In this What We Believe message, Pastor Woody Morwood explores God’s creation, the Fall, and the hope of redemption. We unpack Genesis 1–3 to understand God’s original design for life, relationships, and purpose—and how sin brought brokenness, fear, and separation.

Through the story of Adam and Eve and the trials of Job, Pastor Woody shows how God’s sovereignty and grace guide us through suffering, offering a path to restoration. Scripture from Isaiah, Psalms, 2 Corinthians, and Revelation 21 reveals God’s plan to make all things new through Jesus Christ.
Discover how God is at work in your life, your relationships, and the world—even in the midst of chaos—and find hope in His redemptive power
