Keynote Address

"Co-Creators With God: Tracing God's divine inspiration for creativity at the intersection of heaven and humanity"
From the beginning of the Bible, God invites us to be co-creators with Him. It begins with Adam as God's first coworker. It extends to Bezalel and the first indwelling of the Holy Spirit — a foreshadowing of our coming Savior. Along the way, that creative connection to worship was lost. It was restored through the life of Jesus. We call Him a carpenter, but maybe He was more than that. Let's follow the thread of God's creative calling on our lives and how the work we do today continues to build His temple.
