Myth/Abundance
oil on canvas
by Holly Leonard
“Very good” is God’s salute. He creates light, sky, ground and flesh. Look around you, see the blue, the green and this human draped world and behold our Creator! Earth architecture by Jesus. Life breathed by the Holy Spirit. Humanity created in the likeness of our Father God. He sees it too–the greatness and beauty and shouts with joy “Very good, this creation is very good”!
Sermons
Genesis 1:27-28;31
And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”…And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
