Hi and welcome to
His Words Are Life.
00:00:17.13\00:00:19.40
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and today
00:00:19.60\00:00:21.19
we're going to start reading
00:00:21.29\00:00:22.33
together at the very beginning:
00:00:22.43\00:00:23.55
Genesis chapter 1.
00:00:23.65\00:00:25.12
But before we start,
let's pray to God together.
00:00:25.32\00:00:28.46
Dear Jesus and God our Father,
00:00:28.66\00:00:31.25
thank you so much
that You loved us enough
00:00:31.45\00:00:34.94
that You created
us out of nothing
00:00:35.14\00:00:36.68
and then You came from heaven
and You redeemed us out of sin
00:00:36.88\00:00:40.39
and re-created
us... made us whole again.
00:00:40.49\00:00:43.46
Help us as we read the
story of Your power to create
00:00:43.66\00:00:47.44
that the words will take
root in our hearts and create us
00:00:47.54\00:00:51.26
with more power to serve You
00:00:51.37\00:00:53.78
and to bear fruit to Your glory.
00:00:53.98\00:00:55.60
We love You so much, and
thank you for loving us. Amen.
00:00:55.80\00:00:58.90
I'm reading today
from Genesis chapter 1,
00:00:59.10\00:01:02.07
the King James
version of the Bible,
00:01:02.17\00:01:03.94
and we're starting with verse 1.
00:01:04.14\00:01:05.79
In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth.
00:01:06.09\00:01:10.36
And the earth was
without form, and void;
00:01:10.56\00:01:13.75
and darkness was
upon the face of the deep.
00:01:13.95\00:01:16.23
And the Spirit of God moved
upon the face of the waters.
00:01:16.43\00:01:19.79
And God said, "Let there be
light: " and there was light.
00:01:19.99\00:01:23.67
And God saw the
light, that it was good:
00:01:23.87\00:01:26.48
and God divided the
light from the darkness.
00:01:26.68\00:01:29.37
And God called the light Day,
00:01:29.57\00:01:31.43
and the
darkness He called Night.
00:01:31.63\00:01:33.72
And the evening and the
morning were the first day.
00:01:33.92\00:01:36.90
And God said, "Let there be
a firmament in the midst of the
00:01:37.10\00:01:40.55
waters, and let it divide
the waters from the waters. "
00:01:40.65\00:01:43.53
And God made the firmament,
and divided the waters
00:01:43.73\00:01:46.76
which were under the firmament
from the waters which were
00:01:46.86\00:01:49.76
above the
firmament: and it was so.
00:01:49.86\00:01:52.58
And God called
the firmament Heaven.
00:01:52.78\00:01:55.57
And the evening and the
morning were the second day.
00:01:55.77\00:01:59.05
And God said, "Let the waters
under the heaven be gathered
00:01:59.25\00:02:04.22
together unto one place,
and let the dry land appear:
00:02:04.32\00:02:08.00
and it was so.
00:02:08.21\00:02:10.11
And God called
the dry land Earth;
00:02:10.31\00:02:12.83
and the gathering together
of the waters called He Seas:
00:02:13.03\00:02:16.21
and God saw that it was good.
00:02:16.41\00:02:18.84
And God said, "Let the
earth bring forth grass,
00:02:19.04\00:02:23.49
the herb yielding seed, and
the fruit tree yielding fruit
00:02:23.69\00:02:27.11
after his kind, whose seed
is in itself, upon the earth:
00:02:27.22\00:02:31.63
and it was so.
00:02:31.83\00:02:33.83
And the earth brought forth
grass, and herb yielding seed
00:02:34.04\00:02:37.96
after his kind, and
the tree yielding fruit,
00:02:38.06\00:02:40.49
whose seed was in
itself, after his kind:
00:02:40.60\00:02:43.27
and God saw that it was good.
00:02:43.47\00:02:45.78
And the evening and the
morning were the third day.
00:02:45.98\00:02:48.74
And God said, "Let there
be lights in the firmament
00:02:49.05\00:02:52.18
of the heaven to
divide the day from the night;
00:02:52.28\00:02:55.05
and let them be for
signs, and for seasons,
00:02:55.25\00:02:57.57
and for days, and years:
00:02:57.77\00:02:59.48
And let them be for lights
in the firmament of the heaven
00:02:59.68\00:03:02.82
to give light upon the
earth: " and it was so.
