Gospel Project Session 1: God's Good World

​First Baptist Church Hamilton has officially started its three-year journey in The Gospel Project. We are reading the entire Holy Bible together as one church. The youth are studying what the adults and young children are studying or hearing about. Our community groups are discussing it and we're talking about it in our homes, as families. 
On Sunday, Aug. 18, we kicked off the journey with "God's Good World" and we read Genesis 1: 1-23.
Pastor Dan Clemens said the main point of the lesson multiple times. He said, "In the beginning, GOD." God is one God, and He is one in three persons. 
In the beginning, God.
Jesus Christ is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
In the beginning, God.
The church has a memory verse for this week:
"For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities — all things were created through Him and for Him." ~ Colossians 1:15-16
For those who are interested in participating with a Gospel Project Bible, you may purchase one online. We suggest visiting smile.amazon.com and choosing First Baptist Church in Hamilton as the organization to support. The Gospel Project Bible also available at christianbooks.com.
Also during the sermon on Sunday, Pastor Dan encouraged people to download the 99 Essential Doctrines from GospelProject.com. It's a 45-page PDF file.
What are the 99 Essential Doctrines? They are the theological concepts of the Christian faith as they appear in Scripture. Here's a sample:

We hope you will join us every Sunday and Wednesday to continue through the Gospel Project as one church.
