Dear Church,
Final reminder that our annual church trip to Westcliffe for the bluegrass festival is coming up next week. If you are joining us there, we'll have an abbreviated worship service at the campground on Sunday morning (July 13), but there will be no church service in Englewood.
Our journey through Genesis continues this week. On the podcast, Joe and Tim discuss Genesis 1:24–31, which records the sixth day in which God creates the animals and man. They explore how God created three distinct categories of animals—domesticated cattle, wild beasts, and creeping things. These classifications relate to human experience rather than modern scientific taxonomy. The conversation then turns to the creation of mankind in God’s image, noting that both male and female together reflect God’s nature and are commissioned to have dominion over the earth. They highlight that God's first words to humanity are a blessing and a commission—to be fruitful, multiply, and steward the earth. They conclude by reflecting on the goodness and completeness of creation, urging a reverent and active engagement with the natural world as God’s artwork. Listen to the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
