The book of Genesis was written by Moses. Genesis is the book of beginnings: the beginning of creation, the beginning of man the beginning of sin, and the beginning of God's plan for the redemption of sinning man.

Genesis 1:1
IN THE BEGINNING GOD I. THE BIBLE IS GOD'S REVELATION OF HIMSELF TO MAN. A. It never seeks to prove His existence. 1. It is always assumed. If I should write an autobiography I would not attempt to first prove I existed. B. The first verse introduces the subject matter of the book In the Beginning God. 1. Who is God? 2. What is He like? 3. What has He to do with me? C. S...

Genesis 1:1
IN THE BEGINNING GOD I. THE BIBLE NEVER SEEKS TO PROVE THE EXISTENCE OF GOD. A. It always assumes the existence of God. 1.

THE IMAGE OF GOD I. WHAT IS MEANT BY THE IMAGE OF GOD? A. I do not believe that it means a physical image. 1. Though the Bible refers to the eyes of the Lord, and His ears. It talks of the hand of the Lord, also the arm of the Lord. These are all used in a figurative sense, for in the Psalms it refers to Him covering us with His wings. 2. Jesus was a manifestation of the Godhead...

Sermon on Genesis 1:27-31
DOMINION OVER THE EARTH I. AND GOD BLESSED THEM. A. After God created man, the first thing that we read is that God blessed them. 1. You need to know that God wants to bless you and He delights in blessing His children. a. I know how I love to bless my children and my grandchildren and now my great grandchild, with the second on the way. b. One of the greatest delights of m...
