Proverbs 18:24

My son is one of those this morning so I preach with a little extra anxiety. -- Cannon's 4 and it's amazing at this age how quickly and easy these kids make friends.

Gen. 1-2 we learn how God has wired us. The Bible says after God made the first man, Adam, that he said ''it is not good for man to be alone.''
Imago Dei- Genesis actually teaches we are made in God's image. We are made to resemble and represent God. We learn in the Bible that God is a Trinity. The Father, Son, and Holy Sp ...
