 *09/07/2025* *MID WEEK SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CREATION  - God created the universe from nothing  Genesis 1:1 Isaiah 42:5 Amos 5:8 God twice identifies himself in ways that enhance the servant's authority as his representative. First, he identifies himself as the Creator, using language similar to that found in Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 2:7, and specifies that it is he who directs his servant. The Lord God introduces Himself as the source of all physical and spiritual life - *breath* and *spirit*- for He will enable the Servant to free people from death and spiritual darkness.

 *06/07/2025* *THANKSGIVING SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* INTRODUCTION  - The creation of the earth and the near heavens X Genesis 1:1-31 Nothing comes from the hand of God that is not intrinsically good. He is the good God who does all things for good according to Mark 10:18 and Roman 8:28. God may have viewed his creation as good because it breathed order. Each element was created at the appropriate time and occupied the place which allowed for the harmony of the whole. It was also filled with rich diversity. God created different species within each vegetable and animal family, each according to their kinds. Genesis 1:11,12,21,24 Each kind was told to multiply  Genesis 1:11,20,22,28 *Tithes & Offering* Genesis 14:18-20 Account name:  *The Ecumenican Church* Account number: 2280020397 Banker: *Eco Bank Nig.

 *02/07/2025* *MID WEEK SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* INTRODUCTION  - The creation of the earth and the near heavens IX Genesis 1:1-31 Both men and women were blessed by God and assigned a two-fold mission: to increase in number and fill the earth according to Genesis 1:28a and to rule over creation and to subdue the earth according to Genesis 1:26c,28b. This mission was not a heavy burden but a gift from God. Human beings were to occupy and enjoy, not fear, creation. This mission indicates that the first way in which all of us can glorify and serve God is by caring for his creation. *©2025* *Ecumenican Church Nigeria ®* Instagram: *@ecumenicanchurch* WhatsApp/Telegram: *+2348052366039* Email: *johnifesanya@gmail.com* *www.johnifesanya.blogspot.com* *#ECN Ibadan #* Powered by *JDIS*

 *29/06/2025* *ANOINTING HEALING AND COMMUNION SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* INTRODUCTION  - The creation of the earth and the near heavens VIII Genesis 1:1-31 Human beings, both male and female, are said to have been made in the image of God  Genesis 1:26b-27  Thus humans are different from other created beings like animals. It means that every human being resembles his or her Creator in some way. Consequently, every human being is special and important. We should be able to recognize the Creator in the men and women we see around us. *©2025* *Ecumenican Church Nigeria ®* Instagram: *@ecumenicanchurch* WhatsApp/Telegram: *+2348052366039* Email: *johnifesanya@gmail.com* *www.johnifesanya.blogspot.com* *#ECN Ibadan #* Powered by *JDIS*

 *25/06/2025* *MID WEEK SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* INTRODUCTION  - The creation of the earth and the near heavens VII Genesis 1:1-31 The creation of living beings follows the same sequence as the material creation. On day five, God created the creatures that live in sea and sky according to Genesis 1:20-23, followed on the sixth day by animals that live on land according to Genesis 1:24-25, and finally the culmination of his creation, human beings. The privileged position of human beings is shown by the fact that our creation required a special decision, presented as if it was made at some gathering. The plural in *let us make man* indicates the solemnity of the decision and stresses that something new and important is about to happen  Genesis 1:26a The plural 'let us' also suggests the community of the Godhead, which involves three persons - the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. *©2025* *Ecumenican Church Nigeria ®* Instagram: *@ecumenicanchurch* WhatsApp/Telegram: *...
