New Testament Reading John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  He was with God in the beginning.  Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

Prayer

Message—Barbara Shafer “He is the Creator.

In our new series, “Who is this King of Glory?” we are answering the question, Who is God? Today we see, “He is the Creator” and we look at the foundational understanding of God as Creator.

The two stanza hymn found in Colossians 1:15-20 shows God as Creator and creates a firm separation between who God is and what He created.

Colossians 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
