Genesis 1:1
INTRO: I want you to take your bibles now this morning and be finding your place at the very first verse of the very first book in all of your bible. Genesis chapter 1 and verse number 1, and if you're still looking after 2 minutes, you're in big trouble. Genesis chapter 1 and verse 1 and this morning we are going to begin a new series of studies through the book of Genesis that I want to entitle, "The Book of Beginnings."

We're told about the beginning of time and history. We're told about the beginning of the universe. We're told about the beginning of this planet. We're told about the beginning of mankind.

We're told about the beginning of redemption. And we're told about the beginning of prophecy. We're told about the beginning of so many things here in the first book of the Bible. That's why it's called the book of Genesis.
Now, at the very beginning of this book there's what I believe is the most read sentence in the history of the world. We all know it; say it out loud with me, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Isn't that a great sentence? Isn't that a great statement? I wonder how many millions of people have started out to read the bible through from cover to cover, got to the begats and the begots over in Leviticus and stopped, but at least they read that firs ...
