Bible Verse of the Day | Proverbs 3:11-12 | A verse about the way things work (the flow)

Bible Verse of the Day | Proverbs 3:11-12 | A verse about the way things work


Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on this November 29 as we continue our long and wonderful track for the book of proverbs today chapter 3 verses 11 and 12 my child do not despise the Lords discipline or be wary of the Lord reproof, for the Lord reproves, the one, the Lord loves, as a father of the son, and whom the Lord delights This is wonderful. This is talking about that we belong to God that Israel is a son to God eventually personified in Jesus as God‘s son, but that extends to us as children as siblings of Christ we are children as well God delights, and you got the lights in us. We are not to despise the Lord discipline there are ways the world works. I call it the flow. You don’t have to like that term but there’s a way things work if you treat people right they treat you right and return not always they’re not perfect but if you live right rightly, mostly you’re gonna be in good relationship with people and when you’re not well, there are consequences when you do things the wrong way when you are selfish when you’re greedy life turns in a way that’s not good for you. It makes seem good at first but it won’t last that’s the way that it works. We’re always looking for God‘s discipline in the way that we experience consequences and the way that we live our relationship so let’s celebrate the way that God loves us by showing us the way or we might call it the flow.

Bible Verse of the Day | Proverbs 3:9-10 | A verse about abundance


Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford on this November 24 as we relish over Thanksgiving. We’re going to continue with proverbs chapter 3 reading verses, nine and 10 honor the Lord with your substance, and with the first fruits of all your produce, then your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will be bursting with wine honoring the Lord. What a day to be thankful to God about all that we have in our lives this is speaking to the way that we work and produce, and although most of us aren’t farmers, most of us aren’t working with trees, we do produce we do work we do contribute and we receive things for that work, this understanding of giving everything first to God your first fruits and then having plenty having so much that you’re abundant isn’t some promise that will if you give to God God‘s gonna give you way more back rather if you operate in the mindset in the heart set that everything belongs to God and you live out of gratitude being grateful for what you have so grateful that you’re willing to give up the first and maybe it’s 10% like a tie to God you start to learn that what you have is plentywhen we live not in a consumer way, we start to realize that we already have what we need and that what we have is an abundance and when we start to make that change, we find that that change works through our entire lives

Bible Verse of the Day | Proverbs 3:5-6 | A verse about walking in faith


Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on November 20 as we continue our work through the book of Proverbs today we read from chapter 3 verses five through six trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own insight, and all your ways acknowledge the Lord and the Lord will make straight your paths Straight our path refers to not having a hindrance not getting twisted and not getting tripped up. That’s a hard way to live life not hard, obviously easy way to live life but hard to find that way of life because we’re always getting tripped up and even when we think we’re not, even if we think it’s some form of of good church thing to pretend that we don’t get tripped up if we’re really convinced we’re not getting tripped up I think we’re fooling ourselves I don’t think we’re being honest But if we trust and God with all of our heart and not worry about what we think about what’s happening, but try to understand how God may be looking at that that’s a way that we can start to find that straighter path and everything we do if we think about it through God through our gratitude to God through the love and mercy of God we’re gonna find the way that’s going to be more that way that we hope to live this straight path where we’re not getting tripped up the way we learn about the way of God is through the church through each other through having conversation sharing being in relationship, so live your life in the community. Trust God with everything you are.

Bible Verse of the Day | Proverbs 3:3 | A verse about loyalty and faithfulness

Bible Verse of the Day | Proverbs 3:3 | A verse about loyalty and faithfulness


Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford come to you on November 15 as we continue our work or track for the book of Proverbs today we read from chapter 3 verse three do not let loyalty and faithfulness for sake you behind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart These are important, loyalty and faithfulness faithfulness comes from this understanding of trust that we believe we believe so much that our actions follow that belief and loyalty are allegiance is to God alone not anyone not anything else everything we do needs to be founded on the loyalty of God. Trust that what God says things will be. Things are are exactly what they will be in are so much that we actually live accordingly, and to do that we’ve got to remember all the time because we forget there are a lot of voices out there, competing for your loyalty competing for your trust. We must bind the ways of God around our neck right them on our very hearts, because sometimes people will even want your loyalty and faithfulness, and say it’s actually God but it’s not it’s for them it’s for their perspective it’s for their message it’s for their understanding the only way for us to stay true to know is to be reminded to read to stay founded to stay up-to-date to stay, committed to stay loyal and faithful, and all that we do.

