Creation, Community, and Creativity | The Wonder of Scripture with Lisa DeLong

What does the Creation story teach us—not just about how the world began, but about how we live, build, and make beauty today? In this Wonder of Scripture lecture, artist and scholar Lisa DeLong explores “Big C” Creation and the “little c” creations that shape our daily lives. From the Book of Moses to medieval images of God with a compass, from temple architecture to handmade pigments gathered in the desert, DeLong shows how divine patterns echo in human creativity. She reflects on: Creation as a dynamic, ongoing relationship between text and reader Agency as a creative principle The importance of beauty in inviting the Spirit The role of proportion, geometry, and divine pattern (including the golden ratio) How community-building, reconciliation, art, and even neighborhood cleanups participate in sacred creation Drawing on scripture, art history, and her own artistic practice, DeLong invites us to see creativity as central to God’s work and glory—and to our own discipleship. If creation is about bringing order, beauty, and life out of raw materials, then every act of faithful making—large or small—matters.
