God’s Design for Human Flourishing Part 1: Work and Rest
What does it look like to live a flourishing life in a world that never stops working? In this sermon from Genesis 1–2, Jared Richard shows how God designed humanity to reflect Him through faithful work and joyful rest. Sin has broken this rhythm, but through the finished work of Jesus, we can stop striving for identity and learn to work from a place of true spiritual rest. Christ alone provides the rest our souls were made for, freeing us to work and rest as acts of worship.
