WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.259
 is only because of your sustaining hand upon us.

00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:09.720
 And we ask that you, Creator God,

00:00:11.099 --> 00:00:16.219
 would breathe afresh the power of your Holy Spirit upon each one of us

00:00:16.219 --> 00:00:21.260
 so that we may hear these words correctly,

00:00:22.620 --> 00:00:25.560
 that we may apply them to our lives,

00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:31.939
 and that the same creation power that we see at work here in these words

00:00:31.939 --> 00:00:35.439
 would be at work in our lives,

00:00:37.019 --> 00:00:43.259
 forming us into the new creation that you would have us to be.

00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:49.340
 We pray that you would do this work amongst us today.

00:00:50.159 --> 00:00:53.000
 In Jesus' name, Amen.

00:00:55.560 --> 00:01:01.359
 Once Upon a Time

00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:05.460
 is not just the beginning of a book.

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:09.340
 It's actually a TV series that takes place

00:01:09.340 --> 00:01:12.659
 in a seaside town called Storybrooke.

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:15.820
 All the residents of that town

00:01:15.820 --> 00:01:19.120
 are characters from various fairy tales

00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.740
 who've been transported into the real world,

00:01:22.739 --> 00:01:26.659
 but have been robbed of their real memories

00:01:26.659 --> 00:01:28.739
 by a powerful curse.

00:01:29.739 --> 00:01:32.439
 The town's only hope is Emma Swan,

00:01:33.219 --> 00:01:36.199
 who is the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming,

00:01:36.780 --> 00:01:39.479
 who's come from the fairy tale world

00:01:39.479 --> 00:01:41.219
 to rescue them.

00:01:42.299 --> 00:01:45.799
 She's the only one who can break the curse

00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.679
 and restore the characters' lost memories.

00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:52.179
 Sound familiar?

00:01:54.179 --> 00:01:56.319
 You see, the story of the Bible

00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.479
 has a similar theme.

00:01:58.819 --> 00:02:01.039
 It's all about a hero.

00:02:01.479 --> 00:02:03.420
 A hero who offers hope,

00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:06.140
 who will rescue people from the curse

00:02:06.140 --> 00:02:07.700
 that they are under,

00:02:08.099 --> 00:02:09.800
 restoring what is broken

00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:13.040
 and renewing what has been lost.

00:02:14.580 --> 00:02:16.180
 But here's the difference.

00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:18.880
 The story of the Bible

00:02:18.880 --> 00:02:21.600
 is not a fairy tale.

00:02:22.380 --> 00:02:24.960
 It is a true story.

00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:27.780
 This is God's story

00:02:27.780 --> 00:02:29.220
 and it begins,

00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:30.560
 look at verse 1,

00:02:31.860 --> 00:02:34.140
 in the beginning.

00:02:34.139 --> 00:02:37.000
 That's what Genesis means.

00:02:37.379 --> 00:02:39.099
 It means beginnings.

00:02:40.059 --> 00:02:41.419
 The Bible begins

00:02:41.419 --> 00:02:43.239
 by telling us the story

00:02:43.239 --> 00:02:44.619
 of how the world

00:02:44.619 --> 00:02:46.359
 and how humanity began.

00:02:46.739 --> 00:02:47.839
 What we are like,

00:02:48.239 --> 00:02:49.439
 how we came to be,

00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:51.879
 and why we are here.

00:02:54.579 --> 00:02:56.159
 But the problem is,

00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.119
 people don't always get very far

00:02:59.119 --> 00:03:00.079
 in the story

00:03:00.079 --> 00:03:01.839
 because they start arguing

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.479
 over how old the world is

00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.020
 and how long it took to make.

00:03:07.939 --> 00:03:09.080
 Now, I just want to say

00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:10.280
 a few things about that

00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:11.800
 because it's very important

00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:12.699
 to recognise

00:03:12.699 --> 00:03:14.319
 that faithful,

00:03:14.780 --> 00:03:16.379
 Bible-believing Christians,

00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:18.319
 and I'm sure if you were to do

00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:20.039
 a quick survey here in this room,

00:03:20.539 --> 00:03:22.640
 would all have various different views

00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:23.860
 about that.

00:03:24.480 --> 00:03:25.819
 Some people will say,

00:03:25.819 --> 00:03:28.000
 it took six days to make,

00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:29.719
 and they read Genesis chapter 1

00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:30.680
 in a literal sense,

00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:32.340
 so the end of verse 5,

00:03:32.460 --> 00:03:32.819
 it says,

00:03:32.920 --> 00:03:33.620
 and there was evening

00:03:33.620 --> 00:03:34.400
 and there was morning

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:35.900
 the first day.

00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:38.000
 So on that basis,

00:03:38.099 --> 00:03:39.219
 and looking at other dates

00:03:39.219 --> 00:03:39.780
 in the Bible,

00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:41.080
 they calculate that the world

00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:42.060
 is not much older

00:03:42.060 --> 00:03:44.280
 than 6,000 years old.

00:03:45.420 --> 00:03:46.620
 Other people will say,

00:03:46.700 --> 00:03:49.100
 well, if you read verses 1 and 2,

00:03:49.180 --> 00:03:50.500
 there's a gap in between

00:03:50.500 --> 00:03:51.500
 verses 1 and 2

00:03:51.500 --> 00:03:53.500
 or in between verses 2 and 3,

00:03:53.600 --> 00:03:54.439
 and they call that

00:03:54.439 --> 00:03:55.460
 the gap theory,

00:03:55.460 --> 00:03:56.760
 and so on that basis,

00:03:56.939 --> 00:03:58.020
 they calculate that the world

00:03:58.020 --> 00:03:59.860
 is millions of years old.

00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:02.319
 Still other people

00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:03.260
 will read it and say,

00:04:03.379 --> 00:04:05.040
 well, the days that are mentioned

00:04:05.040 --> 00:04:07.540
 are just periods of time.

00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:09.740
 So while the creation story

00:04:09.740 --> 00:04:11.740
 is historically true,

00:04:12.920 --> 00:04:14.740
 the days are more symbolic

00:04:14.740 --> 00:04:16.079
 than literal.

00:04:17.460 --> 00:04:19.000
 And you can talk to each other

00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:20.019
 about that afterwards.

00:04:20.899 --> 00:04:22.939
 Now, while debate is healthy

00:04:22.939 --> 00:04:24.259
 and it's good,

00:04:25.139 --> 00:04:26.139
 let me stress,

00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:27.540
 it's really not worth

00:04:27.540 --> 00:04:28.620
 falling out over.

00:04:29.819 --> 00:04:31.960
 So how should we come this morning

00:04:31.960 --> 00:04:34.660
 and understand the beginning?

00:04:35.960 --> 00:04:38.020
 Well, here's what I'm suggesting we do.

00:04:38.540 --> 00:04:40.280
 Rather than treat the Bible

00:04:40.280 --> 00:04:41.620
 as a science book,

00:04:42.020 --> 00:04:43.379
 we read the Bible

00:04:43.379 --> 00:04:45.439
 as God's story.

00:04:46.460 --> 00:04:48.100
 Primarily, we're reading it

00:04:48.100 --> 00:04:49.540
 not to find out

00:04:49.540 --> 00:04:51.240
 how old the earth is,

00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.579
 but to discover

00:04:53.579 --> 00:04:55.079
 who God is

00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.480
 and who we are.

00:04:59.780 --> 00:05:01.220
 So we're going to look at

00:05:01.220 --> 00:05:03.379
 two big things this morning.

00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:05.319
 Who God is

00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:08.519
 and who we are.

00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:10.139
 So first,

00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:11.860
 in the beginning,

00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:14.019
 God.

00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:16.000
 Surprisingly,

00:05:16.259 --> 00:05:17.579
 the story doesn't actually

00:05:17.579 --> 00:05:18.680
 start with us,

00:05:18.740 --> 00:05:19.060
 does it?

00:05:19.060 --> 00:05:20.319
 Look again at verse 1.

00:05:21.139 --> 00:05:22.000
 In the beginning,

00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:23.500
 God.

00:05:24.860 --> 00:05:26.199
 It does not tell us

00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:27.660
 how God came to be.

00:05:28.420 --> 00:05:29.280
 It simply

00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:31.280
 and unapologetically

00:05:31.280 --> 00:05:32.040
 tells us

00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:32.780
 that God

00:05:32.780 --> 00:05:34.040
 exists.

00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:36.199
 Before anything else

00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:37.579
 or anyone else,

00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:38.519
 God

00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:39.740
 was there.

00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:41.279
 In other words,

00:05:41.420 --> 00:05:42.439
 God has existed

00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:43.300
 forever.

00:05:43.300 --> 00:05:45.500
 There was never a time

00:05:45.500 --> 00:05:46.540
 when God

00:05:46.540 --> 00:05:47.360
 was not.

00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:47.400
 God.

00:05:48.960 --> 00:05:50.040
 Now that blows

00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:51.360
 my mind a little bit.

00:05:51.660 --> 00:05:52.520
 It's hard enough

00:05:52.520 --> 00:05:53.520
 trying to fathom

00:05:53.520 --> 00:05:54.680
 how you and I

00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:55.780
 came into being

00:05:55.780 --> 00:05:56.819
 in a certain place

00:05:56.819 --> 00:05:57.720
 in a certain point

00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:58.400
 in history,

00:05:58.660 --> 00:05:59.840
 but to try and

00:05:59.840 --> 00:06:01.160
 understand or comprehend

00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:01.800
 that God

00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:03.500
 has always been

00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:05.280
 and always will be,

00:06:06.379 --> 00:06:07.840
 it causes my brain

00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:08.759
 to freeze.

00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:10.920
 You see,

00:06:11.379 --> 00:06:12.780
 if I could really

00:06:12.780 --> 00:06:13.759
 get my head

00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:14.460
 around that

00:06:14.459 --> 00:06:15.459
 and fathom

00:06:15.459 --> 00:06:17.180
 God's eternal

00:06:17.180 --> 00:06:18.079
 existence,

00:06:18.479 --> 00:06:19.120
 if I could

00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:20.319
 understand that

00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:20.899
 completely,

00:06:22.099 --> 00:06:22.759
 then God

00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:23.539
 would cease

00:06:23.539 --> 00:06:24.899
 to be God.

00:06:25.939 --> 00:06:26.339
 You see,

00:06:26.419 --> 00:06:27.579
 why should I

00:06:27.579 --> 00:06:29.060
 have the right

00:06:29.060 --> 00:06:30.419
 to say

00:06:30.419 --> 00:06:31.459
 who God is

00:06:31.459 --> 00:06:32.719
 and for how long

00:06:32.719 --> 00:06:33.620
 he's existed?

00:06:34.799 --> 00:06:35.979
 Because God

00:06:35.979 --> 00:06:37.060
 is God,

00:06:37.719 --> 00:06:38.919
 he tells me,

00:06:39.259 --> 00:06:40.740
 he informs me,

00:06:40.740 --> 00:06:41.800
 and the simple

00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:42.439
 fact is

00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:43.060
 at the very

00:06:43.060 --> 00:06:43.540
 beginning

00:06:43.540 --> 00:06:44.120
 we're told

00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:44.720
 that God

00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:45.460
 existed

00:06:45.460 --> 00:06:46.759
 from before

00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:47.639
 time began.

00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:49.800
 Now this

00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:50.540
 means that

00:06:50.540 --> 00:06:51.379
 the story

00:06:51.379 --> 00:06:52.740
 is not about

00:06:52.740 --> 00:06:53.079
 me.

