Expository Sermon Outline - Genesis

Title: THE ACTIVE GOD

Text: Genesis 1-2:3

He is Creator (1:1)

1. He is eternal
2. He is the strong one (Elohim)
3. He is plurality in Unity (cf. Gen. 1:26)

His Creative Act

1. Elements of the creative act: Time (beginning); Space (the Heavens) Matter (the earth); Motion (moved).
2. Purpose of Creation – Colossians 1:16-17 / Rev. 4:11
3. The Plan of Creation—Form and Filling

      3 days forming creation / 3 days filling creation

The same process in the New Creation of the believer (cf. 2 Cor. 5:17; Phil 2:13)

His Complete Creation (2:1-3)

1. He rested because His work was completed. God does not leave anything half finished.
2. His work was blessed
3. His work was special (sanctified).

God is still actively creating. He is creating a new creation in believers (2 Cor. 5:17). Believers are His workmanship created in Christ (Eph. 2:10); created in righteousness and truth (Eph. 4:24). Therefore we are to put on the new man (Col. 3:10).
