About this episode
This episode explores the concept of true rest as trusting in God's finished work and the promise of ultimate rest.
God rests on the seventh day, setting a pattern for humanity. True rest is more than stopping work. In this sermon, we see that it is trusting God’s finished work and longing for the ultimate rest He promises. Bible Reading: Genesis 2:1–3 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
