God created creation in a specific order, but why? Why would God wait until day 4 to create the sun? Why are there three heavens? What is the responsibility of man? What is the light God spoke into being on Day One recorded in Genesis 1:1-5? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he unpacks the answers to all of these questions and more in the third part of the Creation Story, The Order of Creation.

The Order of Creation
God created everything in a specific order. Why?
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
Genesis 1:1-5
God created heaven and earth before He created anything else. Why? Why didn’t He created the sun first? Why did He wait for day 4 to create the sun?
14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 16 And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. 17 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
Genesis 1:14-19
