Can Science And Faith Tell The Same Story? (Genesis Part 4)
Ever wondered if your faith can survive a physics degree? This Sunday, theoretical physicist Josh Edmundson shared his journey from defending young-earth creationism to discovering a richer understanding of both science and scripture. Through university studies and deepening faith, Josh found that Genesis isn't trying to be a scientific textbook - it's answering much deeper questions about who God is and who we are. Joined by molecular biologist Will Sopwith, the conversation explored how both science and faith require humility, and how bringing your questions to God often leads to deeper understanding rather than doubt. A fresh perspective on the age-old debate of whether science and faith can truly coexist.
Why Genesis Changed Everything We Know About God (Genesis Part 3)
What if everything you thought you knew about God came from centuries of tradition rather than what Genesis actually says? This week, Steve Connolly helped us discover how these ancient texts present a radically different picture of God - one that challenged the beliefs of its time and still challenges ours today. From tackling big questions about science and faith to exploring what it means to trust a God we can't fully understand, we discovered why Genesis isn't just another creation story - it's a revolutionary declaration about who God is and what that means for us today.
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.