00:06:54.220 --> 00:06:55.579
 I am not

00:06:55.579 --> 00:06:56.579
 the centre

00:06:56.579 --> 00:06:57.300
 of the universe.

00:06:58.300 --> 00:06:59.480
 I am not

00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:00.699
 the main character

00:07:00.699 --> 00:07:01.740
 in the story.

00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:03.019
 Of course,

00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:03.460
 the world

00:07:03.460 --> 00:07:04.360
 tells each one

00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:04.680
 of us

00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:05.500
 that we are

00:07:05.500 --> 00:07:06.639
 so important

00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:07.319
 and that

00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:07.939
 it is all

00:07:07.939 --> 00:07:08.719
 about me

00:07:08.719 --> 00:07:09.500
 and there's

00:07:09.500 --> 00:07:09.979
 nobody

00:07:09.979 --> 00:07:10.479
 is more

00:07:10.479 --> 00:07:10.939
 important

00:07:10.939 --> 00:07:11.539
 than me.

00:07:12.659 --> 00:07:13.099
 But it's

00:07:13.099 --> 00:07:13.620
 a lie,

00:07:13.719 --> 00:07:14.240
 it's not

00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:14.819
 true.

00:07:15.899 --> 00:07:16.459
 Part of

00:07:16.459 --> 00:07:17.079
 our problem

00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:17.620
 is thinking

00:07:17.620 --> 00:07:18.180
 that God

00:07:18.180 --> 00:07:18.819
 exists for

00:07:18.819 --> 00:07:19.339
 me and

00:07:19.339 --> 00:07:20.079
 my wants

00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:20.860
 and my

00:07:20.860 --> 00:07:21.419
 pleasures.

00:07:22.599 --> 00:07:23.620
 But that's

00:07:23.620 --> 00:07:23.979
 not how

00:07:23.979 --> 00:07:24.539
 the story

00:07:24.539 --> 00:07:25.079
 begins.

00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:27.139
 The Bible

00:07:27.139 --> 00:07:28.000
 starts with

00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:28.680
 God.

00:07:29.740 --> 00:07:30.479
 This is

00:07:30.479 --> 00:07:32.199
 his story,

00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:34.839
 not my

00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:35.360
 story.

00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:37.939
 So who

00:07:37.939 --> 00:07:39.279
 is this

00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:39.779
 God?

00:07:41.439 --> 00:07:42.019
 Well,

00:07:42.060 --> 00:07:42.419
 as we

00:07:42.419 --> 00:07:43.000
 read on

00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:43.379
 in the

00:07:43.379 --> 00:07:43.860
 story,

00:07:44.699 --> 00:07:45.519
 we see

00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:46.159
 that God

00:07:46.159 --> 00:07:47.339
 is one.

00:07:48.459 --> 00:07:49.019
 When God

00:07:49.019 --> 00:07:49.620
 begins to

00:07:49.620 --> 00:07:50.000
 create,

00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:50.500
 he says

00:07:50.500 --> 00:07:51.199
 things like,

00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:52.300
 let there

00:07:52.300 --> 00:07:52.979
 be light

00:07:52.979 --> 00:07:54.439
 or let

00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:54.879
 there be

00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:55.860
 an expanse

00:07:55.860 --> 00:07:56.240
 in the

00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:56.639
 sky.

00:07:58.159 --> 00:07:59.019
 But when

00:07:59.019 --> 00:08:00.180
 God creates

00:08:00.180 --> 00:08:00.839
 man,

00:08:01.379 --> 00:08:02.120
 there is a

00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:02.819
 subtle but

00:08:02.819 --> 00:08:03.579
 significant

00:08:03.579 --> 00:08:04.379
 difference.

00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:05.339
 I wonder

00:08:05.339 --> 00:08:05.639
 if you

00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:06.300
 noticed this

00:08:06.300 --> 00:08:06.720
 in verse

00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:07.540
 26.

00:08:08.420 --> 00:08:08.800
 Look at

00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:09.720
 verse 26.

00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:12.420
 So this

00:08:12.420 --> 00:08:12.879
 is at

00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:13.920
 day five,

00:08:13.980 --> 00:08:14.639
 he's created

00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:15.759
 everything and

00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:16.480
 then God

00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:17.079
 said,

00:08:17.220 --> 00:08:18.160
 verse 26,

00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:19.980
 let us

00:08:19.980 --> 00:08:21.920
 make man

00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:23.120
 in our

00:08:23.120 --> 00:08:24.160
 image,

00:08:24.780 --> 00:08:25.800
 in our

00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:26.840
 likeness.

00:08:28.060 --> 00:08:28.960
 So who's

00:08:28.960 --> 00:08:29.860
 God talking

00:08:29.860 --> 00:08:30.139
 about?

00:08:30.139 --> 00:08:30.819
 God's

00:08:30.819 --> 00:08:31.139
 God's

00:08:31.139 --> 00:08:32.659
 God's

00:08:32.659 --> 00:08:34.379
 God's

00:08:34.379 --> 00:08:35.080
 word.

00:08:35.080 --> 00:08:35.460
 Who's

00:08:35.460 --> 00:08:35.659
 the

00:08:35.659 --> 00:08:36.319
 hour and

00:08:36.319 --> 00:08:36.659
 who's

00:08:36.659 --> 00:08:36.819
 the

00:08:36.819 --> 00:08:37.220
 us?

00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:38.960
 Well,

00:08:39.019 --> 00:08:39.360
 I'm not

00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:39.679
 going to

00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:40.259
 spoil it

00:08:40.259 --> 00:08:40.559
 for you

00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:41.059
 just yet

00:08:41.059 --> 00:08:41.559
 because at

00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:42.120
 this stage

00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:42.419
 in the

00:08:42.419 --> 00:08:42.740
 story,

00:08:42.860 --> 00:08:43.199
 we're not

00:08:43.199 --> 00:08:43.679
 told.

00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:44.199
 We're

00:08:44.199 --> 00:08:44.460
 maybe

00:08:44.460 --> 00:08:44.779
 given

00:08:44.779 --> 00:08:45.319
 hints,

00:08:45.639 --> 00:08:46.120
 like in

00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:46.620
 verse 2,

00:08:46.699 --> 00:08:47.299
 we're told

00:08:47.299 --> 00:08:47.799
 about the

00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:48.659
 spirit of

00:08:48.659 --> 00:08:49.139
 God is

00:08:49.139 --> 00:08:50.299
 hovering over

00:08:50.299 --> 00:08:51.120
 the waters.

00:08:52.719 --> 00:08:53.379
 But all

00:08:53.379 --> 00:08:53.959
 we need to

00:08:53.959 --> 00:08:54.299
 know at

00:08:54.299 --> 00:08:54.819
 this stage

00:08:54.819 --> 00:08:55.219
 is that

00:08:55.219 --> 00:08:55.620
 there is

00:08:55.620 --> 00:08:56.959
 a complex

00:08:56.959 --> 00:08:58.899
 unity to

00:08:58.899 --> 00:08:59.500
 God.

00:08:59.919 --> 00:09:00.539
 God is

00:09:00.539 --> 00:09:01.539
 always referred

00:09:01.539 --> 00:09:01.959
 to as

00:09:01.959 --> 00:09:02.319
 one,

00:09:02.699 --> 00:09:03.059
 but yet

00:09:03.059 --> 00:09:03.439
 he can

00:09:03.439 --> 00:09:04.099
 speak of

00:09:04.099 --> 00:09:04.779
 himself as

00:09:04.779 --> 00:09:05.659
 being us

00:09:05.659 --> 00:09:07.079
 and our.

00:09:09.099 --> 00:09:09.740
 You see,

00:09:09.819 --> 00:09:10.419
 God has

00:09:10.419 --> 00:09:11.339
 made us,

00:09:12.059 --> 00:09:13.419
 but he

00:09:13.419 --> 00:09:14.199
 does not

00:09:14.199 --> 00:09:15.379
 need us.

00:09:16.179 --> 00:09:16.859
 God is

00:09:16.859 --> 00:09:17.559
 truly

00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:18.959
 self-sufficient.

00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:20.580
 God was

00:09:20.580 --> 00:09:21.519
 not lonely

00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:22.560
 and bored

00:09:22.560 --> 00:09:23.360
 wondering who

00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:23.700
 he could

00:09:23.700 --> 00:09:24.280
 talk to,

00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:25.220
 jumping from

00:09:25.220 --> 00:09:25.840
 star to

00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:26.379
 star and

00:09:26.379 --> 00:09:26.980
 planet to

00:09:26.980 --> 00:09:27.300
 planet,

00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:28.300
 wondering what

00:09:28.300 --> 00:09:28.680
 he should

00:09:28.680 --> 00:09:29.060
 do with

00:09:29.060 --> 00:09:29.680
 his time.

00:09:31.180 --> 00:09:31.460
 No,

00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:32.440
 God exists

00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:32.960
 in this

00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:33.840
 perfect

00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:34.940
 relationship

00:09:34.940 --> 00:09:35.460
 within

00:09:35.460 --> 00:09:36.080
 himself,

00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:36.780
 the us

00:09:36.780 --> 00:09:37.180
 and the

00:09:37.180 --> 00:09:37.620
 our,

00:09:38.040 --> 00:09:38.500
 together.

00:09:39.740 --> 00:09:40.200
 And as

00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:40.400
 we'll

00:09:40.400 --> 00:09:41.040
 discover in

00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:41.400
 a minute,

00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:42.620
 we have

00:09:42.620 --> 00:09:43.480
 been created

00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:44.280
 and made

00:09:44.280 --> 00:09:45.460
 to share

00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:47.160
 in that

00:09:47.160 --> 00:09:47.820
 relationship

00:09:47.820 --> 00:09:48.560
 that God

00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:49.399
 has within

00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:50.039
 himself.

00:09:51.739 --> 00:09:52.699
 So God

00:09:52.699 --> 00:09:53.259
 is one

00:09:53.259 --> 00:09:55.579
 and this

00:09:55.579 --> 00:09:56.119
 God

00:09:56.119 --> 00:09:57.819
 is our

00:09:57.819 --> 00:09:58.439
 creator.

00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:00.439
 Back at

00:10:00.439 --> 00:10:00.979
 verse 1,

00:10:02.119 --> 00:10:03.159
 in the

00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:03.619
 beginning,

00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:05.419
 God

00:10:05.419 --> 00:10:06.779
 created

00:10:06.779 --> 00:10:07.539
 the heavens

00:10:07.539 --> 00:10:08.919
 and the

00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:09.359
 earth.

00:10:11.059 --> 00:10:11.759
 Everything

00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:13.559
 that exists,

00:10:14.599 --> 00:10:15.299
 nature,

00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:16.479
 all the

00:10:16.479 --> 00:10:17.179
 plants,

00:10:17.179 --> 00:10:17.279
 earth,

00:10:18.099 --> 00:10:18.620
 all the

00:10:18.620 --> 00:10:19.339
 trees,

00:10:20.579 --> 00:10:20.819
 the

00:10:20.819 --> 00:10:21.439
 planets,

00:10:21.659 --> 00:10:21.799
 the

00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:22.559
 stars,

00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:23.179
 the

00:10:23.179 --> 00:10:23.779
 universe

00:10:23.779 --> 00:10:24.219
 in all

00:10:24.219 --> 00:10:24.779
 its vast

00:10:24.779 --> 00:10:25.279
 expanse,

00:10:25.439 --> 00:10:25.979
 all the

00:10:25.979 --> 00:10:26.659
 creatures in

00:10:26.659 --> 00:10:27.259
 the sky

00:10:27.259 --> 00:10:27.599
 and in

00:10:27.599 --> 00:10:28.159
 the sea,

00:10:28.439 --> 00:10:29.399
 and people

00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:30.019
 themselves,

00:10:30.239 --> 00:10:31.099
 we all

00:10:31.099 --> 00:10:31.679
 have our

00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:32.699
 origins or

00:10:32.699 --> 00:10:33.259
 beginnings

00:10:33.259 --> 00:10:34.879
 in God.

