Genesis Epilogue, understanding the heart of God.

We often wonder why a loving God created a world with so much pain, evil, and suffering. This sermon answers that question. This sermon will prove this world is the best world that could be created. Reflecting on the entire book of Genesis reveals the depths of God’s design, character and even His desires. God’s glory is revealed in many ways, in the beauty of a sunset, in the diversity of animal life, and in the majesty of the universe. However, in the grandeur of everything God made, He specifically made man to bear His image and to know His mind, heart and will. Don’t miss Pastor David’s powerful sermon, the Genesis Epilogue, Understanding the heart of God!

“What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, so that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?”

Man has little interest in KNOWING GOD

“God desires to fill the universe with a lot of little replicas of Himself-like creatures, whose life, on a miniature scale, will be qualitatively like His own, not because He has absorbed them – but because their will freely conforms to His.”
