Show Me God

Creation

Dr. Drew Lawson and Pastor Bucky Dennis

 

The God Who Shows Up

  • Looking for God

  • Facing our doubts

  • Reasons for faith

 

  • Creation: “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made.” Romans 1:20

 

  • Word: “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.” 2 Timothy 3:16

 

  • Christianity: “By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:35

 

  • Suffering: “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles.” 2 Corinthians 1:3

 

  • Resurrection: “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.” 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

 

God’s Priority

  • A love relationship

  • A free will offering

  • Faith verses certainty

 

  • “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Hebrews 11:6

 

The Clues for God in Creation

 

Creator: The Mysterious Bang- How did you get something from nothing?

  • “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1

    “In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.” Psalm 102:25

Designer: Complexity and Wonder

  • “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.” Psalm 19:1

 

  • “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” Psalm 139:13-14

 

Worship

  • “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” Hebrews 11:1-3

 

  • “O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.” Psalm 8:1
