The Foundation of Truth (1 of 61)
In the Beginning
Pastor Jeff Schreve
Primary Scripture: Genesis 1:1
If you have your Bible, please turn to Genesis chapter 1, verse 1. If you have trouble finding Genesis 1:1, you're in trouble.
The old hymn says this: "How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, is laid for your faith in His excellent Word. What more can He say than to you He has said; to you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?" Our faith is built on the solid foundation of the Word of God and the God of the Word.

You get it off on the wrong hole, and the whole rest of the shirt is off if you miss the first button. Well, the first button of the Bible, of the shirt called the Bible, of the shirt called life is, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Now, that is foundational truth. It's only seven words in Hebrew. It's ten words in English. That creates the foundation for you, for me, for us to build our lives on the truths found in Genesis 1:1. Now, I'm going to preach on today is Genesis 1:1. Chris said, "You're doing a whole sermon on one verse?" I said, "I had this guy i ...
