Too long, didn't read. The cost of that is bigger than we think. When you don't know where you came from or why you're here, you start living like life is random, and that quietly drains your purpose, your work, and your relationships. In this Summer of Sermons message, Daron Earlewine opens Genesis chapter one and the first five words of the Bible to show what it means to be created on purpose and for purpose, and how reading Scripture begins to repair the broken reflection we've been living through. TAKEAWAYS: \u26a1\ufe0f The first five words of the Bible, in the beginning God created, reframe your life as designed rather than accidental. \u26a1\ufe0f Humans don't just reproduce their own kind, they uniquely create the future, because we carry the image of God. \u26a1\ufe0f We currently see ourselves through a broken mirror, and engaging Scripture is how the missing pieces get filled back in.