00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:36.299
 God is

00:10:36.299 --> 00:10:37.059
 self-sufficient,

00:10:38.059 --> 00:10:38.679
 but we are

00:10:38.679 --> 00:10:39.159
 not.

00:10:39.359 --> 00:10:39.819
 We are

00:10:39.819 --> 00:10:40.759
 utterly and

00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:41.379
 completely

00:10:41.379 --> 00:10:42.479
 dependent on

00:10:42.479 --> 00:10:43.059
 God for

00:10:43.059 --> 00:10:44.219
 life and

00:10:44.219 --> 00:10:44.899
 for breath.

00:10:44.899 --> 00:10:45.559
 Look at

00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:46.240
 chapter 2

00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:46.919
 verse 7

00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:48.299
 where it

00:10:48.299 --> 00:10:48.860
 tells us,

00:10:48.959 --> 00:10:49.459
 the Lord

00:10:49.459 --> 00:10:50.419
 God formed

00:10:50.419 --> 00:10:50.919
 the man

00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:51.399
 from the

00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:51.959
 dust of

00:10:51.959 --> 00:10:52.480
 the ground

00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.159
 and breathed

00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:54.740
 into his

00:10:54.740 --> 00:10:55.600
 nostrils the

00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:56.220
 breath of

00:10:56.220 --> 00:10:57.199
 life and

00:10:57.199 --> 00:10:57.799
 the man

00:10:57.799 --> 00:10:59.159
 became a

00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:00.459
 living being.

00:11:01.740 --> 00:11:02.419
 God

00:11:02.419 --> 00:11:03.120
 creates

00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:03.699
 life.

00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:05.019
 God

00:11:05.019 --> 00:11:05.699
 sustains

00:11:05.699 --> 00:11:06.199
 life.

00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:07.000
 God

00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:08.079
 provides us

00:11:08.079 --> 00:11:08.960
 in life.

00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:09.740
 Therefore,

00:11:10.299 --> 00:11:11.639
 God owns

00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:12.779
 my life.

00:11:13.059 --> 00:11:14.019
 He rules

00:11:14.019 --> 00:11:14.879
 over my

00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:15.360
 life.

00:11:17.139 --> 00:11:18.019
 This is

00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:18.659
 God's

00:11:18.659 --> 00:11:19.100
 world,

00:11:19.659 --> 00:11:21.000
 not my

00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:21.559
 world.

00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:23.740
 And how

00:11:23.740 --> 00:11:24.399
 this God

00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:25.299
 has created

00:11:25.299 --> 00:11:26.639
 is really

00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:27.259
 important.

00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:29.960
 At the

00:11:29.960 --> 00:11:30.559
 very beginning

00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:30.939
 of the

00:11:30.939 --> 00:11:31.460
 story,

00:11:31.980 --> 00:11:32.600
 we're

00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:33.039
 introduced

00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:33.699
 to a

00:11:33.699 --> 00:11:34.179
 creator

00:11:34.179 --> 00:11:34.659
 God,

00:11:35.319 --> 00:11:35.759
 but a

00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:36.319
 speaking

00:11:36.319 --> 00:11:36.879
 God.

00:11:37.899 --> 00:11:38.500
 And when

00:11:38.500 --> 00:11:39.360
 he speaks,

00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:41.340
 things happen.

00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:42.779
 his words

00:11:42.779 --> 00:11:43.439
 have

00:11:43.439 --> 00:11:44.259
 power.

00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:46.639
 Maybe you

00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:47.179
 think your

00:11:47.179 --> 00:11:47.899
 words have

00:11:47.899 --> 00:11:48.340
 power.

00:11:49.419 --> 00:11:50.000
 As you

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:50.720
 try to tell

00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:51.399
 people what

00:11:51.399 --> 00:11:51.939
 to do.

00:11:52.439 --> 00:11:53.240
 I try that

00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:54.000
 sometimes at

00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:54.259
 home.

00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:55.720
 But my

00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:56.360
 words really

00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:56.819
 don't have

00:11:56.819 --> 00:11:57.559
 much power.

00:11:58.340 --> 00:11:58.879
 I can't

00:11:58.879 --> 00:11:59.480
 make anything

00:11:59.480 --> 00:11:59.919
 happen.

00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:00.600
 Everybody

00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:01.120
 seems to

00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:01.379
 do what

00:12:01.379 --> 00:12:01.860
 they like.

00:12:02.360 --> 00:12:02.639
 Don't

00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:03.039
 listen to

00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:03.379
 that at

00:12:03.379 --> 00:12:03.679
 all.

00:12:04.139 --> 00:12:04.559
 But look

00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:04.939
 at verse

00:12:04.939 --> 00:12:05.399
 three.

00:12:06.700 --> 00:12:07.679
 And God

00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:08.299
 said,

00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:09.600
 let there

00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:10.439
 be light.

00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:12.639
 light.

00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:13.819
 And there

00:12:13.819 --> 00:12:14.840
 was light.

00:12:16.139 --> 00:12:16.500
 God

00:12:16.500 --> 00:12:17.159
 speaks

00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:17.759
 life,

00:12:17.899 --> 00:12:18.399
 the world,

00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:19.199
 the universe

00:12:19.199 --> 00:12:20.600
 into existence.

00:12:21.419 --> 00:12:21.860
 And throughout

00:12:21.860 --> 00:12:22.500
 the first

00:12:22.500 --> 00:12:23.000
 chapter,

00:12:23.319 --> 00:12:24.080
 we continue

00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:24.819
 to read

00:12:24.819 --> 00:12:25.539
 like in

00:12:25.539 --> 00:12:26.220
 verses six

00:12:26.220 --> 00:12:26.759
 and seven.

00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:27.639
 And God

00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:28.360
 said,

00:12:29.460 --> 00:12:30.059
 and it

00:12:30.059 --> 00:12:30.679
 was so.

00:12:31.379 --> 00:12:31.879
 Or look

00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:32.259
 at verse

00:12:32.259 --> 00:12:32.620
 nine,

00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:33.019
 the beginning

00:12:33.019 --> 00:12:33.399
 of verse

00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:33.699
 nine.

00:12:33.699 --> 00:12:34.580
 And God

00:12:34.580 --> 00:12:35.299
 said,

00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:35.980
 let the

00:12:35.980 --> 00:12:37.019
 water under

00:12:37.019 --> 00:12:37.580
 the sky

00:12:37.580 --> 00:12:38.120
 be gathered

00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:38.720
 into one

00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:39.240
 place and

00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:39.720
 let dry

00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:40.039
 ground

00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:40.500
 appear.

00:12:41.179 --> 00:12:41.939
 And it

00:12:41.939 --> 00:12:42.759
 was so.

00:12:44.839 --> 00:12:45.339
 Through

00:12:45.339 --> 00:12:46.079
 the spoken

00:12:46.079 --> 00:12:46.740
 word,

00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:47.799
 God

00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:48.480
 brings

00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:49.199
 about

00:12:49.199 --> 00:12:50.120
 life.

00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:52.939
 John

00:12:52.939 --> 00:12:53.500
 Stott,

00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:55.339
 who's now

00:12:55.339 --> 00:12:56.039
 with

00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:57.059
 God,

00:12:58.279 --> 00:12:58.719
 helpfully

00:12:58.719 --> 00:12:59.679
 describes the

00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:00.219
 power of

00:13:00.219 --> 00:13:00.819
 God's word

00:13:00.819 --> 00:13:01.459
 in creation

00:13:01.459 --> 00:13:01.980
 like this.

00:13:02.159 --> 00:13:02.959
 He explained

00:13:02.959 --> 00:13:03.459
 it in this

00:13:03.459 --> 00:13:04.179
 helpful way.

00:13:04.659 --> 00:13:05.259
 The word

00:13:05.259 --> 00:13:05.919
 of God

00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:07.459
 is proclaimed

00:13:07.459 --> 00:13:08.719
 in heaven's

00:13:08.719 --> 00:13:09.259
 pulpit

00:13:09.259 --> 00:13:10.700
 and all

00:13:10.700 --> 00:13:11.299
 comes to

00:13:11.299 --> 00:13:11.799
 pass.

00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:13.159
 The preaching,

00:13:13.419 --> 00:13:14.139
 the speaking

00:13:14.139 --> 00:13:14.879
 of God's

00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:16.139
 word forms

00:13:16.139 --> 00:13:16.819
 the universe.

00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:17.980
 The word

00:13:17.980 --> 00:13:18.879
 preached by

00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:19.679
 God is no

00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:20.659
 empty word.

00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:22.019
 It accomplishes

00:13:22.019 --> 00:13:22.779
 and achieves

00:13:22.779 --> 00:13:23.460
 the purpose

00:13:23.460 --> 00:13:24.299
 for which

00:13:24.299 --> 00:13:25.139
 it was

00:13:25.139 --> 00:13:25.620
 spoken.

00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:27.879
 God's

00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:28.399
 word

00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:29.620
 has

00:13:29.620 --> 00:13:30.439
 power.

00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:31.440
 God's

00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:31.480
 love.

00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:32.440
 God's

00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:33.480
 love.

00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:35.440
 And this

00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:36.880
 one creator

00:13:36.880 --> 00:13:37.980
 speaking

00:13:37.980 --> 00:13:38.520
 God,

00:13:39.040 --> 00:13:40.860
 who spoke

00:13:40.860 --> 00:13:41.880
 creation into

00:13:41.880 --> 00:13:42.620
 existence,

00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:44.020
 does so with

00:13:44.020 --> 00:13:45.740
 amazing order

00:13:45.740 --> 00:13:47.420
 and precision.

00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:48.940
 Again, look at

00:13:48.940 --> 00:13:49.580
 verse 1,

00:13:49.980 --> 00:13:50.660
 chapter 1.

00:13:51.420 --> 00:13:52.080
 In the

00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:52.500
 beginning,

00:13:53.160 --> 00:13:54.220
 God created

00:13:54.220 --> 00:13:54.820
 the heavens

00:13:54.820 --> 00:13:55.200
 and the

00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:55.540
 earth.

00:13:55.539 --> 00:13:56.480
 Now the

00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:57.419
 earth was

00:13:57.419 --> 00:13:58.259
 formless

00:13:58.259 --> 00:14:00.159
 and empty

00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:02.000
 and darkness

00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:02.839
 was over the

00:14:02.839 --> 00:14:03.539
 surface of the

00:14:03.539 --> 00:14:04.419
 deep and the

00:14:04.419 --> 00:14:05.399
 spirit of God

00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:06.120
 was hovering

00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:07.500
 over the

00:14:07.500 --> 00:14:07.980
 waters.

00:14:09.579 --> 00:14:10.419
 Do you see

00:14:10.419 --> 00:14:11.339
 those two words

00:14:11.339 --> 00:14:12.360
 there in verse

00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:12.679
 2?

00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:13.599
 Formless

00:14:13.599 --> 00:14:15.459
 and empty.

00:14:15.959 --> 00:14:16.779
 That's the

00:14:16.779 --> 00:14:17.279
 scene.

00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:17.759
 If we can

00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:18.539
 kind of picture

00:14:18.539 --> 00:14:19.199
 that in our

00:14:19.199 --> 00:14:19.819
 own minds,

00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:21.079
 formless and

00:14:21.079 --> 00:14:21.500
 empty,

00:14:21.839 --> 00:14:22.659
 that's what was

00:14:22.659 --> 00:14:23.339
 at the beginning.

