This is the first message of a new series in the gook of Genesis. Today pastor David Guzik takes an in depth look at verse 1: "In The Beginning". You can find the Enduring Word commentary for Genesis 1 here: enduringword.c...
Pastor David. You are one of the best teachers I’ve ever heard. Not only are you Christ focused and expository, you are exuberant in your faith and bold as a lion, but you also demonstrate the tender heart of a shepherd. I have been tremendously blessed through your work. Thank you.
One morning, I was studying the Bible with my YouVersion app just listening to the Bible being read to me as I followed along and wrote notes. I closed my Bible in frustration and confessed to God that I didn’t get it. I felt ashamed. But, the same day God introduced me to one of your Bible study videos and I’m so glad He did. You are anointed with teaching the word in, like, an educational television program that’s comforting to me. Thank you, Pastor David. Thank you for breaking down the verses and adding insight that is related to the verses too. You are great! 😊
❤❤❤agreed! I praise God for filling your heart with thirst for His Word and honesty in confessing Him your frustration that night. He was faithful to you! Praise His Name!
I am one of those people that want to go through your entire series and read your entire Enduring Word your family are mentioned in prayers always thank you
I finally starting reading my bible everyday. I came across your bible studies last week and i was hooked. My bible reading by myself in the morning then at work your audio bible studies. Both together so much more motivating me to really want to draw closer to God!!! I hope that's okay with God. Thank you!!!! It's been great!!!!
I started following you when I was in Matthew several months ago. I completed Revelation last night and now I’m excited to start over again in Genesis using your commentary. Thanks so much for all you do! It’s truly enriched my studies of God’s Word!
Watching your videos as reading your commentaries has really helped me understand the Bible and know God’s message for my life is in each chapter. Thanks 🙏🏽

This word ELOHIM is the very passage I use to witness to Jews. I have a deep desire to witness to them . ECHAD is another word that is plural but one in meaning. They can never debate the scriptures. Christ said “ Search the scriptures:for in them ye Think ye have eternal life ; and they are they that testify of ME.” !!!
Thanks you for all your effort and encouragement, God put me here to acknowledge your knowledge, been looking to type of support, may our Heavenly Father, filled you with blessings to you and your Family en Jesus Name 🙏🏽✝️
Good evening 🙏 ✨️ I just discovered your channel and I am listening to the life of Joseph in Genesis. It is truly wonderful 💖 Thank you !!! God be with you 🙏 🙌
I'm thankful to find this channel. I had started to read myself from beginning to end and was really perplexed in Genesis that I couldn't bring myself to move forward. Thank you
Absolutely love how you break down the first verse of the Bible. Am falling in love with it and want to know more about Jesus and have a lasting personal relationship with Him. I am looking forward to reading more and more every day and again fall in love with it. Am grateful to God for you and for blessing you with wisdom and understanding to share and teach. I have been reading the Bible many times but never really understood the meaning of it. Thank you so much for your love and passion for teaching about Jesus. Blessings
Thank you. That was a delicious buffet of ideas, philosophical,scientific, rabbinical, with Hebrew etymologies. All under the overarching thesis of Christ. I had to subscribe
Glad you enjoyed it! The later videos in the series have even more of a visual component, allowing you to read along and see the verses and quotations for yourself. Thank you for your kind words and support,
Thank you for starting this I’m on the journey to breaking down the Bible I’ve started with the Good News I now fully understand and grasped the 4 Gospels and now I want to go back to the beginning but it’s hard to stay on track I always feel like I’m not getting the message I just want to get through the Bible and fully understand. Jesus is the Truth and the ONLY way, I am a firm believer now- I just wished it didn’t take me 27 years to really build my own relationship with HIM and I’m 27! If you ask me who I was a year ago and how I went through life I would’ve answered lost and blind but NOW I SEE.

I’m sorry that someone came on your comment with blasphemy. God is not the author of confusion. Pastor Guzik is great at helping you understand God’s Word. He can and does walk you through the whole Bible. God has truly anointed him.
Pastor David. My heart blesses you. I came across your blog this morning after having a thought while sleeping about Abraham's journey to Canaan. Your commentary on Genesis 12 (when he lied that is wife was his sister) and it was so enlightening. Thank you for sharing and doing this. The Lord is at work and I pray he blesses you immensely for serving HIM with all you have. 🙏🏻
The way that he explained why the Devil is perversing many humans through sinful sexuality makes a lot of sense. I've always been against it but he explained what the evil one's thought process is.
Dear Pastor David: Blessings to you for this in depth teaching on Genesis. Genesis 1:1 pointed me to Proverbs 8:22-30 and I Corinthians 1:18-2:16. I always listen to you. I really appreciate how you end the lesson by pointing us to Jesus❤
Hello how are you doing. Thank you for this teaching. I have subscribed and will continue to watch more. There is one mistake you said Luke Chapter 24:47 instead of verse 44.
I thankful to you reaching is so better.. God bless you 🙏🏾 This teaching needs for our churches i am a Pastor in India.. State of Goa, Pastor your prayer by grace of God, i have 40 churches in India deferent places and four state i am doing the ministry, so please prayer for our ministry and my all Pastors and my Small Family, i think if you come to India it be better Pastor 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 thank you
Thanks for this lecture, David. I have been thinking on this much the same way. Here is my take on Genesis 1:1,2 (KJ Version): In the beginning God created heaven and earth. And the earth was desolate and empty, and it was dark on the deep; and the Spirit of God was floating on the water.----------------------- So: God's exhalation brought life to earth. CO₂ was in his spirit. Without CO₂, there would be no life on earth. 0.0419% is hard to the limit. The Hebrew word for spirit is 'Ruah' and actually means breath. I hope you will like it and keep strong on the good work you are doing.

