Made to Rest

Did God create us to be this busy and stressed out?

Cameron Woodring • Genesis 1, Genesis 2, Matthew 11:28

Do you wish you were less busy?
Do you feel irritable or hypersensitive?
Do you feel emotionally numb?
Is having our schedules full of good things actually a good thing?
Well....let's go back to the beginning to see how God designed us.

In creation we see God make rest a priority, and then tells and equips us to do the same.

The Flood

October 30, 2022 • Cameron Woodring • Genesis 6, Genesis 7, Colossians 1:15–20, Hebrews 1:1–3, 1 Peter 3:21

In Genesis 6.6 God says that he regrets making man. In Genesis 6.7 God says that he is going to destroy the world. But as we look at this story we find a few things: 1) God cares about you deeply. 2) God will let you go if you want. 3) God has provided a way out of the chaos.

Cain & Abel

October 23, 2022 • Cameron Woodring • Genesis 4, Hebrews 11, Proverbs 3:5–10

You can only get to where God is taking you by stepping out in faith. And in this journey you will mess up. What you do after you mess up is of upmost importance. Satan licks his chops in this moment, while God tells you to lift up your face and keep moving towards what He has for you.
