Listen "The Glory and Groaning in Creation"
Episode Synopsis
Pastor Aaron McRae invites us to step into the story of God’s creation — not as distant observers, but as participants in His masterpiece.From “In the beginning…” to “It was very good,” Scripture reveals a God who brings order out of chaos, light out of darkness, and life out of nothing. Humanity, created in His image, is the crown of creation — made for relationship, purpose, and worship.But the story doesn’t stop there. Through rebellion came brokenness… and through covenant came redemption. From Genesis to Jesus, we discover that our true identity and purpose are not achieved but received — found only in our Creator.The creation story invites us to discover our true identity and purpose by looking to our Creator, not ourselves, and seeking His will and not just our ways.📚 Resources MentionedThe Soul of Desire – Curt ThompsonCounterfeit Gods – Timothy KellerSecular Creed – Rebecca McLaughlinThe Bible Project – “Genesis Overview”✝️ Scriptures ReferencedGenesis 1–3 – Creation & RebellionPsalm 148 – All creation praises the LordRomans 8:22–23 – Creation groans, awaiting renewalGenesis 12:1–3 – God’s covenant with AbramColossians 1:15–16 – Christ, the image of the invisible GodEphesians 2:8–10 – Created in Christ for good worksFor the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel.
