Essentials – #1
God
We started a new sermon series this week where we will be examining some of the essential or foundational beliefs that we hold as Christians. We started this week with God. Here are some key things we covered:
What we believe matters- our beliefs are what determine our actions
Where we start matters-if we don’t get our foundation right, everything will be wrong
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God. . .
Deuteronomy 6:4-5
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Westminster Shorter Catechism
What is the chief end of man? To glorify God and enjoy Him forever
Colossians 1:16
For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.
Romans 11
33 Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?”
35 “Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay them?”
36 For from him and through him and for him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen.
It’s not about me, It’s about God