00:14:23.340 --> 00:14:24.660
 If we could

00:14:24.660 --> 00:14:25.420
 imagine in

00:14:25.420 --> 00:14:26.040
 some ways

00:14:26.040 --> 00:14:27.220
 an out of

00:14:27.220 --> 00:14:27.800
 shape,

00:14:28.899 --> 00:14:30.620
 watery ball

00:14:30.620 --> 00:14:31.860
 that is suspended

00:14:31.860 --> 00:14:32.720
 in utter

00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:33.480
 darkness.

00:14:34.519 --> 00:14:35.500
 No life.

00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:37.300
 Uninhabitable.

00:14:40.860 --> 00:14:41.960
 And then

00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:43.360
 God speaks

00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:46.379
 to this

00:14:46.379 --> 00:14:47.660
 formless,

00:14:48.180 --> 00:14:48.680
 empty

00:14:48.680 --> 00:14:50.100
 sphere

00:14:50.100 --> 00:14:51.340
 that is

00:14:51.340 --> 00:14:51.680
 just

00:14:51.680 --> 00:14:52.460
 suspending

00:14:52.460 --> 00:14:53.280
 in

00:14:53.280 --> 00:14:53.759
 darkness.

00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:55.139
 On the

00:14:55.139 --> 00:14:55.759
 first three

00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:56.480
 days as we

00:14:56.480 --> 00:14:57.139
 follow through

00:14:57.139 --> 00:14:57.899
 chapter 1,

00:14:58.360 --> 00:14:59.720
 God forms

00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:00.960
 the formless

00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:01.399
 world.

00:15:01.820 --> 00:15:02.379
 And on the

00:15:02.379 --> 00:15:03.040
 second three

00:15:03.040 --> 00:15:03.500
 days,

00:15:03.800 --> 00:15:04.759
 he fills

00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:05.920
 the empty

00:15:05.920 --> 00:15:06.360
 world.

00:15:06.800 --> 00:15:07.420
 So let's

00:15:07.420 --> 00:15:07.940
 look at this

00:15:07.940 --> 00:15:08.660
 pattern and

00:15:08.660 --> 00:15:09.300
 design of

00:15:09.300 --> 00:15:09.860
 creation.

00:15:10.160 --> 00:15:10.540
 We'll go

00:15:10.540 --> 00:15:10.879
 through it

00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:11.139
 quickly.

00:15:11.300 --> 00:15:11.680
 On day

00:15:11.680 --> 00:15:12.180
 one,

00:15:13.540 --> 00:15:14.300
 starting at

00:15:14.300 --> 00:15:15.000
 verse 3,

00:15:15.300 --> 00:15:15.820
 we're told

00:15:15.820 --> 00:15:16.240
 there that

00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:17.280
 God forms

00:15:17.280 --> 00:15:18.040
 the light

00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.259
 and separates

00:15:20.259 --> 00:15:21.139
 light from

00:15:21.139 --> 00:15:21.759
 darkness.

00:15:23.299 --> 00:15:24.159
 Then on

00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:25.219
 day four,

00:15:25.620 --> 00:15:26.240
 which is in

00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:27.079
 verse 14,

00:15:27.539 --> 00:15:28.819
 God fills

00:15:28.819 --> 00:15:30.319
 the light

00:15:30.319 --> 00:15:30.699
 and the

00:15:30.699 --> 00:15:31.419
 darkness with

00:15:31.419 --> 00:15:32.019
 the sun

00:15:32.019 --> 00:15:32.699
 and the

00:15:32.699 --> 00:15:33.500
 moon and

00:15:33.500 --> 00:15:34.120
 the stars

00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:34.500
 and he

00:15:34.500 --> 00:15:35.259
 scatters them

00:15:35.259 --> 00:15:36.240
 all into

00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:36.919
 their various

00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:37.819
 places to

00:15:37.819 --> 00:15:38.240
 the ones

00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:38.839
 that actually

00:15:38.839 --> 00:15:39.500
 give the

00:15:39.500 --> 00:15:39.939
 light.

00:15:41.500 --> 00:15:42.179
 Then on

00:15:42.179 --> 00:15:43.019
 day two,

00:15:43.719 --> 00:15:44.459
 starting at

00:15:44.459 --> 00:15:45.120
 verse 6,

00:15:45.539 --> 00:15:46.620
 God forms

00:15:46.620 --> 00:15:47.340
 the sea

00:15:47.340 --> 00:15:47.799
 and the

00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:48.320
 sky.

00:15:48.740 --> 00:15:49.139
 So the

00:15:49.139 --> 00:15:49.620
 sea and

00:15:49.620 --> 00:15:50.139
 the sky

00:15:50.139 --> 00:15:51.039
 are separated.

00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:51.860
 Then on

00:15:51.860 --> 00:15:52.659
 day five,

00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:53.419
 verse 20,

00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:54.899
 God fills

00:15:54.899 --> 00:15:55.500
 the sea

00:15:55.500 --> 00:15:56.039
 with all

00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:56.700
 kinds of

00:15:56.700 --> 00:15:57.700
 living creatures

00:15:57.700 --> 00:15:58.679
 and fish

00:15:58.679 --> 00:15:59.379
 and eels

00:15:59.379 --> 00:15:59.779
 and all

00:15:59.779 --> 00:16:00.100
 the little

00:16:00.100 --> 00:16:00.779
 shellfish.

00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:01.460
 And then

00:16:01.460 --> 00:16:02.419
 God fills

00:16:02.419 --> 00:16:03.120
 the sky

00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:03.620
 with the

00:16:03.620 --> 00:16:04.200
 birds of

00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:04.659
 the air.

00:16:04.980 --> 00:16:05.700
 He forms

00:16:05.700 --> 00:16:06.159
 it and

00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:06.500
 then he

00:16:06.500 --> 00:16:07.259
 fills it

00:16:07.259 --> 00:16:07.919
 with life.

00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:09.560
 And then

00:16:09.560 --> 00:16:10.019
 on day

00:16:10.019 --> 00:16:10.600
 three,

00:16:11.340 --> 00:16:12.000
 starting at

00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:12.659
 verse 9,

00:16:13.060 --> 00:16:14.019
 God forms

00:16:14.019 --> 00:16:14.740
 the land

00:16:14.740 --> 00:16:15.100
 and the

00:16:15.100 --> 00:16:15.779
 vegetation,

00:16:15.779 --> 00:16:17.000
 the mountains,

00:16:17.259 --> 00:16:17.839
 the hills,

00:16:18.199 --> 00:16:18.879
 the trees,

00:16:19.019 --> 00:16:19.620
 the plants.

00:16:20.019 --> 00:16:20.399
 Then on

00:16:20.399 --> 00:16:21.159
 day six,

00:16:21.459 --> 00:16:22.079
 starting at

00:16:22.079 --> 00:16:22.860
 verse 24,

00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:24.360
 God fills

00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:24.959
 the land

00:16:24.959 --> 00:16:25.819
 with animals

00:16:25.819 --> 00:16:26.559
 that roam

00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:27.059
 the earth

00:16:27.059 --> 00:16:27.779
 in all the

00:16:27.779 --> 00:16:28.399
 tiny little

00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:29.079
 bugs and

00:16:29.079 --> 00:16:29.980
 insects to

00:16:29.980 --> 00:16:30.459
 the great

00:16:30.459 --> 00:16:31.339
 big dinosaurs

00:16:31.339 --> 00:16:32.199
 that at

00:16:32.199 --> 00:16:32.919
 one stage

00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:33.559
 roamed

00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:34.559
 the earth.

00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:36.759
 And

00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:37.360
 alongside

00:16:37.360 --> 00:16:38.339
 the animals,

00:16:38.539 --> 00:16:39.559
 God fills

00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:40.240
 the land

00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:41.860
 with people.

00:16:43.620 --> 00:16:44.059
 Do you

00:16:44.059 --> 00:16:44.619
 see the

00:16:44.619 --> 00:16:45.459
 world that

00:16:45.459 --> 00:16:46.079
 we live

00:16:46.079 --> 00:16:46.399
 in?

00:16:47.479 --> 00:16:48.619
 It's not

00:16:48.619 --> 00:16:49.519
 random.

00:16:50.479 --> 00:16:51.619
 This is no

00:16:51.619 --> 00:16:52.379
 accident,

00:16:52.579 --> 00:16:53.000
 the world

00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:53.439
 that we

00:16:53.439 --> 00:16:53.799
 are in.

00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:54.500
 We are

00:16:54.500 --> 00:16:55.059
 not here

00:16:55.059 --> 00:16:55.819
 by chance.

00:16:56.099 --> 00:16:56.599
 We're not

00:16:56.599 --> 00:16:58.079
 some kind

00:16:58.079 --> 00:16:59.019
 of primeval

00:16:59.019 --> 00:17:00.119
 slime that's

00:17:00.119 --> 00:17:00.579
 come from

00:17:00.579 --> 00:17:01.279
 nowhere and

00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:01.779
 nothing and

00:17:01.779 --> 00:17:02.359
 kind of

00:17:02.359 --> 00:17:03.119
 formed into

00:17:03.119 --> 00:17:03.819
 a blob and

00:17:03.819 --> 00:17:04.700
 eventually grew

00:17:04.700 --> 00:17:05.299
 into some

00:17:05.299 --> 00:17:05.740
 kind of

00:17:05.740 --> 00:17:06.559
 species and

00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:07.579
 developed and

00:17:07.579 --> 00:17:08.059
 so on.

00:17:08.299 --> 00:17:08.960
 We're not

00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:09.419
 here by

00:17:09.419 --> 00:17:10.200
 chance or

00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:10.819
 some big

00:17:10.819 --> 00:17:11.859
 unexplained

00:17:11.859 --> 00:17:12.839
 big bang.

00:17:14.659 --> 00:17:15.599
 We're here

00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:16.439
 because God

00:17:16.439 --> 00:17:17.740
 formed us

00:17:17.740 --> 00:17:18.699
 and made

00:17:18.699 --> 00:17:19.159
 us and

00:17:19.159 --> 00:17:20.199
 filled the

00:17:20.199 --> 00:17:20.699
 earth with

00:17:20.699 --> 00:17:21.119
 all its

00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:21.619
 beautiful

00:17:21.619 --> 00:17:22.279
 creation.

00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:23.439
 That means

00:17:23.439 --> 00:17:24.039
 that my

00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:24.899
 life today

00:17:24.899 --> 00:17:25.679
 has meaning

00:17:25.679 --> 00:17:26.500
 and purpose.

00:17:27.139 --> 00:17:27.740
 I'm no

00:17:27.740 --> 00:17:28.919
 accident or

00:17:28.919 --> 00:17:30.000
 no mistake.

00:17:30.679 --> 00:17:31.259
 God has

00:17:31.259 --> 00:17:32.459
 created us

00:17:32.459 --> 00:17:33.299
 and God

00:17:33.299 --> 00:17:34.079
 has designed

00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:34.899
 and ordered

00:17:34.899 --> 00:17:35.740
 such a

00:17:35.740 --> 00:17:36.899
 beautiful world

00:17:36.899 --> 00:17:37.759
 for us

00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:38.539
 to live

00:17:38.539 --> 00:17:38.839
 in.

00:17:38.839 --> 00:17:38.899
 Amen.

00:17:38.899 --> 00:17:38.939
 Amen.

00:17:38.939 --> 00:17:39.000
 Amen.

