This quarter we’re looking at the book of Genesis.
Our familiarity with Genesis can lead us to miss the point. In the description of Creation we see the goodness of God at work. Why is it that after every day’s creation God sees that “it was good” and at the end “it was very good”? God’s sounds very self-congratulatory, almost proud about his creative work. In counter to this mistaken view, we should see God as identifying the good expression of his goodness, that there is no imperfection and that creation is indeed a representation of who he is.
God’s character is seen in all he does, especially as he lovingly forms mater out of nothing, and then forms every galaxy, star and planet—and us from the dust of the ground.
Genesis is as much a prime aspect of the cosmic conflict as any other biblical book. The means and perfection of creation assume even greater importance as we understand the background to God’s incredible creative acts.
The key point is the Creator who delights in each day of the creation of our world, step by step bringing it to completion. The creative delight in forming the myriads of birds and animals in their many forms and colors speaks to a Designer who loves to use the whole palette he has made!

Speaking at Sligo Church Sabbath School Teachers’ Meeting:
Some of Dr. Gallagher’s articles and books are available here: articles books
Through a free, conversational study of the Scriptures Dr. Jonathan Gallagher invites you to participate in an exciting analysis and discussion of the Sabbath school lesson in the context of the character of God and in the setting of the Great Controversy
This supportive ministry seeks to make the Sabbath school study a relevant and important part of spiritual life by providing actual class discussions in audio format, accompanied by
study sheets. In this way class members become far more involved in discussing vital spiritual issues,particularly focusing on the nature and character of God in the setting of the Great Controversy. By centering the focus on a ‘free, conversational study of the Scriptures,’ Sabbath School On The Move contributes to both the growth and development of individual members and also a wider and more dynamic involvement in the fundamental message and mission of the church.
Recorded at different locations and also online, Sabbath School On The Move is made available free via the Internet to all, providing a rich resource for those teaching the lesson as well as those wishing to be more deeply informed about the subjects presented by the lesson. It is particularly useful to those who for various reasons are not able to attend Sabbath school in person, and provides a “virtual community” to members who can then experience the sense of belonging and participating in the wider church around the world.
