Sunday School Remix: What Does Creation Say About Our Lives?

What if Genesis 1 isn’t just about how the world was made—but about how we’re meant to live within it? In this episode of Sunday School Remix, Pastor Nate explores the deeper structure of the creation story and what it reveals about God, humanity, and the rhythm of life itself. From chaos to order, from constant work to intentional rest, this ancient text speaks directly into our modern, overwhelmed lives.