00:17:41.859 --> 00:17:45.339
 And God

00:17:45.339 --> 00:17:47.019
 is not

00:17:47.019 --> 00:17:47.759
 only ordered

00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.819
 but God

00:17:49.819 --> 00:17:50.719
 is good.

00:17:52.219 --> 00:17:52.519
 Do you

00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:52.839
 see what

00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:53.419
 he says

00:17:53.419 --> 00:17:53.959
 as God

00:17:53.959 --> 00:17:54.819
 finished each

00:17:54.819 --> 00:17:55.459
 stage of

00:17:55.459 --> 00:17:56.599
 forming and

00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:57.659
 filling the

00:17:57.659 --> 00:17:58.359
 world in which

00:17:58.359 --> 00:17:58.899
 he made?

00:17:59.479 --> 00:17:59.839
 Do you see

00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:00.519
 what it says

00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:01.439
 in verse 4?

00:18:03.679 --> 00:18:04.479
 Beginning of

00:18:04.479 --> 00:18:05.099
 verse 4

00:18:05.099 --> 00:18:05.619
 after he

00:18:05.619 --> 00:18:06.119
 made the

00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:06.779
 light God

00:18:06.779 --> 00:18:07.619
 saw that

00:18:07.619 --> 00:18:08.240
 the light

00:18:08.240 --> 00:18:08.879
 was

00:18:08.879 --> 00:18:10.439
 good.

