God made humans
I have 2 brothers who don’t know who they are. Of course they know their names – and they could tell you all about their jobs. My bachelor brother hates his job and can’t wait till he retires. My married brother loves his work; but neither of them want to be identified by their jobs – nor by their family relationship. They both could tell you their family history – but this doesn’t define them. One brother told me that because our parents were Jewish and were brought up being told we were C of E, he doesn’t know who he is. Gen 1-3 are basic for our understanding of life. They are as relevant today as when first written. They speak of God the Creator, of people made like him and of their dis-graceful fall from perfection. Without them we would have no idea of WHY the world was made, and WHY we are as we are today. Yet Genesis 1-3 have given rise to fierce disagreements amongst Christian and non-Christian people. They have been explored as if they were modern science or a psychological text book. What we have in Genesis is a piece of brilliant ancient literature; describing the world coming into being, God making people to live on earth and the consequences of those people deciding to live in contradiction of their Creator. These 3 chapters are some of the most helpful in this world, and demand our close scrutiny. You’ll never find truth like this anywhere else; you may find a few myths about creation, but nothing so profound, so true, that rings with reality as we know it. This is the basis for both Jewish and Christian beliefs – and read correctly set us on a course to know the Creator God for ourselves.

Being Human: What God Created Us to Be and Do
What does it mean to be human? It means different things to different people. But God has not left us guessing. In his revelation to us, he tells us what it means to be human by describing what we were created to be and to do.

Reconciliation through Christ Alone
In order for us to understand the significance of Easter, we must first understand what happened at the beginning of creation. We cannot understand the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ without first exploring how it all began--in the garden of Eden. When this is accomplished, however, every story in the Bible falls into place and the story of the Bible points to one person--the person of Jesus Christ.

Created in His Image (PM)
David preaches a theological message on the image of God from Gen. 1:26-27. God's choice to create mankind in His own image determines the value and responsibility placed on the human race.