Bible Verse of the Day | Proverbs 3:1-2 | A verse about finding life

Bible Verse of the Day | Proverbs 3:1-2 | A verse about finding life


Welcome to Bible verse of the day. I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford, and we are continuing in the book of proverbs today we’re gonna turn to chapter 3 and read the first two verses, and they read my child. Do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments for length of days and years of life and abundant welfare. They will give you, the word for teaching is literally the word for Torah or instruction and so the voice of wisdom is reminding us that what we need we have that doesn’t mean we follow all those rules today because there are many that we don’t and there are many that we’d say no that’s not for today but the whole idea is understand the teachings that commandments the Bible, and the way that it has moved and it’s headed somewhere if we could trace the movement of the way people are treated in the way those laws came to be we see that there’s a trajectory for where God is leading us until one day we arrive at that place that we find in revelation, 21 and 22 or we find at all things are together all people and it’s healing and we’re somewhere on that track if you wanna find life if you want to find a abundance if you wanna know what satisfaction and peace and goodness are, we’re going to find those and studying our faith learning that trajectory, so let us turn to the teaching and commandments to find life

Bible Verse of the Day | Proverbs 1:22-23 | A verse about knowledge

Bible Verse of the Day | Proverbs 1:22-23 | A verse about knowledge


Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you as we work our way through the book of Proverbs today we’re gonna turn to chapter 1 and read verses 22 through verse 23. How long of simple ones were you love being simple, how long will scoffers delight, and their scoffing and fools hate knowledgewisdom is personified and proverbs and we find that person of wisdom asking how long we’re gonna be simple idea of simplicity is that we just take things on the surface without thinking about it and we just make our judgments how often that is the case today you can turn on a different news channel you can talk to different people and they just start talking about information that really they’ve never thought about they’ve never waited or considered other perspectives they’ve never had conversations with people who think differently they just passed along what it is that has been given to them. That’s the opposite of what we’re supposed to do we’re not just regurgitating that which we haven’t even taken time to digest. We aren’t just an echo chamber of other people we’ve been given minds we’ve been given brains and smarts we’ve been given relationships we’ve been given the opportunity to grow, do you hate knowledge you hate learning if so, proverbs says you’re acting foolishly let’s not be simple let’s be people who dig in and think with our God-given brain

Bible Verse of the Day | Proverbs 1:8 | A verse about our home

Bible Verse of the Day | Proverbs 1:8 | A verse about our home


Welcome to Bible verse of the day. I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford, and we are reading in the book of proverbs a book of wisdom collection of writings to help us on our way. Chapter 1 verse eight here, my child, your father’s instruction and do not reject your mother’s teaching, fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, but where it often starts with us is in our home and maybe you had a father and a mother maybe you had one or the other maybe you had them either but I hope you had people in your life to guide you and while they’re not perfect, they are who we are given they are the ones put in in charge of us to love us to show us the way they’ve messed up and they are still learning To They have a lot to learn but what they have learned has been so helpful for us so it’s good for us to think about fearing God, but also respecting in that same vein, our parents are guardians whoever have helped us along the way if we can get that relationship right show appreciation grow into our love, our grace and our mercy for them Then we show that we are already on the path of wisdom while our parents are guardians are not perfect. Let us not reject them. Let us hear what they have to say as a starting place, and let us join in that conversation as we grow and mature, may those relationships that we began with be the ones that CS through the whole way.

