Face of the deep • The murky, restless, choppy waters • Without shape or form • Offered nothing in the way of hope. Or so it appeared • Earth at this stage, we would have seen no potential. It was all waste
The old Earth • Soil • Grow peanuts and oranges • Vegetation to stop erosion • Buried in a prevailing darkness and beneath oceans of waters • There was iron to manufacture cars and build railroads • Diamonds and rubies • The potential was incredible
Everything you need to support. . • Build a city with skyscrapers • It was all lying in the body of this globe • And oil • Then it happened • The spirit of the lord moved. • No matter how black • This great god of activity was at work! • Genesis 1: 3
Word and Spirit were engaged • God was moving and god was speaking • Land was appearing • Heaven was visible • Eternity and creation • The word of god is alive and potent
The preaching of the Word • 1 john 5: 19 • Look at the people who enter our churches • They have intelligence. • Their skills and talents are unlimited • Conversion can happen
The preaching of the Word • 1 Corinthians 6: 11 • This generation cannot save itself • This world today is rich with resources • No other planet can come close to this old earth • No other place in this universe can sustain life