00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:12.420
 then

00:18:12.420 --> 00:18:12.880
 down at

00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:13.600
 verse 10

00:18:13.600 --> 00:18:14.860
 at the

00:18:14.860 --> 00:18:15.400
 very end

00:18:15.400 --> 00:18:15.740
 of verse

00:18:15.740 --> 00:18:16.059
 10

00:18:16.059 --> 00:18:16.960
 and God

00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:17.740
 saw that

00:18:17.740 --> 00:18:18.240
 it was

00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:19.200
 good

00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:20.559
 at the

00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:20.940
 end of

00:18:20.940 --> 00:18:21.660
 verse 12

00:18:21.660 --> 00:18:22.480
 and God

00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:23.259
 saw that

00:18:23.259 --> 00:18:23.740
 it was

00:18:23.740 --> 00:18:24.080
 good

00:18:24.080 --> 00:18:24.799
 and after

00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:25.860
 each piece

00:18:25.860 --> 00:18:26.519
 of creation

00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:26.960
 God

00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:27.680
 looks and

00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:28.460
 marvels at

00:18:34.299 --> 00:18:34.900
 beginning

00:18:34.900 --> 00:18:36.660
 it was

00:18:36.660 --> 00:18:37.480
 all good

00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:37.840
 because

00:18:37.840 --> 00:18:38.380
 there was

00:18:38.380 --> 00:18:38.740
 no

00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:44.940
 was no

00:18:56.220 --> 00:18:56.759
 there

00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:57.299
 was no

00:18:58.160 --> 00:18:58.700

00:18:58.700 --> 00:19:00.079
 there

00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:00.640
 was just

00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:01.259
 unity

00:19:01.259 --> 00:19:01.920
 and

00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:02.500
 beauty

00:19:02.500 --> 00:19:03.019
 and

00:19:03.019 --> 00:19:03.519
 harmony

00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:04.299
 with man

00:19:04.299 --> 00:19:05.099
 and creation

00:19:05.099 --> 00:19:06.200
 in existence

00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:06.920
 together

00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:08.100
 and God

00:19:08.100 --> 00:19:08.800
 looks at it

00:19:08.800 --> 00:19:09.039
 all

00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:09.340
 and it

00:19:09.340 --> 00:19:10.120
 was good

00:19:10.120 --> 00:19:13.200
 and then

00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:13.759
 into this

00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:14.820
 good world

00:19:14.820 --> 00:19:15.460
 that God

00:19:15.460 --> 00:19:15.940
 makes

00:19:15.940 --> 00:19:17.039
 he creates

00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:17.920
 mankind

00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:19.080
 and look

00:19:19.080 --> 00:19:19.720
 what he says

00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:20.140
 when he

00:19:20.140 --> 00:19:20.960
 makes man

00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:23.220
 verse 31

00:19:23.220 --> 00:19:26.600
 God

00:19:26.600 --> 00:19:27.740
 saw all

00:19:27.740 --> 00:19:28.400
 that he

00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:29.259
 had made

00:19:29.259 --> 00:19:30.079
 and it

00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:30.640
 was

00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:33.000
 very

00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:34.059
 good

00:19:34.059 --> 00:19:35.900
 with the

00:19:35.900 --> 00:19:36.779
 creation of

00:19:36.779 --> 00:19:37.360
 male and

00:19:37.360 --> 00:19:37.740
 female

00:19:37.740 --> 00:19:38.920
 it's not

00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:39.460
 just

00:19:39.460 --> 00:19:40.259
 good

00:19:40.259 --> 00:19:42.480
 this is

00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:43.680
 very good

00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:44.880
 the pinnacle

00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:45.600
 of God's

00:19:45.600 --> 00:19:46.220
 creation

00:19:46.220 --> 00:19:47.339
 mankind

00:19:47.339 --> 00:19:48.700
 God

00:19:48.700 --> 00:19:49.680

00:19:51.320 --> 00:19:51.840
 does

00:19:51.840 --> 00:19:52.380
 for us

00:19:52.380 --> 00:19:53.300
 is good

00:19:53.300 --> 00:19:54.140
 and every

00:19:57.660 --> 00:19:57.860
 us

00:19:57.860 --> 00:19:58.340
 because

00:19:58.340 --> 00:19:58.920
 God

00:19:58.920 --> 00:19:59.220
 is

00:19:59.220 --> 00:19:59.840
 good

00:19:59.840 --> 00:20:05.240
 and

00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:05.640
 God

00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:05.860

00:20:09.900 --> 00:20:11.560
 verse 2

00:20:11.560 --> 00:20:13.300
 by the

00:20:13.300 --> 00:20:13.860
 seventh

00:20:13.860 --> 00:20:14.300
 day

00:20:14.300 --> 00:20:15.660
 God

00:20:15.660 --> 00:20:15.860
 had

00:20:15.860 --> 00:20:16.420
 finished

00:20:16.420 --> 00:20:17.020
 the work

00:20:17.020 --> 00:20:17.480
 he had

00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:17.720
 been

00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:18.180
 doing

00:20:18.180 --> 00:20:19.100
 so on

 the

00:20:19.340 --> 00:20:19.799
 seventh

00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:20.220
 day

00:20:20.220 --> 00:20:20.620

00:20:20.620 --> 00:20:21.700
 rested

00:20:21.700 --> 00:20:23.460
 or he

00:20:23.460 --> 00:20:24.120
 ceased

00:20:24.120 --> 00:20:25.299
 from all

00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:25.759
 his

00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:26.620
 work

00:20:26.620 --> 00:20:28.220
 the work

00:20:28.220 --> 00:20:29.039
 of creation

00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:30.080
 had been

00:20:30.080 --> 00:20:30.519
 done

00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:31.299
 it

00:20:31.299 --> 00:20:32.240
 is

00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:33.500
 finished

00:20:33.500 --> 00:20:35.100
 nothing

00:20:35.100 --> 00:20:35.720
 else to

00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:36.000
 do

00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:36.720
 yes of

00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:37.080
 course

00:20:37.080 --> 00:20:37.620
 he's still

00:20:37.620 --> 00:20:38.460
 sustaining

00:20:38.460 --> 00:20:39.060
 the world

00:20:39.060 --> 00:20:39.940
 and maintaining

00:20:39.940 --> 00:20:40.299
 it

00:20:40.299 --> 00:20:40.980
 and making

00:20:40.980 --> 00:20:41.640
 sure the

00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:42.460
 seasons go

00:20:42.460 --> 00:20:42.860
 the way

00:20:42.860 --> 00:20:43.299
 they go

00:20:43.299 --> 00:20:43.799
 and holding

00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:44.480
 everything

00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:45.460
 in its

00:20:45.460 --> 00:20:45.980
 exact

00:20:45.980 --> 00:20:46.700
 and precise

00:20:46.700 --> 00:20:47.400
 place

00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:48.900
 but creation

00:20:48.900 --> 00:20:49.680
 is done

00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:51.500
 all that

00:20:51.500 --> 00:20:52.200
 is left

00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:52.840
 is for

00:20:52.840 --> 00:20:53.400
 God's

 created

00:20:53.900 --> 00:20:54.460
 people

00:20:54.460 --> 00:20:55.800
 to enjoy

00:20:55.800 --> 00:20:56.860
 and delight

00:20:56.860 --> 00:20:57.480
 in all

00:20:57.480 --> 00:20:58.060
 that God

00:20:58.060 --> 00:20:58.640
 has done

00:20:58.640 --> 00:20:59.000
 for them

00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:00.640
 to rest

00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:02.460
 in a

00:21:02.460 --> 00:21:02.840
 God

00:21:02.840 --> 00:21:03.360
 who has

00:21:03.360 --> 00:21:04.019
 made

00:21:04.019 --> 00:21:04.740
 and done

00:21:04.740 --> 00:21:05.480
 everything

00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:06.140

00:21:06.140 --> 00:21:06.660
 for us

00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:07.460
 this is

00:21:07.460 --> 00:21:08.000
 the God

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:08.360
 that we

00:21:08.360 --> 00:21:08.660
 have

00:21:08.660 --> 00:21:09.700
 who invites

00:21:09.700 --> 00:21:09.980

00:21:10.960 --> 00:21:12.060
 in him

00:21:12.059 --> 00:21:18.139
 and so

00:21:18.139 --> 00:21:18.539
 as we

00:21:18.539 --> 00:21:18.859
 look

00:21:18.859 --> 00:21:19.639
 at the

00:21:19.639 --> 00:21:20.000
 beginning

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:20.440
 of the

00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:20.960
 story

00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:22.559
 we are

00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:23.159
 introduced

00:21:23.159 --> 00:21:24.379
 to God

00:21:24.379 --> 00:21:25.259
 in all

00:21:38.539 --> 00:21:39.160
 at how

00:21:39.160 --> 00:21:39.640
 God

00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:40.580
 introduces

00:21:40.580 --> 00:21:41.160
 himself

 vast

00:21:42.740 --> 00:21:44.140
 unexplored

00:21:44.140 --> 00:21:44.700
 universe

00:21:44.700 --> 00:21:45.600

00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:01.240
 know of it

00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:02.000

00:22:04.980 --> 00:22:05.519
 except for

00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:06.180
 there are

00:22:06.180 --> 00:22:06.759
 no walls

00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:07.119
 it just

00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:07.720
 goes on

00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:08.259
 forever

00:22:08.259 --> 00:22:09.200
 and forever

00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:10.319
 but yet

00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:11.079
 this God

00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:11.440
 who has

00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:12.220
 created it

00:22:12.220 --> 00:22:12.480
 all

00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:13.539
 who existed

00:22:13.539 --> 00:22:14.319
 from before

00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:14.900
 beginning

00:22:14.900 --> 00:22:16.240
 spoke it

00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:16.799
 all into

00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:17.319
 existence

00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:17.980
 by his

00:22:17.980 --> 00:22:18.400
 word

00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:20.559
 amazing

00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:22.660
 perfectly

00:22:22.660 --> 00:22:23.559
 designed

00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:25.019
 perfectly

00:22:25.019 --> 00:22:25.680
 ordered

00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:27.579
 every planet

00:22:27.579 --> 00:22:28.379
 spinning the

00:22:28.379 --> 00:22:28.740
 way it

00:22:28.740 --> 00:22:29.200
 should be

00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:30.019
 the sun

00:22:30.019 --> 00:22:30.400
 where it

00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:30.700
 should be

00:22:30.700 --> 00:22:31.299
 the moon

00:22:31.299 --> 00:22:31.779
 where it

00:22:31.779 --> 00:22:32.259
 should be

00:22:32.259 --> 00:22:32.920
 everything

00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:33.599
 existing

00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:34.099
 together

00:22:34.099 --> 00:22:34.599
 so that

00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:34.980
 we

00:22:34.980 --> 00:22:35.579
 have

00:22:35.579 --> 00:22:36.380
 life

00:22:36.380 --> 00:22:37.259
 on planet

00:22:37.259 --> 00:22:37.740
 earth

00:22:37.740 --> 00:22:40.019
 and God

00:22:40.019 --> 00:22:40.660
 did it all

00:22:40.660 --> 00:22:41.339
 so that we

00:22:41.339 --> 00:22:42.420
 could know

00:22:42.420 --> 00:22:42.839
 him

00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:43.759
 so that we

00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:44.660
 could enjoy

00:22:44.660 --> 00:22:45.059
 him

00:22:45.059 --> 00:22:46.099
 the beauty

00:22:46.099 --> 00:22:47.180
 the power

00:22:47.180 --> 00:22:48.099
 the greatness

00:22:48.099 --> 00:22:48.920
 the glory

00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:50.200
 is all on

00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:51.180
 display as we

00:22:51.180 --> 00:22:51.720
 were singing

00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:52.380
 earlier and

00:22:52.380 --> 00:22:53.099
 reading from the

00:22:53.099 --> 00:22:53.420
 psalms

00:22:53.420 --> 00:22:54.640
 it's all there

00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:55.440
 to glory and

00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:56.480
 say look at

00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:56.920
 God

00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:57.940
 look at what

00:22:57.940 --> 00:22:58.779
 he has made

00:22:58.779 --> 00:23:00.059
 it demands

00:23:00.059 --> 00:23:00.819
 and it

00:23:00.819 --> 00:23:01.500
 deserves

00:23:01.500 --> 00:23:02.500
 all of our

00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:02.880
 worship

00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:04.259
 and all of

00:23:04.259 --> 00:23:05.099
 our lives

00:23:05.099 --> 00:23:08.879
 in the

00:23:08.879 --> 00:23:09.480
 beginning

00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:11.740
 God

00:23:11.740 --> 00:23:17.859
 second

00:23:17.859 --> 00:23:20.619
 God

00:23:20.619 --> 00:23:21.940
 created

00:23:21.940 --> 00:23:22.960
 man

00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.400
 made

00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:28.000
 in God's

00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:28.440
 image

00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:30.279
 look at

00:23:30.279 --> 00:23:31.279
 verse 26

00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:45.740
 verse 27

00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:46.359
 so God

00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:47.420
 created man

00:23:47.420 --> 00:23:48.319
 in his own

00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:48.859
 image

00:23:48.859 --> 00:23:50.079
 in the image

00:23:50.079 --> 00:23:50.680
 of God

00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:51.720
 he created

00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:52.079
 him

00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:53.119
 you see

00:23:53.119 --> 00:23:54.240
 we're part

00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:55.440
 of God's

00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:56.000
 creation

00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:57.779
 but yet

00:23:57.779 --> 00:23:58.400
 but yet

00:23:58.400 --> 00:23:59.299
 we're unique

00:23:59.299 --> 00:24:00.920
 we're the

00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:01.720
 same as

00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:02.359
 the animals

00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:03.720
 we've got

00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:04.220
 blood

00:24:04.220 --> 00:24:05.339
