Foundations of Faith: The Seventh Day, Creation, and the Need for Context
In this episode of Justified Radio, David Sally and Phil Whittemore explore the transition from Genesis 1 to Genesis 2, emphasizing the seamless flow of creation's completion and the institution of the Sabbath.

They also explain the theological significance of the Sabbath as a model of rest, worship, and reflection, pointing out the broader effects of sin on all creation and the eventual restoration promised through Christ.

It’s a rich conversation on living well, dying well, and being truly at home with the Lord.
