Living According to God's Orderly Creation-God's Sovereignty, Our Responsibility

Genesis 1:24-31

  • Rev. Dr. Paul Kacsur
  • August 24, 2025

 

In this sermon, Rev. Paul Kacsur explores the theme of God's sovereignty and man's responsibility, focusing on the sixth day of creation in Genesis. He emphasizes that God created everything with order and purpose, and humanity, made in His image, holds a unique and privileged role in creation. Rev. Kacsur humorously uses quotes from John Wayne and football analogies to highlight that life is difficult, and believers must live wisely and intentionally, grounded in God’s truth. He critiques secular worldviews that dismiss God's involvement in creation, stressing that faith in God's Word—especially Genesis 1:1—is foundational to Christian life.

He reflects on the wonder of human life, particularly the intricate design of male and female, and the gift of reproduction, underscoring that gender and life itself are part of God’s perfect design. He strongly defends the sanctity of life, contrasting biblical values with modern cultural distortions, particularly regarding abortion and gender identity. The sermon repeatedly underscores that everything we have and are is dependent on God, from our breath to our ability to think and choose. Rev. Kacsur urges believers to praise God consistently, even in ordinary moments, and to be faithful disciples in daily life. Ultimately, he calls the congregation to live with gratitude, worship, and obedience, always seeking God first and trusting in His sovereignty.
