Creation

If we understand our beginning, we can be certain of our present and future.

Three observations & applications

1. The “how” isn’t essential to the story. The "who" & "why" is.

2. You and the person you don’t like are created in the image of God.

3. Care for the creation, but only worship the Creator.