 and flesh

00:24:05.339 --> 00:24:06.339
 and bone

00:24:06.339 --> 00:24:07.640
 we live

00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:08.180
 we die

00:24:08.180 --> 00:24:08.740
 we eat

00:24:08.740 --> 00:24:09.460
 we sleep

00:24:09.460 --> 00:24:10.200
 but we're

00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:10.900
 different

00:24:10.900 --> 00:24:12.140
 to the

00:24:12.140 --> 00:24:12.579
 animals

00:24:12.579 --> 00:24:13.619
 because why

00:24:13.619 --> 00:24:14.700
 we're made

00:24:14.700 --> 00:24:15.980
 in God's

00:24:15.980 --> 00:24:16.519
 image

00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:18.380
 unlike the

00:24:18.380 --> 00:24:18.900
 rest of

00:24:18.900 --> 00:24:19.519
 creation

00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:20.720
 something

00:24:20.720 --> 00:24:21.759
 of who

00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:22.420
 this God

00:24:22.420 --> 00:24:22.839
 is that

00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:23.259
 we've been

00:24:23.259 --> 00:24:23.740
 looking at

00:24:23.740 --> 00:24:24.480
 something

00:24:24.480 --> 00:24:24.960
 of this

00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:25.480
 awesome

00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:25.980
 amazing

00:24:25.980 --> 00:24:26.400
 God

00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:27.740
 is who

00:24:27.740 --> 00:24:28.480
 we are

00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:30.920
 we reflect

00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:32.140
 or mirror

00:24:32.140 --> 00:24:33.200
 God's

00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:33.900
 nature

00:24:33.900 --> 00:24:34.700
 his character

00:24:34.700 --> 00:24:35.500
 we reflect

00:24:35.500 --> 00:24:36.140
 something

00:24:36.140 --> 00:24:36.680
 of who

00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:37.480
 God is

00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:39.980
 so just

00:24:39.980 --> 00:24:40.620
 as God

00:24:40.620 --> 00:24:41.079
 has a

00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:41.759
 relationship

00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:42.620
 within

00:24:42.620 --> 00:24:43.279
 himself

00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:44.500
 so we

00:24:44.500 --> 00:24:45.079
 now get

00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:45.940
 to share

00:24:45.940 --> 00:24:46.880
 in that

00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:47.640
 eternal

00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:48.920
 relationship

00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:49.240
 relationship

00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:50.779
 we can

00:24:50.779 --> 00:24:51.460
 relate to

00:24:51.460 --> 00:24:51.900
 God in

00:24:51.900 --> 00:24:52.360
 ways that

00:24:52.360 --> 00:24:52.720
 the rest

00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:53.340
 of creation

00:24:53.340 --> 00:24:53.920
 can't

00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:54.880
 nothing else

00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:55.240
 in all

00:24:55.240 --> 00:24:55.720
 creation

00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:56.279
 has that

00:24:56.279 --> 00:24:56.880
 privilege

00:24:56.880 --> 00:24:58.220
 the God

00:24:58.220 --> 00:24:59.100
 who spoke

00:24:59.100 --> 00:25:00.240
 us into

00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:00.840
 existence

00:25:00.840 --> 00:25:01.980
 and breathed

00:25:01.980 --> 00:25:02.759
 life into

00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:03.400
 our being

00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:04.680
 now speaks

00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:05.500
 to us

00:25:05.500 --> 00:25:07.259
 and we

00:25:07.259 --> 00:25:08.180
 can speak

00:25:08.180 --> 00:25:09.060
 to him

00:25:09.060 --> 00:25:10.960
 the God

00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:11.700
 who created

00:25:11.700 --> 00:25:12.160
 us

00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:13.660
 now enables

00:25:13.660 --> 00:25:14.560
 us to be

00:25:14.560 --> 00:25:15.160
 creative

00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:16.539
 to design

00:25:16.539 --> 00:25:16.980
 things

00:25:16.980 --> 00:25:17.519
 to make

00:25:17.519 --> 00:25:17.960
 things

00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:18.900
 not least

00:25:18.900 --> 00:25:19.200
 as it

00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:19.639
 goes on

00:25:19.639 --> 00:25:20.019
 to say

00:25:20.019 --> 00:25:20.740
 in creating

00:25:20.740 --> 00:25:21.559
 or rather

00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:22.359
 making

00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:23.539
 more people

00:25:23.539 --> 00:25:25.379
 the God

00:25:25.379 --> 00:25:26.180
 who rules

00:25:26.180 --> 00:25:26.960
 over all

00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:27.480
 of us

00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:28.639
 the God

00:25:28.639 --> 00:25:29.319
 who rules

00:25:29.319 --> 00:25:30.079
 over everything

00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:30.720
 that he has

00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:31.019
 made

00:25:31.019 --> 00:25:32.119
 calls us

00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:32.720
 as people

00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:33.559
 to rule

00:25:33.559 --> 00:25:34.180
 over his

00:25:34.180 --> 00:25:34.759
 creation

00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:35.579
 to take

00:25:35.579 --> 00:25:36.200
 care of

00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:36.660
 it and to

00:25:36.660 --> 00:25:37.240
 follow his

00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:38.039
 good design

00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:39.559
 the God

00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:40.460
 who delights

00:25:40.460 --> 00:25:41.200
 in everything

00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:42.039
 that is good

00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:42.940
 and right

00:25:42.940 --> 00:25:43.680
 has given

00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:44.700
 us a capacity

00:25:44.700 --> 00:25:45.619
 to know

00:25:45.619 --> 00:25:46.359
 what is good

00:25:46.359 --> 00:25:46.819
 and right

00:25:46.819 --> 00:25:47.399
 we have

00:25:47.399 --> 00:25:48.299
 an inbuilt

00:25:48.299 --> 00:25:48.919
 conscience

00:25:48.919 --> 00:25:49.839
 that knows

00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:50.839
 that this

00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:51.720
 is good

00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:52.399
 and that

00:25:52.399 --> 00:25:52.879
 this

00:25:52.879 --> 00:25:53.980
 is wrong

00:25:53.980 --> 00:25:55.659
 we have

00:25:55.659 --> 00:25:56.439
 been made

00:25:56.439 --> 00:25:57.299
 in God's

00:25:57.299 --> 00:25:57.720
 image

00:25:57.720 --> 00:25:58.439
 and to

00:25:58.439 --> 00:25:59.000
 share

00:25:59.000 --> 00:25:59.439
 and to

00:25:59.439 --> 00:26:00.139
 reflect

00:26:00.139 --> 00:26:00.720
 God's

00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:01.059
 image

00:26:01.059 --> 00:26:01.439
 to the

00:26:01.439 --> 00:26:01.819
 world

00:26:01.819 --> 00:26:03.220
 around us

00:26:03.220 --> 00:26:04.319
 we're his

00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:05.419
 image bearers

00:26:05.419 --> 00:26:06.279
 knowing him

00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:07.799
 reflecting him

00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:09.359
 enjoying him

00:26:09.359 --> 00:26:12.240
 now while

00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:12.720
 we're made

00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:13.359
 in God's

00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:14.039
 likeness

00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:17.059
 we are made

00:26:17.059 --> 00:26:17.819
 different to

00:26:17.819 --> 00:26:18.359
 each other

00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:19.519
 look at the

00:26:19.519 --> 00:26:20.059
 end of verse

00:26:20.059 --> 00:26:20.759
 27

00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:23.839
 he created

00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:24.259
 him

00:26:24.259 --> 00:26:25.799
 male and

00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:26.440
 female

00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:28.059
 he created

00:26:28.059 --> 00:26:29.440
 them

00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:31.299
 you see

00:26:31.299 --> 00:26:32.180
 before God

00:26:32.180 --> 00:26:33.019
 male and

00:26:33.019 --> 00:26:33.500
 female

00:26:33.500 --> 00:26:34.819
 are equal

00:26:34.819 --> 00:26:35.859
 in value

00:26:35.859 --> 00:26:37.039
 and worth

00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:38.539
 man is not

00:26:38.539 --> 00:26:39.420
 superior to

00:26:39.420 --> 00:26:39.740
 woman

00:26:39.740 --> 00:26:40.539
 and woman

00:26:40.539 --> 00:26:41.139
 is not

00:26:41.139 --> 00:26:42.159
 inferior to

00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:42.560
 man

00:26:42.560 --> 00:26:45.000
 but we

00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:46.100
 are different

00:26:46.100 --> 00:26:46.920
 physically

00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:47.340
 we're

00:26:47.340 --> 00:26:47.880
 different

00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:49.980
 but we've

00:26:49.980 --> 00:26:50.540
 also got

00:26:50.540 --> 00:26:51.580
 different roles

00:26:51.580 --> 00:26:52.440
 that complement

00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:53.200
 each other

00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:54.560
 so have a look

00:26:54.560 --> 00:26:55.300
 at chapter 2

00:26:55.300 --> 00:26:56.100
 verse 18

00:26:56.100 --> 00:26:59.820
 the Lord

00:26:59.820 --> 00:27:00.660
 God said

00:27:00.660 --> 00:27:02.220
 it is not

00:27:02.220 --> 00:27:02.840
 good for the

00:27:02.840 --> 00:27:03.480
 man to be

00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:03.840
 alone

00:27:03.840 --> 00:27:05.740
 I will make

00:27:05.740 --> 00:27:06.320
 a suitable

00:27:06.320 --> 00:27:07.100
 helper

00:27:07.100 --> 00:27:08.380
 for him

00:27:08.380 --> 00:27:10.340
 now the

00:27:10.340 --> 00:27:10.960
 Lord God

00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:11.620
 had formed

00:27:11.620 --> 00:27:12.140
 out of the

00:27:12.140 --> 00:27:12.460
 ground

00:27:12.460 --> 00:27:13.200
 all the

00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:13.779
 beasts of

00:27:13.779 --> 00:27:14.240
 the field

00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:14.840
 and all

00:27:14.840 --> 00:27:15.360
 the birds

00:27:15.360 --> 00:27:15.940
 of the air

00:27:15.940 --> 00:27:16.740
 and he

00:27:16.740 --> 00:27:17.319
 brought them

00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:17.960
 to the man

00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:18.720
 to see what

00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:19.120
 he would

00:27:19.120 --> 00:27:19.819
 name them

00:27:19.819 --> 00:27:20.700
 and whatever

00:27:20.700 --> 00:27:21.240
 the man

00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:21.980
 called each

00:27:21.980 --> 00:27:22.759
 living creature

00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:23.880
 that was

00:27:23.880 --> 00:27:24.519
 its name

00:27:24.519 --> 00:27:25.519
 so the man

00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:26.220
 gave names

00:27:26.220 --> 00:27:26.880
 to all the

00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:27.360
 livestock

00:27:27.360 --> 00:27:28.319
 the birds

00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:28.880
 of the air

00:27:28.880 --> 00:27:29.680
 and all the

00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:30.160
 beasts of

00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:30.660
 the field

00:27:30.660 --> 00:27:33.539
 but for

00:27:33.539 --> 00:27:34.059
 Adam

00:27:34.059 --> 00:27:36.319
 no suitable

00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:36.819
 helper

00:27:36.819 --> 00:27:38.059
 was found

00:27:38.059 --> 00:27:40.639
 so the

00:27:40.639 --> 00:27:40.899
 Lord

00:27:40.899 --> 00:27:41.519
 caused the

00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:41.919
 man to

00:27:41.919 --> 00:27:42.399
 fall into

00:27:42.399 --> 00:27:42.799
 a deep

00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:43.139
 sleep

00:27:43.139 --> 00:27:43.539
 and while

00:27:43.539 --> 00:27:43.839
 he was

00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:44.259
 sleeping

00:27:44.259 --> 00:27:45.000
 he took

00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:45.279
 one of

00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:45.779
 the man's

00:27:45.779 --> 00:27:46.019
 ribs

00:27:46.019 --> 00:27:46.659
 closed up

00:27:46.659 --> 00:27:47.119
 the place

00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:47.659
 with flesh

00:27:47.659 --> 00:27:48.399
 then the

00:27:48.399 --> 00:27:49.039
 Lord God

00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:49.579
 made a

00:27:49.579 --> 00:27:50.119
 woman from

00:27:50.119 --> 00:27:50.500
 the rib

00:27:50.500 --> 00:27:51.099
 he had

00:27:51.099 --> 00:27:51.740
 taken out

00:27:51.740 --> 00:27:51.980
 of the

00:27:51.980 --> 00:27:52.200
 man

00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:52.519
 and he

00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:52.899
 brought

00:27:52.899 --> 00:27:53.519
 her to

00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:54.039
 the man

00:27:54.039 --> 00:27:54.899
 the man

00:27:54.899 --> 00:27:55.379
 said

00:27:55.379 --> 00:27:56.519
 in his

00:27:56.519 --> 00:27:57.319
 best love

00:27:57.319 --> 00:27:57.839
 poetry

00:27:57.839 --> 00:27:58.439
 possible

00:27:58.439 --> 00:27:59.960
 this is

00:27:59.960 --> 00:28:00.799
 now bone

00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:01.279
 of my

00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:01.799
 bones

00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:02.720
 flesh of

00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:03.319
 my flesh

00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:04.200
 she shall

00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:04.839
 be called

00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:05.599
 woman

00:28:05.599 --> 00:28:06.759
 for she

00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:07.319
 was taken

00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:07.779
 out of

00:28:07.779 --> 00:28:08.159
 man

00:28:08.159 --> 00:28:10.539
 and for

00:28:10.539 --> 00:28:11.159
 this reason

00:28:11.159 --> 00:28:11.599
 a man

00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:12.039
 will leave

00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:12.599
 his father

00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:13.039
 and mother

00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:13.399
 and be

00:28:13.399 --> 00:28:14.119
 united to

00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:14.579
 his wife

00:28:14.579 --> 00:28:15.139
 and they

00:28:15.139 --> 00:28:15.740
