Who fashioned and made us,

protected and stayed us,Who guides us and leads to

the end of our days.

Page 4: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

His banners are o’er us, His light goes before us,

A pillar of fire shining forth in the night.

‘Til shadows have vanishedand darkness is banished,

As forward we travel,from light into light.

Page 5: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

His law He enforces:the stars in their courses,

the sun in its orbit, obediently shine;

The hills and the mountains,the rivers and fountains,The deeps of the ocean

proclaim Him divine!

Page 6: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

We too should be voicing our love and rejoicing,With glad adoration a song let us raise,

‘Til all things now livingunite in thanksgiving

To God in the highest -Hosanna and Praise!

MY HEART IS FILLED

My heart is filled with thankfulness to Him who bore my pain;Who plumbed the depths of my disgrace and gave me life again;

Page 8: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

Who crushed my curse of sinfulness and clothes me with His light,and wrote His law of righteousness with pow’r upon my heart.

Page 9: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

My heart is filled with thankfulness to Him who walks beside;Who floods my weaknesses with strength and causes fears to fly.

Page 10: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

Whose ev’ry promise is enough for ev’ry step I take.Sustaining me with arms of love and crowning me with grace.

Page 11: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

My heart is filled with thankfulness to Him who reigns above;Whose wisdom is my perfect peace, whose ev’ry thought is love.

Page 12: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

For ev’ry day I have on earth is given by the King.So I will give my life, my all, to love and follow Him.

Word.

Take Your truth, plant it deep in us;Shape and fashion us in Your

likeness,

Speak O Lord

The Prologue

The Bible is the infallible, unified record of what God has done and said.

Within that record is the woven thread of God’s plan of redemption.

So, how does that story get started?

Progressively – like a Seed growing into a tree.

Page 21: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

Genesis 1-11With staggering brevity, God records:

the origin of the universe ( 1:1-2:3) the creation of man ( 1:26-31 ; 2:7-25) human sin (3:1-7) redemptive revelation (3 :8-24) the human family (4:1-15) godless civilization (4-8) and a major

judgment the beginning of the nations (10:1-32) the origin of languages (11:1ff) the beginning of the Hebrew race

(11:10ff)

Page 22: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

Key Questions:

As we look at the book of Genesis “Is there any link between

what is recorded and God’s goal for all history?”

“Is there anything here that indicates that God is moving toward His goal?”

“What has God spotlighted in all this history?”

Page 23: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

Genesis 1-11 is very selective in its historicity.

This is true of all Scripture. God focuses only on those facts,

events, places and figures which lend to the development of His Story.

Does any of this activity have a bearing on what God desires to do on Earth?

Page 24: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

Further Summary:

1-4 Perfect Creation spoiled by sin

6-9 Flood of judgment

11 Defiant Gathering & Scattering

Page 25: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

Once we understand the details and direction of these three segments,

we can then collapse this entire portion of Scripture into one general statement.

“God’s Point” for Genesis 1-11 We must understand what is

happening here if Genesis 12 and the rest of Scripture are to make any sense!

Page 26: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

What is God’s Plan?

1 God's redemptive operation will happen on the Earth,

2 God's program involves people, 3 God's purposes are accomplished

through godly people.

What, then, do we want to watch for in Genesis 1-11?

Page 27: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

What characterizes godly people? But what is recorded about man in Gen

3-11? Gen 3:6 Can God work through those

who sense an estrangement from Him? Gen 3:8,12; 4.8 Can God be glorified

through people who are at odds with one another?

Is there any hope of righteousness reigning over all the Earth in view of Genesis 6:12?

Page 28: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

By the time we get to Gen 11 (tower of Babel) it is clear that man is at odds with Jehovah, and the entire society reflects a sickening attitude of "let's gang up against God!"

And look at man's primary motivation for building the tower of Babel: to make a name for himself, not God!

Page 29: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

Would you say that Genesis 1-11 serves as an encouraging introduction to the certainty of God's plan being accomplished through people such as these?

Man is utterly corrupt, entertaining evil in his heart continually.

He has no regard for the plans of God...nor for His Person!

Page 30: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

The primary function of Gen 1-11

It sets the stage for what comes after

It shows the need for the plan of redemption.

These chapters show man's desperate need, and, consequently, the need for God to act.

They make one thing clear: man has failed miserably. He has dashed to pieces any dreams of his exaltation or forward progress.

Page 31: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

In short, Genesis 1-11 calls for a radical shift in the course of events.

Page 32: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

That radical shift comes in Genesis 12

So far God has acted to restrain sin and to judge.

But something tremendous is about to happen that will alter man's plight and advance God's desires.

God Himself is about to enter the realm of human destiny to act on behalf of fallen man!

THERE IS A REDEEMER

There is a Redeemer,Jesus, God’s own Son;Precious Lamb of God,Messiah, Holy One.

Page 34: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

Thank You, oh, my Father,for giving us Your Son,And leaving Your Spirit ‘til the work on earth is done.

Page 35: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

Jesus my Redeemer, Name above all names;Precious Lamb of God,

Messiah,O for sinners slain.

Page 36: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

Thank You, oh my Father, for giving us Your Son,

and leaving Your Spirit ‘til the work on earth is

done.

Page 37: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

When I stand in glory, I will see His face;

There I’ll serve my King forever

In that holy place.

Page 38: Let All Things Now Living Let all things now living, a song of thanksgiving to God their Creator triumphantly raise

Thank You, oh my Father, for giving us Your Son,

and leaving Your Spirit ‘til

the work on earth is done.***
