About this episode
This sermon explores the significance of family as a divine gift and how it reflects God's image through marriage and community.
God declares it is not good for humanity to be alone and establishes family as a gift. In this sermon, we see how through marriage and community, God’s people reflect His image and participate in His unfolding plan. Bible Reading: Genesis 2:4–25 Preacher: Sermon by Grant van der Merwe This episode is part of The Beginning of Everything , a teaching series exploring Genesis 1–11. As we open the Scriptures, we see the beauty of creation, the tragedy of the fall, and God’s unfolding purpose for the world. We encounter the God who creates, provides, judges, and shows mercy—and discover how the beginning helps us make sense of life today. Find out more at cityonahill.com.au/genesis
