Seeing God in Creation (Part One)

Sermonette by Ronny H. Graham

The academicians of Paul's time were no different from current academicians, who have swallowed Darwin's hypothesis, claiming that apes were our ancestors.

Creation Stewardship

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Martin G. Collins

Creation itself serves as revelation, declaring God's glory, wisdom, and eternal power so plainly that humanity is left without excuse before Him, as Romans 1:20-21 makes clear. This revelation is not abstract but woven throughout Scripture, particularly in passages like Psalm 104, which display seven distinct provisions of creation: Earth's balanced energy exchange with the sun, including the ozone shield; soil and land building through patient natural cycles; the constant recycling of carbon, water, and other elements; water purification through percolation; the fruitfulness and abundant biodiversity of life; global circulations of water and air that sustain the "breath of life"; and finally, humanity's God-given ability to learn moral and practical lessons from creation itself. Each provision testifies to a Designer, Sustainer, and Creator whose genius and care are evident even to the unconverted, who may grasp God's wisdom through nature without understanding Scripture directly. This revelation carries responsibility. Genesis 1:26-28 establishes that dominion over the earth was given to mankind and never withdrawn, even after the curse, meaning care for creation remains a divine mandate rooted in obedience rather than political motive or nature-worship. Deuteronomy's repeated command to "possess the land" ties directly into this: physical Israel's future stewardship of literal territory in the Millennium mirrors the spiritual training now required of the firstfruits, who are being prepared to govern the "territory" of God's coming Kingdom. Faithful stewardship of one's own home and environment now becomes evidence of readiness for that future rulership. Scripture also reveals creation's fragility and its bondage to decay, as Romans 8:18-23 explains—creation groans, subjected to futility because of sin, awaiting the same redemption promised to God's children. Human sin directly corrupts this revelation through habitat destruction, species extinction, land degradation, toxification, and cultural upheaval, echoing warnings such as Leviticus 18's picture of a defiled land "vomiting out" its inhabitants. Yet creation also reveals God's providence in blessing and judgment alike, from withheld rain in Amos to Christ's own illustration of the sun rising "on the evil and on the good." Ultimately, revelation from creation points forward to restoration. Jesus, in His parables and command to "consider the lilies," used the natural world to teach spiritual truth and prefigured, as the risen firstfruit, a renewed creation. Peter's promise of new heavens and a new earth confirms that ultimate restoration belongs to God alone, not human environmental efforts. Herbert Armstrong's closing vision of *The World Tomorrow* completes this revelation—crystal water, pure air, tamed animals, and radiant humanity—showing that creation's present testimony of God's genius anticipates its future perfection under His Kingdom.

Are Humans Becoming More Intelligent? (Part Four)

Commentary by Martin G. Collins

Those who refuse to acknowledge the creation's revelation that God exists are totally without excuse. Mankind has copied every innovation from God's design.

Psalms: Book Four (Part Four): God as Creator

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The Religion of Climate Change

Feast of Tabernacles Sermon by Mike Ford

Are You Sure You Believe in God? (Part One)

Sermon by Martin G. Collins

New Covenant Priesthood (Part Three)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

Without thanksgiving and praise, our prayers degenerate into the 'gimmes' with the emphasis on the self. We must give God thoughtful thanks in every circumstance.

The Holy Spirit and the Trinity (Part Two)

Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh

There are varieties of spirit, motivating people to 'go with the flow' and conform to a sheep-like mob psychology. Satan's spirit encourages sinfulness.
