In this sermon, Pastor Drew Webb continues our journey through Genesis, focusing on Day 4 of creation when God placed the sun, moon, and stars in the heavens. This passage reveals God’s intentional design in separating day from night, regulating signs and seasons, and providing light for the earth. Far from being random accidents of the cosmos, these celestial bodies were made with purpose, order, and meaning.
The message highlights how the heavens display God’s glory, His concern for His creation, and His very existence. The stars are not objects of worship, as ancient cultures once believed, but rather signposts pointing to the Creator. Scripture reminds us that God calls each star by name and sustains them, showing His power and His personal care for humanity. Just as the rising sun displays God’s common grace to all people, the night sky testifies to His majesty and eternal power.
This sermon encourages us to look beyond the beauty of creation to the One who spoke it into existence. The heavens declare the glory of God and proclaim His handiwork. Every sunrise, every star, and every glimpse of the moon reminds us that there is a Creator who is both powerful and deeply personal. Genesis 1:14–19 calls us to worship not the creation, but the God who designed it for His glory and our good.