Bible Verse of the Day | Proverbs 1:7 | A verse about the fear of the Lord

Bible Verse of the Day | Proverbs 1:7 | A verse about the fear of the Lord


Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you and we are going to start looking at some proverbs proverbs is a great book of wisdom we’re going to begin with chapter 1 verse seven, and it reads the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, fools despise wisdom and instruction This is a commonly quoted verse. The fear of the Lord. Everyone wants to have the fear of the Lord but what is the fear of the Lord mean? Are we supposed to quake and shiver at the thought of God‘s presence? I don’t think that’s what Jesus had in mind I think what Jesus brought to us was the sense of peace and worthiness that only he could provide not that we’d be afraid of God, but what this is speaking to is similar to if you’ve ever stood in front of the roaring ocean, and seen the mightiness of the waves. You’re not afraid of the waves, but you do respect them you do understand their power, not part of what the proverb is getting is fear of the Lord is where you despise evil where are you Long for good because that is the way of Yahweh, and so it makes sense that the fear of the Lord, the beginning of knowledge and the second part is the fools, despise wisdom and instruction, smart people despise evil but the fools despise wisdom and instruction. Let’s be wise, let’s seek the way of the Lord, and let’s read ourselves of any other desire desire.

Bible Verse of the Day | Deuteronomy 6:21b | A verse about going deeper in how we relate to everything

Bible Verse of the Day | Deuteronomy 6:21b | A verse about going deeper in how we relate to everything

Welcome to Bible verse of the day. I am Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on May 22 and we are wrapping up the big 10 from Deuteronomy chapter 6 and so we turn to verse 21 part B neither shall you desire your neighbors house or field or slave, or ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor so we find the verse about not stealing this takes it a step further deeper we shouldn’t even desire to have what belongs to someone else just even desiring it takes us down the wrong path. It starts to break down the respect the honor, and the relationship we have with other people it starts to break down the right relationship we have with stuff. It starts to break down our ability to be grateful for what it is we have because we start to worry about what we don’t or we start to worry about with someone else as we think that maybe we should have it more than them. You can see how this begins to deteriorate things immediately and so let us get to the room out of the matter. Let’s keep our eyes fixed on where they should be.

⁠Bible Verse of the Day⁠ | Deuteronomy 6:21a | A verse about other people's relationships

Welcome to Bible verse of the day. I am Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on May 19 and we are continuing getting close to the end of the big 10 and Deuteronomy so we turned chapter 6 verse 21 part a neither shall you covet your neighbors wife something interesting happens in Deuteronomy here we’re just doing part part a of what we call verse 21. In the Exodus version. This covering verse starts with neighbors property and then lists the elements of property. The wife being included Deuteronomy seems to have taken a step forward it’s written later, but it’s telling the 10 Commandments in a new way suddenly the wife and covering a neighbor’s wife or spouse ends up as its own commandment and so we see a step forward and what a wonderful thing we need to acknowledge. In our scripture there are steps forward we can track them you can even see how Jesus carries it even further Paul even further and today we’re still on that same trajectory. So let’s honor the relationships that are already in place between our neighbors. Let’s honor them for all they are.

Welcome to Bible verse of the day. I am Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on May 17 to continue the commandments from Deuteronomy return to chapter 6 and we read verse 20 and it says neither shall you bear false witness against your neighbor so from peoples bodies to our own body to our stuff and now it’s about reputation. This comes from a scene in a quart room, right bearing false witness that’s got its history there but let’s just talked about what it is. Wine has been dishonest. It’s about representing something that you shouldn’t represent it’s misrepresenting the truth. It’s telling a story that isn’t right it isn’t accurate. Maybe we don’t even know maybe we’re not even sure what the truth is, I think that’s more of our problem. Today is we’re so ready to pass along information and to tell stories into judge without fully knowing, and we presented it as if it is truth, so what does honor our neighbors and their reputation and their story let us not assume that we know better, and if we do know, let’s make sure we tell the truth

Welcome to Bible verse of the day. I am Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on this 15th day of May as we continue working through the Big Ten as Deuteronomy tells them in chapter 6 today we read verse 19 neither shall you steal. All right, so we’ve covered Commandments about God about parents about bodies, other peoples and being intimate with them and now we get beyond bodies to stuff because we are people of stuff no matter where we are and I’ll say it our culture my country were more obsessed with stuff than probably anywhere else on the planet and it’s not a good thing. We forget that everything we have was given to us we haven’t earned anything we often say that I’ve earned everything that I have no you haven’t you were blessed to be given a body to be given a home to be given the things you were given maybe an education maybe the desire may be the opportunity to be able to do what you do to get stuff other people don’t have it that way. Let’s remember that all of our stuff isn’t really ours and let’s remember to regard to the things that people are stewards of as not ours either

