Genesis 1 Isn’t About Eyebrows: Seeing God’s Signature in Creation

Genesis 1 is one of the most famous—and most debated—passages in the Bible. But is it really meant to answer modern scientific questions, or is it doing something deeper?Using the unexpected illustration of the Mona Lisa, this sermon explores Genesis 1 as a foundation for Christian belief, revealing God’s consistent “signature” in creation: His presence, His ordering of chaos, and His sovereignty over all things.We reflect on how God speaks creation into being, how the Word runs from Genesis to the Gospel of John, and how Jesus Himself is the ultimate confirmation that this world belongs to God. Rather than arguing science versus faith, this sermon invites us to step back, like art lovers before a masterpiece, and ask what creation tells us about the Artist—and how that shapes the way we live today.