Can't believe you mentioned Carl Sagan, undoubtedly one of the most influential physicists ever. He was leagues above even Einstein. You very incorrect though saying he's unknown. He's as well know as Einstein. I was so excited you mentioned him
And yes, the person named Carl Sagan is still known. Yesterday his name came up when I was watching another RU-vid video on Genesis, and that person I was watching said that same thing you are saying about him. Thank you!
23:00 Amen If the Good God created man in his image and then looked on his creation and said he was very good then I’m sure Adam had the ability to read and write and wasn’t a dumb ape man as some may assume.
Bereshit doesn't mean ''in the beginning'' but ''in a beginning'' because the bible describes a cycle. How it was in the beginning it will be in the end (compare Genesis 1, 2 with Jeremiah 4, 23
@@DavidGuzikEnduringWord yes but he doesn't go in depth. Women marrying their rapists, was that a cultural thing, or did God implement this rule to the Jewish people? Also, women not bleeding when losing their virginity, how was this a fair way to determine if a woman was a virgin if not all women bleed. Again, did God give this rule to the Jewish people?
Does anyone know what that teal book behind him is? It says Stòry of My Life but I can’t make out the rest of it and for some reason it just looks so interesting to me
You did straight up say that you are not an astronomer which is very decent to admit but when you mention distances in space, the light year is a much better way than using miles as many people including myself cannot comprehend trillions of miles etc
I would like to know the source of the comment that only one one thousandth of the Bible is in question. Thousands of variants occur in the manuscripts (although most are of minor importance
ID creationist books also mention horse evolution but do not discuss it in any detail. Davis and Kenyon (2004:96) deny the existence of the evolutionary sequence of horses, yet make no further mention of it anywhere else in their book. Donald Prothero
Pastor Lance replies - I know, huh? It's amazing. God's Word is just that rich. And this verse, the one that opens the Bible is PACKED with information and implications.
The glory of God speaks of the attributes of God. When we recognize the beauty, majesty, power, wisdom, dignity, kindness of God, etc. That's what we mean when we speak of the glory of God. I hope that this helps.
Hello, do you have a video on Genesis Chapter 3? A guy I met a couple of months ago (December 2022) wanted me to read Genesis on my own and I managed to read Genesis chapter 3 tonight.

Pastor David, when there is so much emphasis on the 'WORD', the 'Word when it comes to us, ordinary men, should come in the pure exact form. The transcriptions of the original Aramaic, Lord's Prayer, are not corrct. 'Lead us not into temptation' is wrong. The correct word as in Aramaic spoken by Lord Jesus is, 'Do not let us enter into temptation'. There is a vast difference. I recognize this as a Satanic scheme, carried forward from the times of Adam. So may you dwell a little on that when time permits.
The greatest confusion comes from equating (Adam, Eve, and Garden of Eden in Gen2) to (man & woman & earth of Gen1) these 2 accounts are completly different & try make as same is great confusion. Bible is but a love story of a jilted lover and the apple of his eye. Jesus is the Lamb slain from the foundation of this world... so when was this sinful world founded but upon the day of Adam & Eve disobedience for it was then that God discarded Adam and Eve fig leaves and gave them covering of animal skins.. of necessity was the shedding of the lambs blood and Christ was appointed as He who would give his life as seed of woman to redeem men from their sins Jesus was clear and precise doubt no more. He drew a line into the sands of time by saying Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. There were 4kYrs of sin prior to John and there remain 3k years from Jesus 3 day prophesy John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. From Christ baptism & anointing unto the anointing dedication of Solomons temple was one God day of 1000yrs and from that dedication unto Adam's sin is yet another 3000yrs from OT chronology... but to equate Gen2 with Gen1 is a grave error leading to great confusion. The time between events of Gen2 and Gen1 is wholly unspecified by scripture
I would disagree with you strongly about the difference between Genesis 1 & 2. They are the same people in my opinion. Genesis 2:8 8 The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.
Moses talked with God in a way nobody until Jesus did. God told him the accurate accounts of history as it pertained to Himself and mankind. I do not believe that Moses merely relied on previous records but on God's accurate accounts directly from Himself. God did this because His history with the beginning and with man's beginnings and His early interactions with man are extremely important to how His story would be interpreted and played out in history. It was too important not to receive every detail directly from Him. This is the kind of relationship, of all the prophets, that only Moses had with God, a relationship in which Moses had conversations with God and was dictated to by God.
In the beginning the earth was dust left over from the explosion of several older stars. It slowly coalesced under gravity. Then after millions of years the gas that would become the sun condensed to a point that nuclear fussion was possible and a star was born. The remaining materials also coalesced to become the planets and other materials of the solar system. This is the accepted scientific model. Of course, you could say, poof, and an imaginary being used magic to create it. Which ever one makes the most sense to you. 😅
No need for sarcasm. :-/ We both believe something that is not provable. Therefore, we have to examine what evidence is available, and come to a conclusion. But neither you nor I can prove our belief systems in a laboratory. So I suggest that we hold our opinions tightly and be respectful to others who believe something else. I would guess that we both believe that respect is a good virtue.
Genesis 1 is Lucifer and the fallen angels. They made man in their image. Man is an idol, a trap for angels. Genesis 2:7 the Lord God forms His representation in THEIR system. Only one Gospel: The Gospel of Reconciliation. Jesus Christ came into THEIR kingdom to reconcile fallen angels unto Himself. We are the fallen angels (ELOHIM) in DNA chains of darkness. If you do not confess being a fallen angel in Lucifer's kingdom, then you are an unbeliever. Unbeliever = those that claim to be made in the image of God.
