Back to the Breath: Where Life with God Begins

God formed us from dust, and filled us with His breath.
In this message, we explore Genesis 2, where the creation story slows down and zooms in—not just on what God made, but how He made us. We see a God who shapes with care, breathes with purpose, and invites us to live fully alive in His presence.
Our world tells us freedom means doing whatever we want. But this passage reminds us that freedom isn’t found in independence—it’s found in intimacy with our Creator. We were made to live within God’s design, not outside of it.
Zach invites us to consider what it means to be human: not random or accidental, but intentionally created to bear God’s image and carry His Spirit. Genesis 2 shows us a world where God speaks, and life responds. Where beauty isn’t hidden—but often missed in the rush. And where our true identity is found not in performance, but in proximity to God.
We reflect on questions woven into the heart of creation:
• What kind of world are we living in?
• What’s our place in it?
• And what does it mean to be fully human?

You are not just made from the earth, you are animated by the breath of God.
That truth reframes everything.
