Sermon 1: The Two Realms

Genesis 1-3

Main Idea: The opening statement of the Bible communicates that all of creation exists on two levels- a heavenly one and an earthly one.

Today we will examine how Moses explains this in the opening chapters of the Bible.

1. The creation exists in two realms- the physical and spiritual (Gen1:1,2:1)
2. All of this was in perfect harmony and balance
   1. The author is using the power of 7’s to communicate the level of perfection God is very hands on Sin lead to a divine barrier between the two worlds (Genesis 3:24)
