2025-10-12: Pastor Mark Quist – Discipleship: In the Beginning, GOD… Something Out of Nothing
Following Jesus… What do we need to know? What is it we believe? How are we to live? Questions… I’m so thankful for the revelation of God in both the universe/creation/physical world and in Scripture. Two marvelous books of revelation about God as our Creator, Redeemer, Sustainer. I’m also thankful for people who have spent their life following Jesus and plumbing the depths of God’s relationship with the created world and specifically, humanity.
Today, (this coming Sunday) we dive into a deeper understanding of the Biblical Worldview. Theologians have looked at God’s Word over the centuries and can see God’s revelation of a plan for all created things, a ‘worldview’, based on Biblical revelation, that helps us understand our place in God’s world. It has everything to do with God’s creative and redemptive love for all that he has made. It speaks of God’s ongoing faithfulness to us in our trouble, his sending of a Savior, and the very presence of God ongoing with us (Holy Spirit) for as many days God gives us. Knowing God’s plan and our place in His world leads us to meaning, beauty, joy, and purpose in our lives.
In brief, God’s redemptive plan in history unfolds in simple terms of Creation-Fall-Redemption-Consummation. If this sounds confusing, do a google search of this framework and find out what the categories mean. For our purposes in this series, we will use phrases… “In the beginning… not the way it’s supposed to be… Now! but not yet… all things new!” This is a bit more descriptive.
We begin with 3 weeks of “In the beginning…” Read Genesis 1-2 for these three weeks of sermons. Dive into some of the attached discussion/application questions. And see you Sunday! Ready for take off, ready to dive in, Lord lead.
