Stretch Your Creativity and Cognition

Instructor: Dr. Filbert Martin

Genesis 1:1-2 (TLB) reads, “ When God began creating the heavens and the earth, the earth was a shapeless, chaotic mass, with the Spirit of God brooding over the dark vapors.” For many of us, the desire to create is a driving force in our lives. Creatives seek to express and inspire.

The very first two verses in the Bible details an act of creativity and creation. The Lord our God is the superior creator. God fashioned the entire universe out of nothing ness; His creativity breathed us into being. As Jeremiah 10:12 states, “ But our God formed the earth by his power and wisdom, and by his intelligence he hung the stars in space and stretched out the heavens.”

Genesis also reveal to us that God created humanity in His image. The are we not created to be creatives, just like our Lord?

This class will teach the students how creativity and cognition draws us closer to God. Creativity and cognition helps us to center our lives around God’s presence.