 will become

00:28:15.740 --> 00:28:17.099
 one flesh

00:28:17.099 --> 00:28:18.819
 you see

00:28:18.819 --> 00:28:19.599
 in God's

00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:20.419
 perfect

00:28:20.419 --> 00:28:20.919
 and good

00:28:20.919 --> 00:28:21.480
 design

00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:22.339
 he makes

00:28:22.339 --> 00:28:23.079
 male and

00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:23.559
 female

00:28:23.559 --> 00:28:24.719
 and together

00:28:24.719 --> 00:28:25.259
 they come

00:28:25.259 --> 00:28:25.959
 together and

00:28:25.959 --> 00:28:26.539
 form a

00:28:26.539 --> 00:28:27.519
 sexual union

00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:28.299
 they are

00:28:28.299 --> 00:28:29.439
 one flesh

00:28:29.439 --> 00:28:30.139
 it's what

00:28:30.139 --> 00:28:30.839
 we call

00:28:30.839 --> 00:28:31.839
 marriage

00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:34.319
 they become

00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:34.819
 one

00:28:34.819 --> 00:28:35.919
 but yet

00:28:35.919 --> 00:28:36.439
 in their

00:28:36.439 --> 00:28:37.179
 oneness

00:28:37.179 --> 00:28:38.079
 they have

00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:38.619
 different

00:28:38.619 --> 00:28:39.339
 roles

00:28:39.339 --> 00:28:40.299
 the woman

00:28:40.299 --> 00:28:40.879
 we're told

00:28:40.879 --> 00:28:41.259
 throughout

00:28:41.259 --> 00:28:41.779
 what we've

00:28:41.779 --> 00:28:42.259
 just read

00:28:42.259 --> 00:28:42.639
 is to

00:28:42.639 --> 00:28:43.179
 draw

00:28:43.179 --> 00:28:44.039
 alongside

00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:45.279
 and help

00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:45.740
 the man

00:28:45.740 --> 00:28:46.359
 they are

00:28:46.359 --> 00:28:47.279
 to complement

00:28:47.279 --> 00:28:48.139
 each other

00:28:48.139 --> 00:28:48.960
 and as we

00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:49.379
 go through

00:28:49.379 --> 00:28:50.059
 the story

00:28:50.059 --> 00:28:50.859
 we'll begin

00:28:50.859 --> 00:28:51.319
 to see

00:28:51.319 --> 00:28:51.859
 God's

00:28:51.859 --> 00:28:52.839
 good design

00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:54.279
 for man

00:28:54.279 --> 00:28:55.159
 and woman

00:28:55.159 --> 00:28:56.139
 together

00:28:56.139 --> 00:29:01.639
 and because

00:29:01.639 --> 00:29:02.139
 we are

00:29:02.139 --> 00:29:02.960
 created by

00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:03.519
 God as

00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:04.179
 male and

00:29:04.179 --> 00:29:04.659
 female

00:29:04.660 --> 00:29:07.080
 we must

00:29:07.080 --> 00:29:07.759
 obey

00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:08.259
 God

00:29:08.259 --> 00:29:10.460
 as God

00:29:10.460 --> 00:29:11.200
 orders

00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:12.660
 and designs

00:29:12.660 --> 00:29:13.320
 the world

00:29:13.320 --> 00:29:14.759
 he gives

00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:15.560
 the orders

00:29:15.560 --> 00:29:16.080
 and we

00:29:16.080 --> 00:29:17.120
 must obey

00:29:17.120 --> 00:29:18.700
 so back in

00:29:18.700 --> 00:29:19.259
 chapter 1

00:29:19.259 --> 00:29:20.259
 verse 28

00:29:20.259 --> 00:29:23.320
 God blessed

00:29:23.320 --> 00:29:23.800
 them

00:29:23.800 --> 00:29:24.779
 and said

00:29:24.779 --> 00:29:25.340
 to them

00:29:25.340 --> 00:29:26.080
 to man

00:29:26.080 --> 00:29:26.620
 and woman

00:29:26.620 --> 00:29:28.320
 be fruitful

00:29:28.320 --> 00:29:29.180
 there's a command

00:29:29.180 --> 00:29:30.040
 be fruitful

00:29:30.040 --> 00:29:30.840
 and increase

00:29:30.840 --> 00:29:31.360
 in number

00:29:31.360 --> 00:29:32.540
 fill the earth

00:29:32.539 --> 00:29:33.379
 and subdue it

00:29:33.379 --> 00:29:34.399
 rule over

00:29:34.399 --> 00:29:34.819
 the fish

00:29:34.819 --> 00:29:35.279
 of the sea

00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:35.799
 and the birds

00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:36.259
 of the air

00:29:36.259 --> 00:29:36.960
 and over

00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:37.740
 living creature

00:29:37.740 --> 00:29:38.420
 that moves

00:29:38.420 --> 00:29:39.500
 on the ground

00:29:39.500 --> 00:29:41.000
 you see

00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:41.759
 this is not

00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:42.619
 our world

00:29:42.619 --> 00:29:43.460
 we're not

00:29:43.460 --> 00:29:44.059
 in charge

00:29:44.059 --> 00:29:44.480
 of it

00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:45.559
 it's not up

00:29:45.559 --> 00:29:45.920
 to us

00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:46.599
 to decide

00:29:46.599 --> 00:29:47.440
 what we

00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:48.059
 should do

00:29:48.059 --> 00:29:48.920
 we are to

00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:49.700
 follow the

00:29:49.700 --> 00:29:50.420
 laws

00:29:50.420 --> 00:29:51.240
 of God

00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:52.619
 it's not

00:29:52.619 --> 00:29:53.019
 for us

00:29:53.019 --> 00:29:53.720
 to distort

00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:54.399
 and reject

00:29:54.399 --> 00:29:55.159
 God's good

00:29:55.159 --> 00:29:55.700
 and beautiful

00:29:55.700 --> 00:29:56.879
 design for life

00:29:56.879 --> 00:29:58.099
 we're to

00:29:58.099 --> 00:29:58.940
 obey him

00:29:58.940 --> 00:30:00.880
 because God

00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:01.220
 is our

00:30:01.220 --> 00:30:02.140
 loving ruler

00:30:02.140 --> 00:30:03.860
 and we

00:30:03.860 --> 00:30:04.500
 obey what

00:30:04.500 --> 00:30:05.080
 he says

00:30:05.080 --> 00:30:05.680
 because what

00:30:05.680 --> 00:30:06.259
 he says

00:30:06.259 --> 00:30:06.759
 is always

00:30:06.759 --> 00:30:07.259
 right

00:30:07.259 --> 00:30:07.960
 and always

00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:08.660
 good for us

00:30:08.660 --> 00:30:09.460
 we might not

00:30:09.460 --> 00:30:10.240
 always appreciate

00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:11.420
 it but he

00:30:11.420 --> 00:30:12.160
 always says

00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:12.799
 what is right

00:30:12.799 --> 00:30:13.180
 and we

00:30:13.180 --> 00:30:13.600
 obey

00:30:13.600 --> 00:30:17.580
 and of course

00:30:17.580 --> 00:30:18.140
 at the beginning

00:30:18.140 --> 00:30:18.840
 of the story

00:30:18.840 --> 00:30:19.840
 it's hard for us

00:30:19.840 --> 00:30:20.580
 to think of

00:30:20.580 --> 00:30:21.960
 disobeying

00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:22.700
 or rejecting

00:30:22.700 --> 00:30:23.140
 God

00:30:23.140 --> 00:30:24.180
 because as we

00:30:24.180 --> 00:30:24.680
 look at the

00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:25.279
 beginning of this

00:30:25.279 --> 00:30:25.600
 story

00:30:25.600 --> 00:30:26.660
 everything is so

00:30:26.660 --> 00:30:27.620
 good and

00:30:27.620 --> 00:30:28.580
 perfect and

00:30:28.579 --> 00:30:29.500
 beautiful and

00:30:29.500 --> 00:30:30.079
 all in

00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:30.539
 harmony

00:30:30.539 --> 00:30:33.099
 in fact

00:30:33.099 --> 00:30:33.579
 mankind

00:30:33.579 --> 00:30:36.460
 was created

00:30:36.460 --> 00:30:37.699
 innocent

00:30:37.699 --> 00:30:40.079
 look at

00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:40.839
 chapter 2

00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:42.439
 verse 8

00:30:42.439 --> 00:30:46.419
 now the

00:30:46.419 --> 00:30:47.099
 Lord God

00:30:47.099 --> 00:30:48.819
 had planted

00:30:48.819 --> 00:30:49.359
 a garden

00:30:49.359 --> 00:30:50.799
 in the

00:30:50.799 --> 00:30:51.339
 east

00:30:51.339 --> 00:30:53.079
 in Eden

00:30:53.079 --> 00:30:54.799
 and there

00:30:54.799 --> 00:30:55.220
 he put

00:30:55.220 --> 00:30:55.839
 the man

00:30:55.839 --> 00:30:57.359
 he had

00:30:57.359 --> 00:30:57.879
 formed

00:30:57.880 --> 00:30:59.760
 Eden

00:30:59.760 --> 00:31:00.960
 is a

00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:01.480
 beautiful

00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:02.700
 pleasing

00:31:02.700 --> 00:31:04.100
 and plentiful

00:31:04.100 --> 00:31:04.640
 garden

00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:05.580
 and it

00:31:05.580 --> 00:31:06.160
 means

00:31:06.160 --> 00:31:07.520
 delight

00:31:07.520 --> 00:31:09.180
 nothing

00:31:09.180 --> 00:31:10.100
 going wrong

00:31:10.100 --> 00:31:11.060
 there's no

00:31:11.060 --> 00:31:11.920
 sadness or

00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:12.240
 hurt

00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:13.200
 no pain

00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:14.220
 or struggles

00:31:14.220 --> 00:31:15.600
 and it's in

00:31:15.600 --> 00:31:16.340
 this garden

00:31:16.340 --> 00:31:17.100
 that man

00:31:17.100 --> 00:31:17.680
 and woman

00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:18.600
 joined together

00:31:18.600 --> 00:31:19.040
 in their

00:31:19.040 --> 00:31:19.920
 first marriage

00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:20.780
 so look at

00:31:20.780 --> 00:31:21.380
 chapter 2

00:31:21.380 --> 00:31:22.240
 verse 25

00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:23.840
 here's the

00:31:23.840 --> 00:31:24.380
 picture we

00:31:24.380 --> 00:31:24.800
 have in

00:31:24.800 --> 00:31:25.100
 Eden

00:31:25.099 --> 00:31:26.339
 the man

00:31:26.339 --> 00:31:26.679
 and his

00:31:26.679 --> 00:31:27.099
 wife

00:31:27.099 --> 00:31:28.039
 were both

00:31:28.039 --> 00:31:28.699
 naked

00:31:28.699 --> 00:31:30.219
 and they

00:31:30.219 --> 00:31:30.679
 felt

00:31:30.679 --> 00:31:31.759
 no shame

00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:34.599
 not only

00:31:34.599 --> 00:31:35.299
 is this a

00:31:35.299 --> 00:31:35.959
 picture of

00:31:35.959 --> 00:31:36.779
 something that's

00:31:36.779 --> 00:31:37.439
 delightful

00:31:37.439 --> 00:31:39.359
 here is a

00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:40.659
 picture of

00:31:40.659 --> 00:31:41.240
 pure

00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:42.399
 innocence

00:31:42.399 --> 00:31:44.159
 the

00:31:44.159 --> 00:31:44.779
 physical

00:31:44.779 --> 00:31:45.740
 nakedness of

00:31:45.740 --> 00:31:46.259
 the man

00:31:46.259 --> 00:31:46.639
 and the

00:31:46.639 --> 00:31:46.980
 wife

00:31:46.980 --> 00:31:48.539
 reflects a

00:31:48.539 --> 00:31:49.199
 deeper

00:31:49.199 --> 00:31:50.119
 inner

00:31:50.119 --> 00:31:51.379
 nakedness

00:31:51.380 --> 00:31:53.040
 here are

00:31:53.040 --> 00:31:53.880
 two people

00:31:53.880 --> 00:31:54.700
 where there

00:31:54.700 --> 00:31:55.020
 is a

00:31:55.020 --> 00:31:55.520
 complete

00:31:55.520 --> 00:31:56.440
 openness

00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:58.520
 a vulnerability

00:31:58.520 --> 00:31:59.640
 towards each

00:31:59.640 --> 00:31:59.880
 other

00:31:59.880 --> 00:32:00.800
 nothing to

00:32:00.800 --> 00:32:01.280
 hide

00:32:01.280 --> 00:32:02.360
 nothing to

00:32:02.360 --> 00:32:02.780
 fear

00:32:02.780 --> 00:32:04.420
 completely

00:32:04.420 --> 00:32:05.420
 transparent

00:32:05.420 --> 00:32:06.300
 there is

00:32:06.300 --> 00:32:06.880
 no

00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:08.040
 shame

00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:12.899
 but we

00:32:12.899 --> 00:32:13.299
 know it's

00:32:13.299 --> 00:32:13.680
 not like

00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:14.220
 that today

00:32:14.220 --> 00:32:14.700
 is it

00:32:14.700 --> 00:32:17.399
 today we

00:32:17.399 --> 00:32:17.720
 are a

00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:18.079
 people

00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:19.659
 who are

00:32:19.659 --> 00:32:20.299
 filled

00:32:20.299 --> 00:32:22.039
 with shame

00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:23.700
 and burdened

00:32:23.700 --> 00:32:24.399
 by guilt

00:32:24.399 --> 00:32:26.099
 we don't

00:32:26.099 --> 00:32:26.920
 like to

00:32:26.920 --> 00:32:27.779
 be open

00:32:27.779 --> 00:32:29.680
 we don't

00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:30.659
 want people

00:32:30.659 --> 00:32:31.359
 to know

00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:32.019
 what's going

00:32:32.019 --> 00:32:32.740
 on inside

00:32:32.740 --> 00:32:33.159
 here

00:32:33.159 --> 00:32:34.980
 we hide

00:32:34.980 --> 00:32:35.879
 our deep

00:32:35.879 --> 00:32:36.899
 inner thoughts

00:32:36.900 --> 00:32:38.160
 we cover

00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:38.920
 up our

00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:39.680
 nakedness

00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:40.800
 we hide

00:32:40.800 --> 00:32:41.420
 our true

00:32:41.420 --> 00:32:42.140
 self from

00:32:42.140 --> 00:32:42.759
 one another

00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:43.480
 and even

00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:44.360
 from ourselves

00:32:44.360 --> 00:32:45.180
 there's not

00:32:45.180 --> 00:32:45.860
 one of us

00:32:45.860 --> 00:32:46.300
 in this

00:32:46.300 --> 00:32:47.000
 room here

00:32:47.000 --> 00:32:47.680
 that would

00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:48.680
 want anybody

00:32:48.680 --> 00:32:49.380
 to see

00:32:49.380 --> 00:32:50.060
 or to

00:32:50.060 --> 00:32:50.580
 know

00:32:50.580 --> 00:32:51.259
 what we

00:32:51.259 --> 00:32:52.040
 are really

00:32:52.040 --> 00:32:52.980
 like

00:32:52.980 --> 00:32:56.019
 I would

00:32:56.019 --> 00:32:56.640
 dread

00:32:56.640 --> 00:32:57.400
 if you

00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:57.900
 would know

00:32:57.900 --> 00:32:58.519
 the thoughts

00:32:58.519 --> 00:32:59.180
 that go on

00:32:59.180 --> 00:32:59.660
 in here

00:32:59.660 --> 00:33:00.259
 or the

00:33:00.259 --> 00:33:00.740
 feelings

00:33:00.740 --> 00:33:01.160
 that are

00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:01.740
 in here

00:33:01.740 --> 00:33:02.620
 why

00:33:02.620 --> 00:33:04.780
 because there

00:33:04.780 --> 00:33:05.340
 is too

00:33:05.340 --> 00:33:05.800
 much

00:33:05.800 --> 00:33:06.620
 to be

00:33:06.619 --> 00:33:07.619
 ashamed

00:33:07.619 --> 00:33:08.099
 of

00:33:08.099 --> 00:33:11.759
 but here

00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:12.079
 in the

00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:12.479
 beginning

00:33:12.479 --> 00:33:14.679
 is a

00:33:14.679 --> 00:33:15.159
 man and

00:33:15.159 --> 00:33:15.459
 woman

00:33:15.459 --> 00:33:17.299
 not just

00:33:17.299 --> 00:33:18.219
 naked before

00:33:18.219 --> 00:33:18.859
 each other

00:33:18.859 --> 00:33:20.479
 but in a

00:33:20.479 --> 00:33:21.299
 sense naked

00:33:21.299 --> 00:33:22.379
 before God

00:33:22.379 --> 00:33:24.000
 where everything

00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:24.639
 is known

00:33:24.639 --> 00:33:26.599
 there is no

00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:27.099
 hiding

00:33:27.099 --> 00:33:29.099
 there is no

00:33:29.099 --> 00:33:29.719
 shame

00:33:29.719 --> 00:33:31.419
 there is no

00:33:31.419 --> 00:33:32.079
 guilt

00:33:32.079 --> 00:33:33.599
