1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness.
26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.
30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so.
31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Matthew 6:28-34; 7:7-11
28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,
29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
Sermon Notes
32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?
11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

1 : 11 神说:「地要长出植物,就是含种子的五谷菜蔬,和会结果子、果子裏有种子的树,在地上各从其类。」事就这样成了。

1 : 14 神说:「天上要有光体来分昼夜,让它们作记号,定季节、日子、年份,
1 : 15 它们要在天空发光,照在地上。」事就这样成了。

1 : 17 神把这些光体摆列在天空,照在地上,
1 : 18 管理昼夜,分别光暗。 神看为好的。

1 : 22 神就赐福给这一切,说:「要繁殖增多,充满在海的水裏;飞鸟也要在地上增多。」
1 : 23 有晚上,有早晨,这是第五日。
1 : 24 神说:「地要生出有生命之物,各从其类,就是牲畜、爬行动物、地上的走兽,各从其类。」事就这样成了。

1 : 28 神赐福给他们, 神对他们说:「要生养众多,遍满这地,治理它;要管理海裏的鱼、天空的鸟和地上各样活动的生物。」
1 : 29 神说:「看哪,我把全地一切含种子的五谷菜蔬和一切会结果子、果子裏有种子的树,都赐给你们;这些都可作食物。
1 : 30 至于地上一切的走兽、天空一切的飞鸟,并一切在地上爬行的,有生命的动物,我把绿色植物赐给牠们作食物。」事就这样成了。
