Life Issues in Genesis 2: God Rests, Adam Works & Gets a Helper

In Genesis 2, God rests from creation and Adam gets his first occupation as the caretaker of the garden. His first assignment is to name all of the animals. He then gets a second vocation as husband, when God creates Eve. What does God resting have to do with life issues? What is Sabbath rest anyway? Why does God add rest right next to creation? Did Adam really work before the fall? Join Michelle Bauman and Pastor Goodman as they explore where we find life issues in Genesis 2 including: How work is life-affirming Why God gives us the life-affirming gift of other people The significance of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil And more!
