Series: What’s in a Name – What we call God Matters
Message: Elohim: The All-Powerful God
Pastor Tyronne Gross Jr.
No One Greater Than The Creator
Main Text: Genesis 1:1-5 (NIV)
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
Biblical Background: The First Book of the Bible (Genesis) Starts with How Everything Began and Who Was Behind It.
3 Truths

Genesis 1:1-2, 26-27
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters…
26Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
