David Bonnema Today’s Question: Did God make the world in 7 days or was it the ? How do we reconcile these two different theories? Science and faith are , not competitors. Christians believe God created the world out of (ex nihilo). Science seeks to explain how we got here. seeks to explain why we are here. “Ordinary 24-hours days are not at all like the days of Genesis 1, but very, very .” —St. Augustine What is the Hebrew word for man? אָדָם = Adam represents all of us. His story is our story too. The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to it and take care of it. —Genesis 2:15 We were made to work and take care of the earth and to be in relationship with God and one another. Song - “So Will I” God of creation There at the start, before the beginning of time With no point of reference You spoke to the dark and fleshed out the wonder of light And as You speak A hundred billion galaxies are born In the vapour of Your breath the planets form If the stars were made to worship, so will I I can see Your heart in everything You've made Every burning star, a signal fire of grace If creation sings Your praises, so will I God of Your promise You don't speak in vain, no syllable empty or void For once You have spoken All nature and science, follow the sound of Your voice And as You speak A hundred billion creatures catch Your breath Evolving in pursuit of what You said If it all reveals Your nature, so will I I can see Your heart in everything You say Every painted sky, a canvas of Your grace If creation still obeys You, so will I So will I, so will I If the stars were made to worship, so will I If the mountains bow in reverence, so will I If the oceans roar Your greatness, so will I For if everything exists to lift You high, so will I And if the wind goes where You send it, so will I If the rocks cry out in silence, so will I If the sum of all our praises still falls shy Then we'll sing again a hundred billion times! God of salvation You chased down my heart through all of my failure and pride On a hill You created The light of the world abandoned in darkness to die And as You speak A hundred billion failures disappear Where You lost Your life so I could find it here If You left the grave behind You, so will I I can see Your heart in everything You've done Every part designed in a work of art called love If You gladly chose surrender, so will I I can see Your heart, eight billion different ways Every precious one, a child You died to save If You gave Your life to love them, so will I Like You would again a hundred billion times But what measure could amount to Your desire? You're the One who never leaves the one behind Offering Prayer of Thanksgiving and the Lord’s Prayer Closing Song - “This Is My Father’s World” Benediction Postlude 11:00am Prelude - Diann Clark Welcome Rev. David Bonnema Call to Worship Leader: In the beginning, before the world began, People: God was. Leader; Here and now, among us, beside us, People: God is. Leader: In the future, when all we know has turned to dust, People: God will be. Leader: Not denying the world but delighting in it, People: God was, God is, God will be. Hymn - “All Creatures of our God and King” - #455 v 1, 4, 6 Prayer of Confession Creator God, we think we know a lot. We think we know how you created the vast spaces of our universe. We like to pick apart every cell, argue over every theory, and carbon date creation down to the last minute. In our efforts to understand how it all works, we forget the One who made it all work; You breathe life into all living things, You create galaxies that we cannot even hope to see, and You continue this creation day after day. Help us remember to worship You, the Great Creator, through the love of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.

Anthem - Unity Choir Prayer of Thanksgiving and the Lord’s Prayer Doxology Affirmation of Faith - The Apostles’ Creed I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