⁠Bible Verse of the Day⁠ | Deuteronomy 6:18 | A verse about our own bodies and intimacy

Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on May 12. We’re continuing with the Big Ten the 10 Commandments told and Deuteronomy and we’re continuing in chapter 6 verse 18. Neither shall you commit adultery. We began this list with four commands about how we relate to God and then one about our parents and then we moved to our neighbors just a couple of days ago and now we continue on Committing adultery. That is the most sacred relationship for those of us who are individuals if we’re married that means it’s our significant other if we are single then that means we are thinking about the way we relate to those around us and what is appropriate, and when you relate intimately with someone sexually, it is a different kind of relationship. It implies an involves a vulnerability. You open yourself up to a person you let your guard down and away you don’t do with anybody else we should reserve this kind of commitment for those whom we are married to. This is a sacred relationship in that relationship begins even before we’re married.

Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on the 10th day of the month of May and we’re going to continue with our commandments and Deuteronomy from chapter 6 today we read verse 17 you shall not murder pretty simple commandment, pretty easy to know that there’s there’s no fuzziness around this one is there or maybe there is what is murder some of our translation say you shall not kill us, killing different for murdering what we find is that this specific command reminds us that we are all created in the image of God, and if we treat any person differently than that, then we are ignoring who they are who they were created to be now they may not be the kind of people we think they should be they may be doing terrible things But do they still possess the image of God and that is that for us to say, are we the judge are we determined from that understanding completely to the point where we feel it’s OK to end a life I think it’s pretty clear as the first commandment about how we relate to our neighbors, the answer is no

Honor your father and your mother as the Lord your God commanded you so that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you the family structure in the family place in Deuteronomy was so important all that you did in this honor Shane culture all that you did either brought honor or shame to the name of your parents, your father specifically, and their culture so everything you did reflected upon them, and we are to remember that everything we do reflects upon God because this whole restructuring, and what we experience through Jesus is that we are now in the house of God we belong to the house of God Christ is our brother. This is why we call God father not because gods of man, but because God is the head of the household in this first century structure, and we find this all the way back, and Deuteronomy, so that all that we do bring honor and glory to God

⁠⁠Bible Verse of the Day⁠⁠ | Deuteronomy 6:12 & 15 | A verse about Sabbath and worth


https://10bibleverses.com/bible-verse-of-the-day/ Welcome to Bible verse of the day. I am Reverend Joseph Sanford. It is May 5 and we’re continuing on with the retelling of the 10 Commandments Deuteronomy chapter 6 today verses 12 and verse 15 observe the sabbath day and keep it holy as the Lord your God, commanded, you remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand, and an outstretched arm. Therefore, the Lord your God commanded you to keep the sabbath day. This is the one commandment we are terrible at following. When’s the last time you took a full day every single week and did no work we’re always connected to our work or at home catching up on errands doing anything that we need to do because we have a task list Keeping the sabbath has changed with Jesus and Moses day they have been slaves. Their worth was determined by how many bricks they made they didn’t know how to understand their worth when they weren’t producing so this was a way for them to understand their identities not about what they do what they make what they produce their identity their value their worth is in being human beings God’s children let us remember this truth Message brought to you by Rev.

⁠⁠Bible Verse of the Day⁠⁠ | Deuteronomy 6:11 | A verse about the LORD's name

https://10bibleverses.com/bible-verse-of-the-day/ Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on the third day of May continuing with Deuteronomy chapter 6 the retelling of the 10 Commandments. We’re going to continue with verse 11 you shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord, your God, for the Lord, will not acquit anyone who miss uses the name. We all grew up with an idea of what this commandment was referring to, and frankly what we grew up with, was not correct, was good, not to curse using the name of God, what this means is, we don’t use the name for ourselves or in any other way other than to honor God and so if we think that we’re right about something or what we’re doing as a good and holy thing, we better make sure we know it if we’re going to say that it is God ordained or that God approves it or what we’re doing is in the name or for the love of God People like to use the name of God to further their own well because the name of God brings power it brings authority and if we’re going to assume that we have the right to just decide where God’s authority should be applied we need to be really careful, let us be careful and honorable, with the name of our Lord Message brought to you by Rev.

