Did God Design Us To Be Environmental Guardians? (Genesis Part 2)
When it comes to environmental issues, Christians often feel caught between denial and despair. But what if Genesis offers a different perspective altogether? In this service, Matt Edmundson explores God's original design for humanity's relationship with creation. Moving beyond both exploitation and nature worship, Genesis reveals how we're called to be guardians rather than owners. Discover what the Hebrew word for "dominion" really means, why God started Adam with just a garden, and how caring for creation isn't just about following trends - it's about living out our basic human calling as stewards of God's good earth.
Finding Life in the Chaos (Genesis Part 1)
Ever felt like everything's chaos? In our first look at Genesis, Jack Mariner unpacks how God doesn't just show up when everything's sorted - He specialises in bringing life from nothing. From those first mysterious words, "the earth was formless and empty," we discover a God who's always moving, always breathing life into situations that seem hopeless. Whether you're starting 2025 full of hope or barely crawling into the new year, this message reminds us that God isn't finished yet. He's still in the business of bringing order from chaos, still creating something beautiful from nothing.
