Why Creation Sabbath?

Of course, every Sabbath would be a great time to praise our Creator God, but let’s especially praise God as Creator and find assurance from His acts of creation during the October 24, 2009 worship service.

By designating this day as Creation Sabbath, we are “acknowledging God as our Creator and the implications that this biblical teaching has for us . . . . to create a worldwide sense of unity in promoting this belief in a positive light.”

Because millions acknowledge and subscribe to Darwin as the father of the theory of evolution in this 200th year anniversary of his birth, let’s place God as the center of the universe in our churches and communities.

You are invited to join the Seventh-day Adventist churches worldwide in proclaiming Sabbath, October 24, 2009, as Creation Sabbath. We recognize that this exact date to hold a Creation Sabbath celebration may not work for all congregations; therefore, we suggest you choose a date that will work for your congregation.

Genesis 1:1 - we meet God, our Creator.

Genesis 3:1-24 - we are told about the entrance of sin. As discouraging as the description of this opening of the doorway to sin may be, we thank God that it does not end there.

Revelation 22:20, 21 - we read about a desire from God’s people (that’s us—praise our God!) and a promise from Jesus Christ:

“He who testifies to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming soon.’

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.”

Together, we can create a sense of unity by promoting this marvelous, incomprehensible truth and thus make October 24, 2009 a day when we publicly celebrate God as our Creator and thank Him for giving us life and eternity to continue our praise to Him.
