What does the Bible tell us about God before anything exists?
In this sermon on Genesis 1:1–2, we explore the opening verses of Scripture and what they reveal about God’s character. Before creation takes shape, the Spirit of God is present—hovering over what is formless and void, ready to bring life, order, and purpose out of chaos.
This message looks at how God is eternal, powerful, loving, and present from the very beginning—and how humanity’s rebellion fractured that original design. Sin did not just affect Adam and Eve; it disrupted the entire human story, leaving us unable to restore ourselves to God on our own.
From the first pages of the Bible, this sermon points us forward to Jesus Christ, the good news of redemption. The same God who hovered over creation moves toward us in love, calling us to repent, believe the gospel, and allow the Holy Spirit to bring new life where there has been emptiness.
