Everyone in the image of God (Phil Sproul)
Phil Sproul shared a message about how everyone is made in the image of God. While we are often confused about the value of people who are different than us, we understand that everyone is loved by God and in need of his salvation. In heaven we will find people from every tribe, nation and language. These truths help us realise how we should live and how we should treat people each day.