00:03:02.93\00:03:06.81
And God made two great lights;
00:03:07.01\00:03:09.74
the greater
light to rule the day,
00:03:09.95\00:03:11.83
and the lesser light to rule the
night: He made the stars also.
00:03:12.03\00:03:16.51
And God set them in
the firmament of the heaven
00:03:16.71\00:03:19.07
to give light upon the earth.
00:03:19.10\00:03:20.72
And to rule over the
day and over the night,
00:03:20.92\00:03:22.96
and to divide the
light from the darkness:
00:03:23.06\00:03:24.95
and God saw that it was good.
00:03:25.15\00:03:27.69
And the evening and the
morning were the fourth day.
00:03:27.89\00:03:31.43
And God said, "Let the
waters bring forth abundantly
00:03:31.63\00:03:35.49
the moving creature that
hath life, and fowl that may fly
00:03:35.59\00:03:39.74
above the earth in the
open firmament of heaven. "
00:03:39.84\00:03:42.31
And God created great whales,
and every living creature
00:03:42.51\00:03:45.95
that moveth, which the
waters brought forth abundantly,
00:03:46.06\00:03:48.74
after their kind, and every
winged fowl after his kind:
00:03:48.84\00:03:52.65
and God saw that it was good.
00:03:52.95\00:03:55.43
And God blessed them, saying,
"Be fruitful, and multiply,
00:03:55.64\00:03:59.54
and fill the waters in the seas,
00:03:59.64\00:04:01.66
and let fowl
multiply in the earth.
00:04:01.86\00:04:04.14
And the evening and the
morning were the fifth day.
00:04:04.34\00:04:07.67
And God said, "Let the earth
bring forth the living creature
00:04:07.87\00:04:12.44
after his kind,
cattle, and creeping thing,
00:04:12.54\00:04:15.26
and beast of the earth
after his kind: " and it was so.
00:04:15.47\00:04:19.14
And God made the beast
of the earth after his kind,
00:04:19.34\00:04:22.36
and cattle after their kind,
00:04:22.46\00:04:23.91
and every thing that creepeth
upon the earth after his kind:
00:04:24.01\00:04:27.00
and God saw that it was good.
00:04:27.20\00:04:30.14
And God said, "Let Us
make man in Our image,
00:04:30.34\00:04:34.83
after Our likeness: and let
them have dominion over the fish
00:04:35.04\00:04:39.14
of the sea, and
over the fowl of the air,
00:04:39.24\00:04:41.23
and over the cattle,
and over all the earth,
00:04:41.33\00:04:43.52
and over every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth. "
00:04:43.62\00:04:46.49
So God created
man in His own image,
00:04:46.89\00:04:51.56
in the image of
God created He him;
00:04:51.76\00:04:54.16
male and female created He them.
00:04:54.36\00:04:57.33
And God blessed them,
and God said unto them,
00:04:57.53\00:05:00.70
"Be fruitful and multiply,
and replenish the earth,
00:05:00.90\00:05:03.91
and subdue it: and have dominion
over the fish of the sea,
00:05:04.11\00:05:07.61
and over the fowl of the air,
00:05:07.81\00:05:09.58
and over every living thing
that moveth upon the earth. "
00:05:09.78\00:05:12.57
And God said, "Behold, I have
given you every herb bearing
00:05:12.77\00:05:17.32
seed, which is upon
the face of all the earth,
00:05:17.42\00:05:19.74
and every tree, in which is the
fruit of a tree yielding seed:
00:05:19.94\00:05:24.18
to you it shall be for meat.
00:05:24.38\00:05:27.08
And to every breast of
the earth, and to every fowl
00:05:27.28\00:05:29.82
of the air, and to every thing
that creepeth upon the earth,
00:05:29.92\00:05:32.43
wherein there is life, I
have every given green herb
00:05:32.63\00:05:36.44
for meat: " and it was so.
00:05:36.54\00:05:38.61
And God saw every thing
that He had made, and, behold,
00:05:38.81\00:05:42.25
it was very good.
00:05:42.45\00:05:44.10
And the evening and the
morning were the sixth day.
00:05:44.30\00:05:47.52
We are reading the account
of when God created the earth
00:05:47.72\00:05:50.44
from Genesis. We
are now in chapter 2,
00:05:50.54\00:05:52.61
and this is the
King James version.
00:05:52.71\00:05:54.44
Thus the heavens and
the earth were finished,
00:05:54.64\00:05:57.61
and all the host of them.
