Week of September 7, 2025

Monday | Genesis 2:7, 21-22

Humans are made from dirt and the breath of God. Why does it matter what we’re made of? How does this keep us connected to creation? How can this knowledge fill us with both humility and glory?

Tuesday | Deuteronomy 10:12-15

Everything belongs to God. Therefore, God gets to make claims and set expectations on everything. What is God’s command for humans in this passage? The world spins in order--does your life? How can we join with all creation by following God’s commands for us?

Wednesday | John 1:1-5

What was Jesus’ role in creation, according to this passage? Why do you think this passage emphasizes the fact that Jesus, alongside the Father, created everything? What is the connection between “light” in Genesis 1 and John 1? 

Thursday | Colossians 1:15-18

Jesus is the source and purpose behind all creation. What does “created through him and for him” (v.16) mean to you? Jesus holds the whole universe together - what evidence do you see of this? Gravity holds us to the earth; Jesus holds our lives together. Think of a couple of specific examples of how Jesus holds life together.

Friday | Psalm 104

While this is a more extended reading, it is a poetic celebration of God’s creation. What imagery spoke to you? How does this Psalm convey God in his creative power? What about the glory of creation? How can we celebrate and glorify God in this beautiful world he created?
