In Week 2 of our "Finished" series, we look at the beauty of God's finished work in creation. From Genesis 2:1-3 to Colossians 1:15-20, we see that God's work is complete, sufficient, and a gift to us. Yet, so often, we live as though we have to keep striving. The good news? Jesus' finished work in creation is an invitation to rest. Join us as we discover how true rest comes not from what we do but from trusting in what God has already done.For more information about Integrity Church, visit our website, http://liveintegritychurch.org Connect with us on social media throughout the week to stay up to date on events and things happening at Integrity!

This audio recording captures a church service led by Jim West, focusing on a detailed exposition of Genesis 2:4-14. The sermon centers on the creation of man and the Garden of Eden, addressing the common scholarly perspective that Genesis 2 presents a separate creation narrative from Genesis 1. Pastor West refutes this idea, arguing instead that Genesis 2 offers a more specific, personal account focusing on God's relationship with humanity, complementing the broader scope of Genesis 1. He highlights the significance of humans being formed from dust yet imbued with God's life-giving breath, emphasizing their dependence on God. Finally, the message explores the beauty and provision within the Garden of Eden as a reflection of God's love and a foreshadowing of the eternal home believers anticipate Support the showThanks for listening!

Message #4 by Pastor Doug Corlew--"In The Beginning" (Genesis 1-11) Sermon Series
In a world that glorifies limitlessness, we find ourselves overwhelmed by endless information, constant connectivity, and the pressure to do it all. But what if the problem isn't that we have limits—what if the problem is that we keep resisting them? In Genesis 2 & 3, we are reminded that true freedom isn't found in limitlessness, but in trusting the One who designed us with limits for our good.Catch the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.Support the show
Scripture: Genesis 2:18-25 Key Takeaways: + Marriage is a good gift from God. + Marriage is designed for companionship and partnership “…not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved.” – Matthew Henry + Marriage is designed for permanence and exclusivity “So, in the one-flesh union of marriage, all the boundaries between a man and a woman fall away, and the married couple comes together completely, as long as they both shall live. In real terms, two selfish me's start learning to think like one unified us, building a new life together with one total everything: one story, one purpose, one reputation, one bed, one suffering, one budget, one family, and so forth. Marriage removes all barriers and replaces them with a comprehensive oneness. It is this all-encompassing unity that sets marriage apart as marriage, more profound than even the most intense friendship. – Ray Ortlund, Marriage and the Mystery of the Gospel. + Marriage is designed for vulnerability and security + Marriage is meaningful but not ultimate Ephesians 5:31-33
Before the fall, before sin entered the world, God established a covenant with Adam in the Garden of Eden—the Covenant of Works. What was this covenant? Why did God give Adam a command? And what does it mean for us today?In this sermon from Genesis 2:9, 15-17, we explore:✅ God's authority and Adam's responsibility✅ The meaning of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil✅ How Adam's failure brought sin and death to all humanity✅ Why Jesus, the second Adam, is our only hopeUnderstanding the Covenant of Works is essential for understanding the gospel. While Adam failed, Christ perfectly obeyed—fulfilling what Adam could not and securing salvation for all who trust in Him.#Genesis #CovenantOfWorks #AdamAndEve #BiblicalTeaching #Gospel #JesusIsLord
This audio recording captures a church sermon delivered by Jim West on March 23, 2025, focusing on the biblical concept of the seventh day of creation in Genesis. West emphasizes the unique nature of the seventh day as a day of God's rest, highlighting its significance through repetition in the text and its distinction from the other creation days. He connects this idea to the Fourth Commandment to observe the Sabbath, explaining its dual purpose of remembering God as both creator and redeemer, referencing both Exodus and Deuteronomy. Furthermore, the sermon explores the contemporary struggle to find rest, contrasting it with the cultural obsession with busyness and production. Ultimately, West posits that true rest for the soul is found not in inactivity but in actively coming to and trusting in Jesus Christ, aligning one's life with Him, and ceasing from self-reliance.Support the showThanks for listening!

Genesis 2 - Pastor John Wilkerson - 2025 Servants' Conference - Wednesday Morning, March 19, 2025 by First Baptist Church of Hammond
The breakdown of our world was a direct result of the breakdown of the family - the very first family, that is. In this message, we look at God's original mandate given to Adam and Eve pertaining their complementary design and purpose in reflecting the full image of God. We see how both were made in equality, yet given unique responsibilities, for the good of each other and the Kingdom of God. A failure to meet those responsibilities is what caused the first of many dominos to fall in the world, leading to the disorder we still feel today. Listen as we discuss all of this and more - including a quick mention of dinosaurs and some concluding thoughts on God's promise to clean up the mess we had made.
Scripture: Genesis 2:4-17 Key Takeaways: + Work is a good gift from God. “Let the Church remember this: that every maker and worker is called to serve God in his profession or trade—not outside it. The Apostles complained rightly when they said it was not meet they should leave the word of God and serve tables; their vocation was to preach the word. But the person whose vocation it is to prepare the meals beautifully might with equal justice protest: It is not meet for us to leave the service of our tables to preach the word.” – Dorothy Sayers, “Why Work?” + Work is to be done for God and for his glory. Ephesians 6:5–8 + Good work that glorifies God is ethical work. + Good work that glorifies God is excellent work. "The Church's approach to an intelligent carpenter is usually confined to exhorting him not to be drunk and disorderly in his leisure hours, and to come to church on Sundays. What the Church should be telling him is this: that the very first demand that his religion makes upon him is that he should make good tables. Church by all means, and decent forms of amusement, certainly – but what use is all that if in the very center of his life and occupation he is insulting God with bad carpentry?” – Dorothy Sayers, “Why Work?” “The Christian shoemaker does his duty not by putting little crosses on the shoes, but by making good shoes, because God is interested in good craftsmanship.” – Martin Luther Exodus 31:1–5 Proverbs 22:29 + Work is how we partner with God in his care of the world. “God Himself will milk the cows through him whose vocation that is.” – Martin Luther + Our identity is to be found in Jesus and his work, not ours. “If our identity is in our work, rather than Christ, success will go to our heads, and failure will go to our hearts.” – Tim Keller

Scripture: Genesis 2:1-3 Key Takeaways: Proverbs 26:15 + SHABBAT = Sabbath Isaiah 40:28 + God created this world and put us in for: - His good pleasure - His glory Exodus 20:8-10 + Sabbath Keeping: Principle vs Rule - As Christ followers are we required to keep the Sabbath as a rule?

How does this biblical principle shape the way we view marriage, commitment, and God's design for relationships?
