THE MAIN TALK, in two parts
(8 mins)
Part one
What a marvellous book Genesis is, ever read it?
I often lie in bed trying to get to sleep and think what it was
like at the beginning of time.
The Bible tells me and Christians believe that ‘In the beginning
God created the heavens and the earth’ The first words of the Bible.
DAY 1 –
Light and Darkness
DAY 2 –
Water and Sky
DAY 3 –
Land, plants, trees, flowers
DAY 4 –
Sun, Moon, Stars in all the universe
DAY 5 –
Creatures of the sea, Birds of the air,
DAY 6 –
Animals of the land and humans made in God’s image
MAIN POINTS
•
6 times, usually at the end of each day God
exclaimed this is good. At the end of the 6th day after he had created man, he
said ‘this is very good’. Mankind was the pinnacle of God’s creation. You and me
were made in God’s image and exclaimed at being ‘very good’
•
Not only that – Gen 1v26 …Let man rule over the fish
of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and
over all the creatures that move along the ground."
•
God made man ‘very good’ with the purpose of looking after all the good things,
ruling over them with care! That is something to celebrate!
•
However not the case now, things have gone wrong… but that’s another story
Part two
The biggest celebrations in life are seen on
the world of sport.
A few memories - guess the great sporting
celebration;
- Jonny Wilkinson and Will Greenwood.
- Kelly Holmes – 2 takes!
- Robbie Keane
- Mexican Wave!
THE SUMMARY
(1 min)
We have seen how God created all things and
that he created them all good. How will you celebrate the good things that God
has given you today?
