Oh let the Son of God and found you with his spirit and his love,

let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you

home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible Teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calbury Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire

Bible. And on today's edition of the Word for today,

Kasser Chuck continues with the Book of the Beginnings as we pick up in Genesis chapter 1 verse 1. And now with today's

message here's Pastor Chuck.

Shall we now turn in our Bibles to Genesis chapter 1, verse 1.

The word Genesis in Hebrew means beginning.

And so it is the book of the beginnings. And in Genesis we find the beginning of the universe first of all and then the beginning of the beginning of the universe,

and then the beginning of the life forms within the universe,

the beginning of man,

the beginning of sin and death. Then we find the beginning of God's Redemptive Program by the beginning of a nation.

The majority of the Book of Genesis has to do with God's Redemptive Plan by immediately narrowing down in the genealogies to one family from which family all the nations of the world are to be blessed.

Now at various places in the book of Genesis we will be given a listing of the

genealogies of the people that

God did not intend to give us a complete genealogical record of all.
