About this episode

This episode explores the biblical perspective on work as part of God's good design and its role in the flourishing of creation.

Work was God’s good design long before the fall. Created to cultivate and steward creation together, our work reflects God’s character. In this sermon, we see how our work contributes to the flourishing of the world He made. Bible Reading: Genesis 1:1–31; 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
