TOPIC:

*WHAT DOES GOD DO?*

INTRODUCTION 

- The creation of the earth and the near heavens II

Genesis 1:1-31

The Spirit of God hovered over the waters to keep them under control until they could be assigned to their place. He was controlling the creation project, with the result that all creation takes place under God's watchful eye and results from his power.

This account of the creation in six days (whether taken literally as twenty-four hour days or figuratively as representing long periods of time) reveals a methodical God who created different things one after another with precise purpose.

One by one the Lord puts in place all the elements necessary to sustain the human beings for whom he is creating this world.

The creation of the earth and the heavens

 *01/06/2025* *THANKSGIVING SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* INTRODUCTION  - The creation of the earth and the near heavens  Genesis 1:1-31 The rest of the chapter is then seen as an expression on the summary of Genesis 1:1. However, it is also possible that those words outline the first step in creation, with the words *in the beginning* being equivalent to "first". The idea then would be that the first thing God did was to create the raw shell ( heaven and earth) and then for six days he filled that shell with content. He did not create the whole universe as a finished product in one grand gesture, but worked to create it. This second view fits with the description of the earth as *formless and empty* and of darkness over the surface of the deep.
