In His Image

Jan. 12, 2015 Monday Message:

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, to be like us.” Gen. 1:26 NLT

Our God is a creator, with the unique power to make something out of nothing. He created the heavens and the earth, the plants and the animals, and finally, mankind.

If you follow God’s trend, it’s always towards increase, not decrease. God creates more and more, which always looks better and better to us.

You don’t read in the Bible that one of God’s creations was a bad idea, so He zapped it off the planet. God’s ideas are always good ideas, and our God of abundance shares with us, human beings made in His image.

This coming Sunday, many churches will be celebrating Sanctity of Life, where we honor all the lives our God has created. It’s a good day to thank your creator for creating YOU!

Blessings - see you at church!

This Sunday, Jesus in the City Fellowship (JICF) is having a big worship celebration. All the people blessed through Christmas in the City are invited, as well as those who sponsored them. We’re giving rides – let us know! It’s also Sanctity of Life Sunday, and Christian songwriter Bruce Underhill will honor us with an original composition. Dan Pilla is speaking. It should be an awesome day! We gather at 10 a.m. in the North end (gym) of the Oliver Ministry Building, 2647 Bloomington Ave., Minneapolis.

Special note: On Feb. 1, we’ll be combining our worship service with Victory Christian Church, 3500 E. Lake Street, Minneapolis, 55406. So our service will be in their building that week. It’ll be a great day – we always go “all out” when worshiping with our Christian brothers and sisters. Mark your calendars!
