1. Jesus: our Creator Seeing Jesus throughout the Bible

2. Genesis 1:1 God created In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Elohim = gods? Created = singular?

3. Colossians 1:16-17 …for through him [Jesus] God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see— such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.

4. John 1:1-4 In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He existed in the beginning with God. 3 God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. 4 The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone.

5. More scriptures Colossians 1:16-17 John 1:1-4 Hebrews 1:2 1 Corinthians 8:5-6

6. Old universe vs the Bible Gap- between verse 1-2 or 2-3 Illusion (antique)– how old was Adam? Moses’ School day– revelation over 7 days Earth Day – Science is still learning. Geological Periods – “day” as in “the days of rock n roll” God’s Day – To God, that was 6 God day’s work. 1 day to God is 1000 years.

7. Evolution vs the Bible It’s still a theory Aliens brought life? We’re intricately made. Evolution Christians: God guided each step in the evolution process. It’s the building block God used to create complex lives.

8. Most important point It does NOT matter It does NOT matter Which theory you choose to believe ‘how’ Jesus created the universe and life. What matters is that you believe that Jesus Christ is our Creator, Lord, and Savior.

9. What does matter? Purpose Ownership of you Ownership of the world

10. He’s not done creating John 14:1-4 Revelation 21
