Work | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Genesis 2:5-17

For most adults, the singular formational activity in which we are engaged is our jobs. Which is probably why our work is so fraught with opportunities for difficulty in life. But Genesis 2 lays out a framework for how God intended for his image bearers to think about their work.

Sermon Points:

  • The Sacredness of Our Work
  • The Danger of Our Work
  • The Goal of Our Work

Creativity | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Genesis 1:1-5

The opening book of the Bible reveals a God who speaks things into being with a majestic artistry that forms the foundation of humanity’s search for what is good, true and beautiful.

Sermon Points:

  • The God of Creativity
  • The Gift of Creativity

Sovereignty | Les Newsom

Scripture Reference: Genesis 1:1

Genesis 1:1 cuts across our present Western context with a clear and radical proposition: there is a God and he is the creator of all things. From that one premise comes the foundation of a Christian view of the world.

Sermon Points:

  • God and the gods
  • God and His Creation
  • Creation and God’s People
