In "In the Beginning God," Pastor Henry delves into the profound significance of the opening words of the Bible and the indispensable role that belief in God plays in human life. Reflecting upon his own past medical hardships, Henry uses these experiences to underline the soothing power of faith. Pastor Wright expresses an unabated interest in the book of Genesis, relating its narrative about the dawn of life to our present existence and the chaos it often entails. Pastor Wright contemplates the intriguing start of the Bible with the words, "In the beginning God," as if God had strategically initiated the Holy Book this way. He acknowledges that despite the apparent challenges and questions raised by biblical narratives, each verse is inspired by God, carrying His divine message. Linking the Bible's commencement with the book of Revelation, Pastor Wright brings to light a celestial conflict between God and the egotistical angel, Lucifer. He draws a parallel between Lucifer's hubris, and that of modern humans, who often overestimate their worth. Pastor Wright discusses the repercussions of Lucifer's rebellion, including his inevitable ejection from God's presence. Moreover, the pastor presents a rebuttal to the widely accepted theory of evolution, which he associates with satanic attempts to wipe out the concept of God. Asserting the intentional creation of humans, Pastor Wright negates the notion of evolutionary accidents and emphasizes the divine purpose behind our existence. Focusing on Adam and Eve, the inaugural human pair according to Christian belief, Pastor Wright portrays them as perfect creations mirroring God's own image. He stresses that this divine resemblance strengthens the bond between human beings and God. Pastor Wright underscores the significance of faith in God, illustrating how it bestows upon worshippers a sense of identity, purpose, and destiny. He insists on the availability of divine guidance for humans, referring to God's word as an "owner's manual" that clarifies their path. The sermon culminates as the pastor amplifies the remarkable aspects of God's character. He shares an intimate episode about his wife's battle with dementia, during which he experienced the softer side of God. Through Jesus Christ, God's boundless love is made manifest. This, Pastor Wright believes, is the bridge that connects humanity with its creator. To encapsulate, this sermon, "In the Beginning, God," unwraps the profound implications of faith in God, the significance of our intentional creation, and the destinies we carry. It revisits the age-old story of Satan's fall, emphasizing our divine bond with God through Jesus, our heritage, accountability, and God’s unfathomable love and grace.
