You may remember the Canon camera commercials that coined the phrase, "Image is Everything." In our image driven culture, one's identity and significance is often sought and found in the image one can create for oneself. However, true significance and satisfaction is only found when we realize that our identity is rooted in our being created in God's image. Listen and see that "image" really is everything in terms of finding our true identity in relationship to God.

It is an amazing thing to watch a masterful artist work on a canvas or sculpture and bring into existence a beautiful work that moves us to awe and admiration. However, no man-made work of art can rival the awesome beauty of a snow-capped mountain, a fire-drenched sunset, or a cascading waterfall. Romans 1 reminds us that all of creation points to the glory of the Creator. God is the Master Artist of all that exists. Listen now and marvel at the amazing power, beauty and purpose of God revealed in his act of creation.

If you've ever arrived at a movie late, you realize how important the first scenes can be to understanding the rest of the story. The book of Genesis is the opening act of God's unfolding story in the bible and it sets the stage for what we find in the remaining pages of Scripture.
