Psalm 139 13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful,     I know that full well.

Psalm 139 15 My frame was not hidden from you    when I was made in the secret place,    when I was woven together  in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;     all the days ordained for me were written in your book     before one of them came to be.

God’s Story: Finding our Place in His Unfolding Plan Mark 1: Jesus’s Message: Repent, Believe, Follow Mark 4: Jesus’s Illustration: The Seed & Soil

Jesus’s Illustration: The Seed & Soil Creation Calls Psalm 8 1 Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. 2 Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.

Jesus’s Illustration: The Seed & Soil Creation Calls Psalm 8 3 When I consider your heavens,     the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars,     which you have set in place, 4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,     human beings that you care for them?

Jesus’s Illustration: The Seed & Soil Creation Calls Matthew 6:28-30 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin… 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you – you of little faith?

How Great Thou Art O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder, Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed. Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee, How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

How Great Thou Art O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder, Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed. When through the woods, and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur And hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Jesus’s Illustration: The Seed & Soil Creation Calls Psalm 19 1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. 2 Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. 3 They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. 4 Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.

Jesus’s Illustration: The Seed & Soil Creation Calls Romans 1:20 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

Creation Calls How could I say there is no God? When all around creation calls!! A singing bird, a mighty tree, The vast expanse of open sea

Jesus’s Illustration: The Seed & Soil What a Seed Needs 1 Corinthians 15:2-4 By this gospel you are saved… …that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures
