Sermon Tone Analysis

Genesis 1:1

Introduction

The book of Genesis is the book of beginnings, it describes where we came from, it declares what is wrong with us, it discloses where we are going

It lays the foundations of human institutions

Now unlike any other time in our lifetimes we must unapologetically proclaim what God unilaterally declares

The world has rejected the Creator rather

Romans 1:18–25 (KJV 1900) — 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.

Amen.

The Bible declares that you are to Worship Christ as The Creator

I.

The Creator’s Identity

Who is the Creator?

The deist of the 17th century postulated the God was no more than a Great Clock winder have created the world and then leaving it alone to its own devices

The Bible is very emphatic concerning the the identity of the Creator.

In the beginning was the Word

Jesus is the Word

“All things were made by him”

everything that is, is made by Him

“In him was life and light”

Jesus owns the title deed to all the Universe both as Creator and Redeemer

It all belongs to Him

Whether it is in Heaven or Earth it is His

Whether it is visible or invisible it is His

IT IS ALL HIS

It is the reprobate mind that rejects the identity of the creator

Man’s objection to the God of the Bible is not scientific it is sinful

II.

The Creator’s Initiative

The Creation is not the product of a random cosmic accident but the result of an intentional divine action

"so called” science attempts to explain our origin by a random bang and that you are the product of millions of years of random mutations yet such a proposition demands you place your faith in chaos instead of a creator

By His Will

God “created”

While men have the ability to “make or form” only God can create out of nothing.

Jesus by His own initiative made a conscience decision to create the creation

You are not an accident but you are “fearfully and wonderfully made”

By His Word

There is power in His Word

God exercised His will by the speaking of His word

III.

The Creator’s Imagination

Christ is designer

The universe of matter is fashioned by His design

The institutions of man are also fashioned by His design

IV.

The Creator’s Intention

He made it for His pleasure

He made it for His praise

He made it for His people

Conclusion Statement

Colossians 3:10 (KJV 1900) — 10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:

Worship Christ by recognizing Him as your Creator.
