What does Genesis 1 teach about the structure of the world—and how does it confront pagan creation myths?
In this exposition of Genesis 1:6–10, we examine the second and third days of creation, where God forms the heavens, earth, and seas—the very stage upon which the drama of redemption unfolds.
Unlike the pagan gods of the ancient world, Scripture reveals Yahweh as the one true and living God who creates all things, rules all realms, and is not bound by them.
In this sermon, you’ll learn:
What the “expanse” means in Genesis 1
The biblical teaching on the three heavens
How Genesis 1 functions as a polemic against pagan mythology
John Calvin’s concept of creation as the “theater of redemption”
How Jesus Christ demonstrates authority over heaven, earth, and sea
This message will deepen your understanding of Scripture and strengthen your confidence in the sovereignty of God over all creation.
