YOU’RE THE WORD of God the Father,
From before the world began.
Ev’ry star and ev’ry planet
Has been fashioned by your hand.
All creation holds together
By the power of your voice.
Let the skies declare your glory;
Let the land and seas rejoice!
You’re the author of creation;
You’re the Lord of ev’ry man;
And your cry of love rings out across the lands.
Yet you left the gaze of angels,
Came to seek and save the lost,
And exchanged the joy of heaven
For the anguish of a cross.
With a prayer you fed the hungry;
With a word you stilled the sea;
Yet how silently you suffered
That the guilty may go free.
With a shout you rose victorious,
Wresting vict’ry from the grave,
And ascended into heaven,
Leading captives in your wake.
Now you stand before the Father,
Interceding for your own;
From each tribe, and tongue, and nation,
You are leading sinners home!
Holy Spirit, living Breath of God,
Breathe new life into my willing soul.
Bring the presence of the risen Lord
To renew my heart and make me whole.
Cause Your Word to come alive in me;
Give me faith for what I cannot see;
Give me passion for Your purity.
Holy Spirit, breathe new life in me.
Holy Spirit, come abide within;
May Your joy be seen in all I do—
Love enough to cover ev’ry sin
In each thought and deed and attitude,
Kindness to the greatest and the least,
Gentleness that sows the path of peace.
Turn my striving into works of grace.
Breath of God, show Christ in all I do.
Holy Spirit, from creation’s birth,
Giving life to all that God has made,
Show your power once again on earth;
Cause Your church to hunger for Your ways.
Let the fragrance of our prayers arise.
Lead us on the road of sacrifice
That in unity the face of Christ
Will be clear for all the world to see.
Pastor Art Arzurdia preaching on the theme of Jesus Christ as The Lord of Providence:
Heb 1:3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.
Col 1:15-17 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 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. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Thou art worthy, Thou art worthy,
Thou art worthy, O Lord,
To receive glory, glory and honor,
Glory and honor and pow’r;
For Thou has created, hast all things created,
Thou hast created all things,
And for Thy pleasure they are created:
Thou art worthy, O Lord!
Thou art worthy, Thou art worthy,
Thou art worthy, O Lamb,
Toe recieve blessing, glory and honor
And pow’r at the Father’s right hand;
For Thou hast redeemed us, hast ransomed and cleaned us,
By Thy blood setting us free,
In white robes arrayed us, Kings and priests made us:
We are reigning in Thee!
Thou art worthy, Thou art worthy,
Thou art worthy, O Lord,
To receive glory, glory and honor,
Glory and honor and pow’r;
For Thou has created, hast all things created,
Thou hast created all things,
And for Thy pleasure they are created:
Thou art worthy, O Lord!
Thou Art Worthy
(Adapted from Revelation 4:11)

Pastor Art Arzurdia preaching on the theme of Jesus Christ as The Heir of All Things:
Heb 1:1-2 .. God … in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.
Thou art worthy, Thou art worthy, O Lord,
To receive glory, glory and honor,
Glory and honor and power.
For Thou hast created, hast all things created;
Thou hast created all things.
And for Thy pleasure,
They are created;
Thou art worthy, O Lord.
For Thou hast created, hast all things created;
Thou hast created all things.
And for Thy pleasure, they are created;
Thou art worthy, O Lord.
-Thou Art Worthy Lyrics (Adapted from Revelation 4:11)
Heb 10:12-13 But when Christ had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time until his enemies should be made a footstool for his feet
Pastor Art Arzurdia preaching on the theme of Jesus Christ as The Creator of All Things:
Heb 1:2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.
Joh 1:2-3 He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Col 1:16-17 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. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
1Co 8:6 … and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.
“I see him standing, as it were, at the anvil of omnipotence, hammering out the worlds that fly off, like sparks, on every side at each stroke of his majestic arm. It was Christ who was there,— “the wisdom of God and the power of God,” as Paul calls him,— creating all things.”Charles H Spurgeon from Sermons on The Epistle to the Hebrews 1:2 Depths and Heights
The invention of Chinese writing character is generally estimated to be about 2500 to 2800 BC. Therefore, the people which settled in China, after the global dispersal following Tower of Babel account by God, must have know the many accounts of Man prior to the Babel dispersal. This would include the stories of the Creation by God, Fall of Man and Flood. It is natural for these people to put these pre-Babel stories (also recorded within Book of Genesis) into the development a writing.
I found another good video by an individual to show a few of the many stories from Book of Genesis that have been found within the Chinese writing characters.
“We are in no position as creatures to dictate to our Creator what he may or should be like. God is absolute reality. He was there before anything else was, and he did not come into being, but always was. Therefore nobody made him the way he is, and there is no reason he is the way he is. He simply is. That is his name: “I Am Who I Am” (Exodus 3:14). Our role is not to say what can and can’t be in God, but to learn who he is and who we are, and to shape our lives according to his reality – his will. We submit to the way he is. He doesn’t submit to the way we are or the way we think he should be.”
It is also important to all of us because understanding origins in the book of Genesis is foundational to the rest of the Bible.If Genesis chapter 1 and chapter 2 don’t tell us the truth, then why should we believe anything else in the Bible? If it says in the New Testament that the Creator is our Redeemer, that God is not the Creator, then maybe He’s not the Redeemer either. If it tells us in 2 Peter that God Himself will bring about an instantaneous dissolution of the entire universe as we know it, that God in a moment will uncreate everything, then that has tremendous bearing upon His power to create…the same One who with a word can uncreate the universe is capable of creating it as quickly as He desires.
So what we believe about creation, what we believe about Genesis has implications all the way to the end of Scripture, implications with regard to the veracity and truthfulness of Scripture, implications as to the gospel and implications as to the end of human history all wrapped up in how we understand origins in the book of Genesis. The matter of origins then is absolutely critical to all human thinking. It becomes critical to how we conduct our lives as human beings. Without an understanding of origins, without a right understanding of origins, there is no way to comprehend ourselves. There is no way to understand humanity as to the purpose of our existence, and as to our destiny. If we cannot believe what Genesis says about origins, we are lost as to our purpose and our destiny. Whether this world and its life as we know it evolved by chance, without a cause, or was created by God has immense comprehensive implications for all of human life.
Now there basically are only two options. You can either believe what Genesis says or not. And that is no over-simplification. Frankly, believing in a supernatural creative God who made everything is the only possible rational explanation for the universe, for life, for purpose and for destiny.
