Neil Ellingson - Like a Boss

Co-Pastor Neil Ellingson sermonizes on Sunday, 7/3/14.

Readings:

Genesis 1:26-28 (Common English Bible)

Then God said, “Let us make humanity in our image to resemble us so that they may take charge of the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, all the earth, and all the crawling things on earth.”

God created humanity

in God’s own image,

in the divine image God created them,

male and female God created them.

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and master it.”

From the Sibylline Oracles:

“The earth will belong equally to all, undivided by walls or fences….Lives will be in common and wealth will have no division. For there will be no poor man there, no rich, and no tyrant, no slave. Further, no one will be either great or small anymore. No kings, no leaders. All will be equal together.”
