Pastor Scott started with the creation story, which he summarized in three words: separation, filling and blessing. In the first three days, God separates light from dark, sea from sky, and water from land. On Days 4 through 6, he fills the world with the sun, moon and stars; fish and birds, and animals and humankind. The 7th day is the Sabbath, God's blessing. God does the same with his people, says Pastor Scott. Think of Abraham or Moses - they were separated out from other people, filled with God's spirit, and then through Him, the world was blessed.
God tends to pick the unexpected and unlikely people to do his good work, explained Pastor Scott. God does things through us that we can't do on our own. And God isn't going to quit until things are the way he wants them to be. Thank God for that!