Can you believe Megan is already here we’re going to continue with this retelling of the 10 Commandments in Deuteronomy chapter 6 verse eight you shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven, above, or that is on the Earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth We’re just gonna sidestep the strain structure, and how they thought the world was constructed with a sky on earth and water underneath, and we’re gonna get right to this idea of idols, similar to not having any other gods, what are the idols that we find ourselves, distracted by worshiping, bowing down to many times its ourselves we become the point to focus to the point where we even create images of ourselves for different groups of people don’t worry you’re one version of yourself in front of people at church. You’re a different version of yourself in front of your friends. You’re another version of yourself in front of your significant other or your parents and I wonder why are we crafting any images? Another lots of other images we can spend time on, but let’s start with ourselves.

Bible Verse of the Day | Deuteronomy 6:6-7 | A verse of the first "commandment"

⁠⁠Bible Verse of the Day⁠⁠ | Deuteronomy 6:6-7 | A verse of the first "commandment"

Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford. It is April twenty eighth and we’re gonna spend some time in the book of Deuteronomy and everyone said ye right we’re gonna start with chapter six verses six through seven. I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt out of the house of slavery you shall have no other gods before me. This is the beginning the retelling of the 10 Commandments as we have come to know them there are 613 Commandments but these of the 10 Moses received Deuteronomy presents them with some slight twists. We’re not gonna focus on that so much but let’s start with that God is the savior of the rescue or the redeemer. God is in charge God is all powerful. God is God we should have no other gods before God, and one very few of us find attempting to worship other gods there are other things that we do worship in gods making it clear there are other things you can give your attention to that you can even devote yourself to and way, but it better not come ahead of me, so where is it in your life that it’s time to revisit who is number one

Bible Verse of the Day | Matthew 28:19-20 | A verse about spreading the good news

Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford. It is April 26 and we’re gonna turn to the very last verses of the gospel. We call Matthew and the 28th chapter hero 19 through 20. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the father, and of the son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you and remember I am with you always to the end of the age is final instructions are a transition. For the disciples, they’re not following Jesus anymore they’re not gonna be together in one place they are now to go and spread the good news in this word for baptize our sacrament is amazing symbolizing rebirth in our membership in the church, but the word baptizing, it means soak to soak them in the name of the father and of the son of the holy spirit. What would it look like if we lived our lives in such a way that people felt soaked by the way of Jesus Christ, that we obeyed all the commandments that we lived as he instructed and we remembered at all times he is always with us.

⁠⁠Bible Verse of the Day⁠⁠ | Romans 12:2 | A verse about God's will for us

Welcome to Bible verse of the day. I am Reverend Joseph Sanford. It is April 24 and we’re going to turn to a letter that Paul wrote. We call it Romans we’re going to turn to chapter 12 and we’re going to hear from verse two do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind so that you may discern what is the will of God what is good and acceptable and perfect. Paul is calling out to the people who are struggling to get along. it’s a group of Jewish Christians and a group of Gentile Christians and they don’t mix well. We can identify with division among the ranks can’t wait. Paul is saying look you all are fighting the same fight that’s being fought everywhere don’t be like that we know exactly what Paul saying everywhere we look there are people divided and it seems to just be getting worse doesn’t it we’re tired of it, and if we’re honest, sometimes we’re joining in. Paul would say look it’s hard it’s hard when you don’t agree when you don’t get along, but it’s the worlds way to turn against one another to be divided into be opponents of one another it’s an entirely different way when it comes to the world of God.

Bible Verse of the Day | Hebrews 11:1 | A verse about faith

Bible Verse of the Day | Hebrews 11:1 | A verse about faith

⁠⁠Bible Verse of the Day⁠⁠ | Hebrews 11:1 | A verse about faith

Welcome to Bible verse of the day. I am Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on the 21st day of April and we’re going to turn to the letter that we call Hebrews. We’re going to read from chapter 11 we’re gonna start at verse one now faith is the assurance of things hoped, for the conviction of things not seen we struggle with faith. Faith is not the things that we know about the things we can see and have evidence for faith lies beyond that and that’s hard. We are empirical people we want to see the facts we want to see the evidence we want to know something is there for our foot to land on before we take the step but often times God is leading us and teaching us by showing us may be the next step but often times just calling us to step into trust and I don’t know where you might be feeling that calling today maybe it’s to connect with someone maybe it’s to address the situation maybe you’re thinking about a movie a big change maybe you’re thinking about a relationship an opportunity something is before you look for signs sure but it is gonna come down to faith, so let us put our faith in God.

