June 19, 2023

Thank you for making Milestone a part of your weekend. We are glad you’re here! Below are the notes for teaching on June 18th 2023.


Genesis 1:26-31; 2:15-17
(26) Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” (27) So God created man in his own image,in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (28) And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” (29) And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. (30) And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. (31) And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

(15) The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. (16) And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, (17) but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

Conclusion

Let us approached the beginning of the story. Let us reconsider how deep and meaningful the Genesis 1 and 2 are. It is not only good enough to know
what day God created what. We must dig deeper into why He created. Genesis 1 and 2 are inviting us to see the narrative of God and to get or mistreat the beginning will have catastrophic results.
The reason we dug, and will continue to dig into land, people, king is because these three themes will ultimate and continually point us to Jesus, His character and work.
All of Scripture, everything written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms, is pointing and culminates with Jesus (Luke 24:27, 44). So, the more we contemplate and mediated on the narrative of Scripture—from Genesis to Revelation—the more that we will encounter and delight ourselves in Jesus.
So, please keep joining us as we unfold this summer the narrative of Scripture.
