaborone: https://maps.app.goo.gl/mEzeHWtQc2wua...or simply, reach out to one of our leaders via the WhatsApp: +267 74 312 240#HisPeople #Church #EveryNation #WeYourPeople #ChurchSeries #HisPeopleGabEast
