Eden Was a Temple (and So Are You) | God’s Presence in Everyday Life | Genesis 1–2

What if the ordinary parts of your life are actually the most sacred?In Week 2 of Find Your Place in God’s Story, Ted Coniaris takes us back to Genesis to rediscover what it means to be human—and why your life matters more than you think.From the opening chapters of Scripture, we see that humanity was created in the image of God with a clear purpose: to create, cultivate, and carry God’s presence into the world. But this calling isn’t just about the beginning of the story—it continues today.Through Jesus, what was lost in Eden is being restored. And according to 1 Corinthians 3:16, we are now the temple of the living God.That means: Your work matters  Your relationships matter  Your everyday life is part of God’s mission This message challenges the idea that faith is confined to Sundays and invites you to see your entire life as sacred ground.Key Scripture: Genesis 1:26–28; Genesis 2:10–15; 1 Corinthians 3:16 Big Idea: Creation is part of God’s mission, and we are called to steward it by creating, cultivating, and carrying His presence into the world.
