This week, Rachel’s sermon from our Summer Slowdown series makes a case that creativity isn't a talent reserved for a special few, but a core expression of what it means to be made in the image of a God who makes art. This message is an invitation to remember your truest identity: you are God's poema, and you were made to make beautiful things.
