What an awesome marvel it is that God gave humanity a role to play in his work. We are not supposed to lay back and coast and just consume all this stuff, nor are we supposed to condemn the world and the good God put in it. We are supposed to craft it. To work. And God gave the woman to the man to help him in that task. Genesis 2:18-25 , October 26th 2025

Genesis 17:8-27

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

Text:  Genesis 2:4-17   God's Providential Design in Creating All Things (Genesis 2:4-7) The generations of the heaven and the earth refer to the God's creation of man and woman. God's name (Yahweh-Elohim) declares Him as both Creator and Covenant-Redeemer. God created a perfect setting for man to live and breathes His life into him.   God's Providential Design in Creating Us to Work (Genesis 2:8-17) God placed man in the Garden of Eden with abundant provision and beauty. God created man with a responsibility to work and keep the Garden of Eden. God commanded Adam to abstain from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil to establish His good authority.

Many struggle to find meaning in the work that they do. A job can feel purposeless, or become simply a way to survive and pay the bills. But in the first two chapters of Genesis, we see a description of work that will both challenge our misconceptions and give us renewed purpose.

Preacher: Aaron MenikoffTitle: Good WorkSeries: The Gospel for Life: Two Sermons on Work & LeisurePassage: Genesis 2:15

Big Idea: Shape up your worldview! God ceased work on the 7th day as a blessing for mankind.

Pastor Luke Simmons demonstrates that work is part of God's design for us and offers four dangers to avoid. ARTICLES MENTIONED:8 Motivations for Work: https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/articles/8-motivations-for-work25 Ways to Imitate God in Work: https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/articles/25-ways-to-imitate-god-in-work00:00 - Introduction04:59 - Genesis 1:2806:39 - Genesis 2:1509:06 - 3 Lessons from Gen 1-215:26 - Danger #1: Work as Optional16:18 - Danger #2: Work as Bummer18:42 - Danger #3: Work as Dictator26:20 - Danger #4: Work as Identity**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/redemption.gateway WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Sermon on Genesis 4:1-16 titled The Curse At Work. It was preached by Pastor Brian Hough on December 10th 2023 at Manhattan Presbyterian Church (PCA) in Manhattan, Kansas. You can learn more at ManhattanPres.com

Genesis 3 shows us the impact of sin on work. As we saw last week, work was once a delight, but now it can feel like drudgery and duty. Gen 11 shows us that instead of looking to God, human beings seek an identity from what they build, what they do with their hands. This sermon will not only explore the impact of sin and the fall on work, but also explore how work can be healed by the gospel.

God placed humankind in the Garden of Eden to work itand take care of it (Genesis 2v15). Interestingly, the words “work” and “care” are often used in the bible to describe the priest's service to God in tabernacle worship.. The point Genesis is making, then, is that in Eden the function of tending the Garden was itself an act of worship and service to God. All work, therefore, matters to God and is one of the ways we can reflect God as image bearers, engaging in creative work that stewards and multiplies resources for the flourishing andadvancement of the human community.

God created us to work. It was part of His good and perfect design for humanity (Genesis 2:15). However, because of sin, work is now under the curse and is not what God intended it to be. Timothy “TA” Ateek walks us through the effects of the curse on our work in Genesis 3:17-19 and the ways we can still glorify God through our jobs in Colossians 3:22-24.
