Misconceptions of who God is

1. The God of the _______________ - the concept of God is used to explain the “gaps” of what we can’t ______________ by ourselves.

2. The _________________ God - science and religion are two totally distinct and self-contained realms that are equally true but never overlap.

3. The ________________-Landlord God - God is the prime mover in creation, but then ______________ from His creation.

4. The ________________ God - the question of can you really be sure ___________________.

5. The Hand-_______________ God - the God people turn to when they can’t explain why _______________________.

6. The Lowest _______________________God - the God of _________________ religions.

“In the beginning” tells us God is _________________ and therefore not subject to time and matter.

“God created” - tells us God is all _________________ and nothing is beyond Him.

He created “the heavens and the earth” - tells us He knows ___________________.

Everything that follows Genesis 1:1 is the heart of God ________________ Himself so that we may enter into a relationship with Him.

If you ________________ Genesis 1:1 everything falls into place.
