Genesis 1:1-6 (NIV)

1 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.

3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.

5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning--the first day.

6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." 

I.       Before the Creation, there was God…

II.      Before the Creation, there was love…

III.     Before the Creation, there was darkness…

a.      The word brings order out of chaos

b.     The Word will one day redeem what sin has destroyed

John 1:1–4,

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… [3] All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. [4] In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
