Built to Last

Sermon Notes

[Genesis 1:1-3] In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. [2] The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters. [3] Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

Without God, there is CHAOS.

Real SCIENCE is the honest pursuit of TRUTH.

Anything that can't stand up to SCRUTINY isn't worth basing your FAITH on.

[Isaiah 40:8] The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever."

Trends change, kingdoms fall, but God’s Word remains UNSHAKEN.

[Luke 24:44] Then he said, "When I was with you before, I told you that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms must be fulfilled."

[Matthew 5:18] I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not even the smallest detail of God's law will disappear until its purpose is achieved.

The BIBLE is more scientifically ACCURATE than any ancient text.

[Isaiah 40:22] God sits above the circle of the earth. The people below seem like grasshoppers to him! He spreads out the heavens like a curtain and makes his tent from them.

[Job 26:7] God stretches the northern sky over empty space and hangs the earth on nothing. 

Science is always CHANGING, but God's Word stays the SAME.

[Matthew 16:18 ESV] And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

The Church is the people of God on MISSION.