00:05:57.81\00:05:59.34
And on the seventh day God ended
His work which He had made:
00:05:59.64\00:06:03.73
and He rested on the seventh day
00:06:03.93\00:06:05.85
from all His work
which He had made.
00:06:05.95\00:06:07.84
And God blessed the
seventh day, and sanctified it:
00:06:08.04\00:06:10.73
because that in it He
had rested from all His work
00:06:10.76\00:06:14.17
which God created and made.
00:06:14.27\00:06:16.48
These are the generations
of the heavens and of the earth
00:06:16.68\00:06:19.95
when they were created,
in the day that the Lord God
00:06:20.05\00:06:22.38
made the earth and the heavens.
00:06:22.48\00:06:24.22
And every plant of the field
before it was in the earth,
00:06:24.42\00:06:27.65
and every herb of
the field before it grew:
00:06:27.75\00:06:30.04
for the Lord God had not caused
it to rain upon the earth,
00:06:30.24\00:06:33.54
and there was not a
man to till the ground.
00:06:33.74\00:06:36.06
But there went up a
mist from the earth,
00:06:36.26\00:06:38.63
and watered the
whole face of the ground.
00:06:38.83\00:06:41.71
And the Lord God formed
man of the dust of the ground,
00:06:41.91\00:06:46.50
and breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life;
00:06:46.70\00:06:49.77
and man became a living soul.
00:06:49.97\00:06:53.17
And the Lord God planted
a garden eastward in Eden;
00:06:53.37\00:06:57.13
and there He put the
man whom He had formed.
00:06:57.33\00:07:00.06
And out of the ground made
the Lord God to grow every tree
00:07:00.26\00:07:04.09
that is pleasant to the
sight, and good for food;
00:07:04.19\00:07:06.72
the tree of life also
in the midst of the garden,
00:07:06.92\00:07:09.91
and the tree of
knowledge of good and evil.
00:07:10.11\00:07:13.74
And a river went out of
Eden to water the garden;
00:07:13.94\00:07:17.29
and from thence it was parted,
and became into four heads.
00:07:17.49\00:07:21.30
The name of the first is Pison:
00:07:21.51\00:07:23.52
that is it which compasseth
the whole land of Havilah,
00:07:23.72\00:07:27.41
where there is gold;
00:07:27.61\00:07:28.94
and the gold of
that land is good:
00:07:29.15\00:07:31.15
there is bdellium
and the onyx stone.
00:07:31.35\00:07:33.38
And the name of the
second river is Gihon:
00:07:33.58\00:07:36.50
the same is it that compasseth
the whole land of Ethiopia.
00:07:36.70\00:07:39.68
And the name of the
third river is Hiddekel:
00:07:39.88\00:07:42.72
that is it which goeth
toward the east of Assyria.
00:07:42.92\00:07:45.70
And the fourth
river is Euphrates.
00:07:45.90\00:07:48.11
And the Lord God took the man,
00:07:48.31\00:07:50.24
and put him into the garden of
Eden to dress it and to keep it.
00:07:50.45\00:07:54.19
And the Lord God
commanded the man, saying,
00:07:54.39\00:07:56.61
"Of every tree of the
garden thou mayest freely eat:
00:07:56.71\00:07:59.84
But of the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil,
00:08:00.05\00:08:03.75
thou shalt not eat of
it: for in the day that thou
00:08:03.95\00:08:07.36
eatest thereof
thou shalt surely die. "
00:08:07.47\00:08:10.07
And the Lord God said,
00:08:10.27\00:08:11.89
"It is not good that
the man should be alone:
00:08:11.99\00:08:13.80
I will make him a
help meet for him. "
00:08:14.00\00:08:16.79
And out of the ground the
Lord God formed every beast
00:08:17.00\00:08:19.97
of the field, and
every fowl of the air;
00:08:20.07\00:08:21.82
and brought them unto Adam
to see what he would call them:
00:08:21.92\00:08:25.03
and whatsoever Adam
called every living creature,
00:08:25.23\00:08:27.90
that was the name thereof.
00:08:28.10\00:08:29.66
And Adam gave names to all
cattle, and to the fowl of the
00:08:29.86\00:08:34.45
air, and to every
beast of the field;
00:08:34.55\00:08:36.36
but for Adam there was
not found a help meet for him.
00:08:36.56\00:08:40.99
And the Lord God caused a
deep sleep to fall upon Adam,
00:08:41.19\00:08:45.64
and he slept: and He
took one of his ribs,
00:08:45.84\00:08:48.94
and closed up the
flesh instead thereof:
00:08:49.14\00:08:51.50
And the rib, which the
Lord God had taken from man,
00:08:51.70\00:08:55.53
made He a woman, and
brought her unto the man.
