SCRIPTURE STUDY / WEEK LEADING TO SUNDAY May 22, 2005

Monday: Genesis 1:1 – 2:3 First Creation Story
Yes, this is the story about God creating in seven days. Read and enjoy!

Tuesday: Genesis 2.4-25 Second Creation Story
Yes, this is the story about God breathing creation into man and placing Adam in the garden. Out of Adam came Eve who was the perfect mate. Everything is really nice in the garden and all. Nice place, nice people, God is very good.

Wednesday: Psalm 89 God’s Covenant
Take a break from creation and go read a super Psalm about covenant. Covenant is really our underlying theme anyway for the next few weeks.

Thursday: Genesis 7-8 A Third Creation Story
Noah and the Ark is really a kind of third creation story. God does it all over again and tries to get it right this time. See what you think.

Friday: Romans 8 A Purpose for Creation
Paul the apostle writes to the church in Rome a letter where he attempts to share the real purpose for all creation. This is one of the most loved chapters in all the Bible. Isn’t the reason for salvation is more important than salvation.

Saturday: Genesis 1:1-31 God Creates
We get all caught up in how creation happened. Was it evolution or was it creationism? Did God just say the word or were there eons of slow process involved? Sometimes we get so weary of the arguments and speculation that we stop asking any more questions. Truth is we have been asking the wrong questions for a long time. I believe the right question is not how, but why? The right question is not when, but for what purpose? God created something very good. God created in love, for love. God created with a purpose. However it happened, God caused it. Period.
Now, deal with the love involved. Aahhh!
There is the big issue we have all been avoiding. And there is the sermon.

Sunday: Reflect and Worship
Sermon Scripture: Genesis 1:1-31
Sermon Title: “You Get What You Get”
