    11. 11 Now

    12. 12 Lesson Two: “ How Did It All Begin.” Evidence to support the creation as a 24 hour event. Read Genesis 1:1 Why should we be concerned with creation? Does it really matter to our faith. John 1: 1-14 Hebrews 11: 1-6 When did “ something” begin to exist?

    13. 13 Who is God (1:1) Genesis 1:1-2 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was empty, a formless mass cloaked in darkness. And the Spirit of God was hovering over its surface.