00:08:55.73\00:08:59.59
And Adam said, "This
is now bone of my bones,
00:08:59.62\00:09:04.32
and flesh of my flesh:
she shall be called Woman,
00:09:04.42\00:09:08.24
because she was
taken out of Man. "
00:09:08.44\00:09:10.67
Therefore shall a man
leave his father and his mother,
00:09:10.80\00:09:14.82
and shall cleave unto his wife
and they shall be one flesh.
00:09:15.03\00:09:19.14
And they were both
naked, the man and his wife,
00:09:19.34\00:09:22.02
and were not ashamed.
00:09:22.23\00:09:23.91
Again we are reading
from the book of Genesis.
00:09:24.11\00:09:26.41
And now... chapter 3.
00:09:26.62\00:09:28.11
This is the King James version.
00:09:28.31\00:09:29.95
Now the serpent was more subtle
than any beast of the field
00:09:30.15\00:09:34.81
which the Lord God had made.
00:09:34.91\00:09:36.59
And he said unto the woman,
00:09:36.79\00:09:39.98
"Yea, hath God said,
00:09:40.18\00:09:42.22
Ye shall not eat of
every tree of the garden? "
00:09:42.32\00:09:44.81
And the woman
said unto the serpent,
00:09:45.01\00:09:47.07
"We may eat of the fruit
of the trees of the garden:
00:09:47.27\00:09:49.95
But of the fruit of the tree
which is in the midst of the
00:09:50.15\00:09:53.23
garden, God hath said
ye shall not eat of it,
00:09:53.33\00:09:56.21
neither shall ye
touch it, lest ye die. "
00:09:56.41\00:09:59.33
And the serpent
said unto the woman,
00:09:59.53\00:10:02.09
"Ye shall not surely die:
00:10:02.30\00:10:03.77
For God doth know that
in the day ye eat thereof,
00:10:03.97\00:10:07.55
then your eyes shall be opened,
00:10:07.65\00:10:09.74
and ye shall be as
gods, knowing good and evil. "
00:10:09.84\00:10:12.79
And when the woman saw
that the tree was good for food,
00:10:12.99\00:10:16.61
and that it was
pleasant to the eyes,
00:10:16.81\00:10:19.09
and a tree to be
desired to make one wise,
00:10:19.29\00:10:21.93
she took of the
fruit thereof, and did eat,
00:10:22.13\00:10:25.83
and gave also unto her husband
with her: and he did eat.
00:10:26.03\00:10:30.64
And the eyes of
them both were opened,
00:10:30.84\00:10:33.32
and they knew
that they were naked;
00:10:33.52\00:10:35.55
and they sewed
fig leaves together;
00:10:35.65\00:10:37.37
and made themselves aprons.
00:10:37.47\00:10:38.94
And they heard the voice
of the Lord God walking in the
00:10:39.15\00:10:42.13
garden in the cool of the day:
00:10:42.23\00:10:43.91
and Adam and his wife hid
themselves from the presence
00:10:44.11\00:10:48.06
of the Lord God,
amongst the trees of the garden.
00:10:48.16\00:10:51.30
And the Lord God called
unto Adam, and said unto him,
00:10:51.50\00:10:54.91
"Where art thou? "
00:10:55.11\00:10:56.76
And he said, "I heard
Thy voice in the garden,
00:10:56.96\00:10:59.96
and I was afraid, because I
was naked; and I hid myself. "
00:11:00.06\00:11:03.87
And He said, "Who told
thee that thou wast naked?
