The Awe of Creation: Experiencing Wonder and Purpose

In this week’s message, Mark explores how a truly beautiful life begins with a right relationship to creation. Drawing on Romans 1:20 and Psalm 19, he contrasts the biblical vision—where the world reveals God’s power and invites awe—with our secular habit of seeing the world as mere “stuff” to exploit. From McCubbin’s Lost to Brack’s Collins St, 5pm, Mark traces how our posture toward nature and the city has shifted, often dulling wonder and weakening faith.

Mark then offers a practical, hope-filled reset: receive the world as a gift, embrace the limits of creation as engines of holiness, and practice attentiveness and gratitude in the ordinary—learning to look up, notice, and worship. As image-bearers and stewards, we’re called not to conform to the “age,” but to cultivate God’s beautiful order in the very places we live, work, and walk.