Bible Verse of the Day | Proverbs 3:7-8 | A verse about relying on God

⁠⁠Bible Verse of the Day⁠⁠ | Proverbs 3:7-8 | A verse about relying on God

Welcome to Bible verse of the day I’m Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on April 19. We’re going to turn back to Proverbs and continue in chapter 3 today we’re going to read both verses seven through eight do not be wise in your own eyes. Fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. It will be a healing for your flesh and a refreshment for your body. We often have this strange thing about wisdom, the more we think we know the less wise that we are seem to be by others, but the more we acknowledge, we don’t know the more wisdom we are sad to have. Why do we get so caught up in thinking we know it that we’re so smart that we’re so right so wise what does it really gain us? Have we perhaps receive our reward when people think we’re smart Maybe we should look to God fear the Lord this respect it’s like standing in front of an ocean standing in front of a powerful animal that can easily trample you. It’s not a fear to be afraid and scared and running and shivering. It’s a fear of respect. We should respect the Lord, and realize the power before us, and then rely on it.

Bible Verse of the Day | Proverbs 3:5-6 | A verse about finding Life

⁠⁠Bible Verse of the Day⁠⁠ | Proverbs 3:5-6 | A verse about finding Life Welcome to Bible verse of the day. I am Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on Monday, April 17 and we’re gonna turn to the book of proverbs to the third chapter read read verses five and six and they read trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own insight and all your ways acknowledge him and he will make straight your paths. We often think that trust in God it’s just something we do on one day a week or maybe one hour on one day a week or maybe we just trust God when we’re in trouble and we don’t know what else to do, but our paths they are wind either up and down their trouble because we’re human and that’s what we do is Proverbs lifting up that if we just trust in God and every step of the way, even the little things we find that our paths will be straight. It doesn’t mean they’re going to be easy not at all, but it does mean we’re gonna be lead in the way of life because that’s what God wants for you, and for every person who walks this planet, and we learn and grow, and understand what it means to follow in the footsteps of God if we would just trust and acknowledge God, in all we do, we would find life.

Bible Verse of the Day | Genesis 1:27 | A verse about Divine Image

⁠⁠Bible Verse of the Day⁠⁠ | Genesis 1:27 | A verse about Divine Image
Welcome to Bible verse of the day. I am Reverend Joseph Sanford and it is April 14. We’re going to continue with Genesis chapter 1 today. We read 26 a few days ago and now we’re going to read verse 27 so God created humans and God‘s image in the image of God, they were created, male and female God created them This beautiful triplet gives us a source of sense and idea of God’s identity, and how both male and female is how all genders all people are made up of the image of God. God is both. It’s the same phrase repeated three times God created people in the image of God people were created, male and female. God created people because male and female is the image of God and that may not be what we have grown up with. It all comes from God and we are all a part of the image of God. We are all created equally we are all created in God’s likeness. We are all carrying the image of God. The dignity of God is with us also. Let us turn to one another and treat each other accordingly.

⁠⁠Bible Verse of the Day⁠⁠ | Genesis 1:26 | A verse about our purpose Welcome to Bible verse of the day. I am Reverend Joseph Sanford coming to you on April 12 is beautiful Wednesday and we’re going to go back to the beginning genesis one and we’re going to go to verse 26 and it reads and God said what us make humans in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the Earth, God speaks things into existence. This comes on day six of creation, and God is constructing a cosmic temple and I know that may sound weird, but that’s what this is a Temple’s being constructed it it is modeled after the creation of the tabernacle in the last part of exodus in the final piece once everything‘s been created as for the image of God to be placed like an image is placed a statue in a temple. We are the image of God we are to have dominion to take charge to be stewards over the earth and all the things in it we are to treat them as God would treat them. We are to be creators with God and this is our purpose. Message brought to you by Rev.
