Amen and amen and good evening and welcome.

So glad you're here.

You can be seated.

I would say that to you online, but you're already seated in a nice comfortable recliner probably.

Unlike these poor people here locally.

Okay. Well, I have to stand through the whole thing.

Okay. Well, you know what tonight is? The beginning. The beginning. I know Capono just led us in a song about the end.

Genesis chapter one.

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I've been looking forward to beginning again

in the book of beginnings, which is what Genesis means, origins, beginnings. This is actually

our second time as a church going verse by verse through the book of Genesis.

The last time was, wow, 19 years ago, 2007.

I'm not going to tell you how long it took us to get through it.

Okay, I'll tell you. Two years, but we're not

going to do that this time. And here's why. Lord willing, I want to do one chapter a week,

there's 50 chapters, and complete it in one year if we're still here,

which if we're not, cool.

But if we are, we're going to try to take one chapter a week, Lord willing again. And tonight,

we're going to see just how extraordinarily incomprehensible it is that within this creation account we are created in the image of God

and it's even better than that but I don't want to get ahead of myself you're

just gonna have to wait so let me pray and ask God to just give us eyes to see what

he wants to show us Father we're so grateful to you for your Word in this chapter,
