Where did everything come from—and what does the answer reveal about why we are here? In the opening message of Origins, we return to the Bible’s first words: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

 

By exploring the ancient Hebrew context of Genesis, the names Elohim and Yahweh, and the evidence of order and design throughout creation, this message shows why everything changes when we begin with God. Genesis was not written as an exhaustive science textbook; it is the theological account of the God who created everything and desires a personal relationship with humanity.

 

The creation story isn’t only about how the universe began—it reveals a God who prepared a place for us to live with Him. You are not an accident or lost in an uncaring universe. You were created intentionally, given purpose, and personally loved by the God who knows you.
