Genesis 1

Sep 16th,2024

Discussion Questions:

1. Genesis 1:1 says, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." How does knowing that God is the Creator of all things shape your view of the world and your purpose in life?

2. How does this image of God bringing order out of chaos encourage you in areas of your life that feel chaotic or uncertain? Where do you need to trust God more to bring clarity and order?

3. In verse 2, the earth is described as "formless and empty," with darkness covering the deep waters. The Spirit of God is mentioned as "hovering over the waters" before creation takes shape.

   How does this verse remind you of God's active presence, even when things seem formless or incomplete?

   How does this imagery of God’s Spirit hovering over chaos encourage you when you face chaotic or dark moments in your life? Where do you see God's presence, even in difficult situations?

   Can you share a time when you felt God's presence in a difficult or uncertain situation?

4. Since God is the Creator of everything, how should this affect the way we approach worship? How can recognizing God’s creative power deepen your awe and reverence for Him in both personal and corporate worship settings?
