Genesis Napod

The Four Most Important Questions

For those of you who don't know who I am, my name is Genesis Knapwood.

Genesis is like the first book in the Bible.

Now, a lot of people, when I visit churches, they ask me this question, so I'm going to save you the trouble.

Do you have a brother or sister named X or Leviticus?

And I tell them, no, they have normal names.

But I remember back in seventh grade, you know in seventh grade you're trying to be cool, you're trying to fit in?

I was trying to fit in, trying to dress like everybody else, trying to be like everybody else.

In seventh grade math class, our counselor comes in and says, you have a new student.

And we all turn to look, who is this new student?

And it's this girl, she's tall and skinny, we all look, and she says, make her feel welcome, her name is guess.

And all of a sudden everybody looks at me and they start smiling because they're going to tease me for the rest of the school year, and for eighth grade, and throughout high school, and even in college, it's still less.

But in case you're wondering, I'm the first of 3, hence the beginning of the family.

And as you can see, today's presentation, good it's not upside down, the 3 most important questions that you will ever ask.

The 3 most important questions that you will ever ask.

Father in heaven as we come to you this morning I pray that your spirit would be with us.

I pray that you would speak through me and hide me behind the cross, that Christ would be glorified.

I know that nobody is here by accident, nobody's listening by accident, but they are here, Lord, to hear your word.

Please speak to us individually, in Jesus' name, amen.

I hope you guys brought your Bibles today.

We're gonna do a little bit of a Bible study, but today's presentation is the 3 most important questions that you will ever ask.

Now that sounds slightly intimidating, doesn't it?

The 3 most important questions that I will ever ask.

You might be thinking, well, I can think of more important questions and maybe you will, but these are 3 questions that have come to my mind and I think that depending on how you answer these 3 questions will help you determine the other questions that you will face in life.

Now, in life, there are many questions, right?

We have many, many questions, especially for those of you who are students.

You have many questions that could change your life, right?

During finals, depending on how I answer these questions will determine if I will pass or if I will fail, if I will graduate or if I have to take summer school, right?

And you might be asking, well, what's next in life?

Where do I see myself in the next 5 or 10 years?

Many important questions that deserve very good answers.

Now, everybody's answer might be different.

But nevertheless, we have to think about this.

But today, I want to ask you 3 questions that are very important.

And the first 1 I want to ask you is, where did we come from?

Now some of you are probably thinking, I just came from my dorm.

Okay, but on a bigger perspective, where did we as humans come from?

Now this is very controversial, but not too long ago, there was a debate between, do you guys know who these 2 are?

When I was growing up, I used to love watching Bill Nye as a kid because he made science fun and interesting.

But not too long ago, there was this debate and they were debating over where we came from.

Did we come from God, intelligent design, or did we come from evolution, the Big Bang?

Now Bill Nye argues that we came through the Big Bang, that a long, long time ago, perhaps billions of years ago there was something called the Big Bang and through this Big Bang things just came to be.

The nitrogen, the hydrogen, the oxygen, and all elements came together and somehow, someway, randomly formed the Earth, the Sun, the Moon, and the stars and everything that we see today.

And through the process of survival of the fittest in evolution, humans came to be.

He argues that this world is very old, perhaps millions or even billions of years old.

On the other hand, we have Ken Ham, who is a creationist, he's a Christian, and he says that he believes the Bible.

And he believes something that we believe as well.

If you have your Bibles, go with me to the book of Genesis.

I really like the book of Genesis, not just because my name is Genesis, but it's a very good book.

Let us go to the book of Genesis, chapter 1.

Our question, our first question is, where did we come from?

Genesis, chapter 1, we read a familiar verse, chapter 1, the Bible says, In the beginning, who?

So who was at the very beginning of time?

God created heaven and earth and how did he do it?

The Bible says in John chapter 1, it says, in the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God.

The Bible says all things were made through the word Jesus Christ.

And so God created this world by the power of his word and how long did he do it?

He created the world in 6 days, and on the seventh day, he rested.