00:11:04.07\00:11:08.80
Hast thou eaten of the
tree, whereof I commanded thee
00:11:09.00\00:11:12.66
that thou shouldest not eat? "
00:11:12.87\00:11:14.49
And the man said,
"The woman whom thou gavest
00:11:14.59\00:11:18.32
to be with me, she gave me
of the tree, and I did eat. "
00:11:18.42\00:11:21.87
And the Lord God
said unto the woman,
00:11:22.07\00:11:24.33
"What is this
that thou has done? "
00:11:24.53\00:11:27.54
And the woman said, "The serpent
beguiled me, and I did eat. "
00:11:27.74\00:11:32.61
And the Lord God
said unto the serpent,
00:11:32.81\00:11:35.37
"Because thou hast done this,
00:11:35.57\00:11:37.88
thou art cursed
above all cattle,
00:11:38.08\00:11:40.16
and above every
beast of the field;
00:11:40.36\00:11:42.50
upon thy belly shalt thou go,
00:11:42.70\00:11:44.98
and dust shalt thou eat
all the days of thy life:
00:11:45.18\00:11:48.28
and I will put enmity
between thee and the woman,
00:11:48.48\00:11:52.23
and between thy
seed and her seed;
00:11:52.26\00:11:55.53
it shall bruise thy head, and
thou shalt bruise his heel. "
00:11:55.73\00:12:00.79
Unto the women He said,
00:12:01.09\00:12:03.01
"I will greatly multiply
thy sorrow and thy conception;
00:12:03.21\00:12:07.26
in sorrow thou shalt
bring forth children;
00:12:07.46\00:12:10.36
and thy desire
shall be to thy husband,
00:12:10.56\00:12:13.16
and he shall rule over thee. "
00:12:13.36\00:12:15.49
And unto Adam He said,
00:12:15.69\00:12:17.66
"Because thou has hearkened
unto the voice of thy wife,
00:12:17.86\00:12:21.50
and has eaten of the tree, of
which I commanded thee, saying,
00:12:21.70\00:12:24.44
'Thou shalt not eat of it: '
00:12:24.64\00:12:25.96
cursed is the
ground for thy sake;
00:12:26.06\00:12:28.98
in sorrow shalt thou eat of
it all the days of thy life;
00:12:29.18\00:12:33.48
thorns also and thistles
shall it bring forth to thee;
00:12:33.68\00:12:37.58
and thou shalt eat
the herb of the field:
00:12:37.78\00:12:39.84
in the sweat of thy
face shalt thou eat bread,
00:12:40.14\00:12:43.41
till thou
return unto the ground;
00:12:43.61\00:12:46.00
for out of it wast thou
taken: for dust thou art,
00:12:46.20\00:12:50.05
and unto dust
shalt thou return. "
00:12:50.25\00:12:53.26
And Adam called
his wife's name Eve;
00:12:53.46\00:12:56.56
because she was the
mother of all living.
00:12:56.76\00:12:58.74
Unto Adam also and to his
wife did the Lord God make coats
00:12:58.94\00:13:02.85
of skins, and clothed them.
00:13:02.95\00:13:04.93
And the Lord God said,
"Behold, the man is become
00:13:05.13\00:13:07.73
as one of Us, to
know good and evil:
00:13:07.83\00:13:09.94
and now, lest he put forth
his hand, and take also of the
00:13:10.14\00:13:13.42
tree of life, and
eat, and live for ever:
00:13:13.52\00:13:15.49
Therefore the Lord God sent him
forth from the garden of Eden,
00:13:15.69\00:13:19.55
to till the ground
from whence he was taken.
00:13:19.75\00:13:22.73
So he drove out the man;
and he placed at the east of the
00:13:22.93\00:13:26.33
garden of Eden cherubim,
and a flaming sword which turned
00:13:26.43\00:13:30.42
every way, to keep the
way of the tree of life.
00:13:30.52\00:13:33.94
We are reading from the
book of Genesis, and we are
00:13:34.14\00:13:36.38
beginning now in chapter 4.
00:13:36.49\00:13:37.93
This is the King James version.
00:13:38.06\00:13:39.85
And Adam knew Eve his
wife; and she conceived,
00:13:40.05\00:13:44.49
and bare Cain, and said,
00:13:44.59\00:13:46.39
"I have gotten a
man from the Lord. "
00:13:46.59\00:13:49.00
And she again
bare his brother Abel.
00:13:49.20\00:13:52.08
And Abel was a keeper of sheep,
00:13:52.29\00:13:54.98
but Cain was a
tiller of the ground.
00:13:55.08\00:13:57.57
And in process of
time it came to pass,
00:13:57.78\00:14:01.30
that Cain brought of the
fruit of the ground an offering
00:14:01.50\00:14:04.76
unto the Lord. And
Abel, he also brought of the
00:14:04.86\00:14:08.77
firstlings of his
flock and of the fat thereof.
00:14:08.87\00:14:11.62
And the Lord had respect
unto Abel and to his offering:
00:14:11.83\00:14:16.64
But unto Cain and to his
offering He had not respect.
00:14:16.84\00:14:20.89
And Cain was very wroth,
and his countenance fell.
00:14:21.09\00:14:25.07
