There are several ideas about the working of God. Some believe that our present universe is the result of evolution and God had no part in it. Others believe that God was active in the creation of the universe but then stepped off of the stage. The Bible, however, teaches that God was at work in the creation and that his work continues to this very day.

The church at Corinth was riddled with issues and problems, yet they are still called a “church.” The appeal to them was to be unified (1 Corinthians 1:10). How could that happen? By centering on “our message,” the message of the crucified Christ. The cross was central to Paul’s preaching and life (1 Corinthians 2:1-2; Galatians 2:20; Galatians 6:14), but it is also OUR message, and it will solve so many problems if we will focus there.

If all we think of when we consider Jesus is Him being “meek and gentle,” we have missed the full picture of Christ. Revelation 14 opens with an amazing scene and gives us a picture of Jesus not just as a conqueror, but as a fierce warrior. This vision should help us stand in awe of Him.

Several times in the book of Revelation, we read the word, “Behold!” This series will look at seven of those times. The first is found when a door is standing open in heaven (Revelation 4:2), and John’s attention is held by the One seated on the throne (Revelation 4:3) and the light that enveloped the scene. That vision reminds us of God’s majesty and power. As we behold the almighty God, we will turn to Isaiah 40 and notice several things from that chapter that we often stand in awe of, but that the prophet says God is far more awesome than.

What is now commonly called “settled science” accepts evolution almost without exclusion. In fact, Bill Nye even said that teaching creationism to the next generation is a form of child abuse. But Genesis 1 is still in the Bible and is logical and reasonable. This lesson is designed to show how the creation account of Genesis 1 is actually better science and more reasonable than is evolution.
