You don’t lose everything in one dramatic moment. You lose it with one quiet reach for what God told you to leave alone.
In Week 5 of our Genesis series “In the Beginning,” Pastor Douglas Humphrey walks through Genesis 2:4–17 and unpacks three ways to flourish within God’s design: recognize God formed you for a place and a purpose, embrace your work as worship, and obey God’s boundaries because they protect what His hands have provided.
Adam didn’t fall in a dark alley. He fell in the garden. In the presence of God. Surrounded by everything he could ever need. Which means proximity to blessing doesn’t make you immune to temptation.
This sermon will challenge how you see your job, your relationships, your restlessness, and the boundaries you’ve been resenting.
🔹 Three ways to flourish within God’s design
🔹 Why the desire to leave may be disobedience dressed as drive
🔹 Work was never a result of the fall — it was always a calling
🔹 The boundary you resent most may be the one protecting you most
