Genesis 1-3: Creation (Invisible Touch)

Genesis 1-3: Creation (Book 1 of the Invisible Touch Series) is adapted from sixteen sermons preached at the Reformed Baptist Church of Northern Colorado. This is the first volume in a multi-part series on Genesis. Douglas Van Dorn invites readers to approach the opening chapters of the Bible with fresh humility and awe.Genesis 1–3 is far more than an ancient origin account or a battleground for science debates. It is a breathtaking temple liturgy, a supernatural declaration of Yahweh’s unchallenged kingship over creation, and the opening act of redemptive history. Through careful attention to the Hebrew text, ancient Near Eastern context, and the Bible’s own inner commentary, Van Dorn uncovers a unified story: God fashions a cosmic mountain-garden sanctuary, enthrones Himself on the seventh day, places humanity as vice-regents in the divine council, and—when rebellion fractures that order—immediately promises a coming Seed who will crush the serpent and restore paradise.From the hovering Spirit and the shining nachash (serpent-seraphim) to the covenant of works, the enmity of the seeds, and the gracious covering of animal skins, every detail points forward to Christ—the true Image, the obedient Second Adam, the pierced side from which the church is born, and the one who re-opens the way to the Tree of Life.Written with pastoral warmth and theological depth, Invisible Touch equips believers to read Genesis as Scripture intends: not as myth or science textbook, but as the living Word that reveals the invisible God, confronts modern madness, and calls us to worship the enthroned Creator who became flesh to redeem His fallen temple.Perfect for serious Bible students, pastors, and anyone longing to recover the supernatural worldview of the early chapters of Scripture.
