## Resource

Episode 1 of this new series examines the opening chapter of Genesis exactly as it is written. Did God create the heavens and the earth as His Word plainly declares, or have generations of Christians accepted ideas that cause them to reinterpret the biblical account? Together, we will explore creation ex nihilo, the heavens and the earth, the meaning of the Hebrew word רָקִיעַ (raqia), the firmament, the waters above and below, the sun, moon, and stars, and God's declaration that His finished creation was "very good." This study challenges listeners to place Scripture above the traditions and theories of men and to ask one simple question: Will we allow God's Word to define creation, or will we redefine God's Word? Next week, we'll continue with Part 2: "The Firmament Throughout Scripture: God's Revelation Versus Man's Concept of Outer Space." Your support helps us proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ without compromise and place God's Word into the hands of those who need it most. Thank you for standing with us as we work to make disciples and get a Bible into every hand.
