WE ARE CREATED TO GLORIFY GOD

Story summary

Greybobby and Betty travel to the town of Candle Valley to search for a local doctor who can tell them what it means to glorify God: Dr. Frankenfinkle. When they get to the town, they find a giant robot causing all sorts of trouble. The robot’s creator is… Dr. Frankenfinkle. Because the giant robot scares them, they assume that Dr. Frankenfinkle is a monster, and are surprised to find that she is actually a meek mouse. They learn that “glorifying” something means to “put it in a good light.” They also learn that just like Dr. Frankenfinkle’s robot made others think poorly of her, our sin makes others think poorly of God.

ROMANS 3:23

...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

JOHN 15:5

I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

What did We Learn?

  • God made everything to bring glory to His name.
  • Sin is not being what God made us to be and not doing what God made us to do.
  • The fall is the curse that fell over the world because of Adam’s sin.

Let's Pray

Dear Heavenly Father, 
Thank You for loving us and forgiving us even when we sin. 
Help us to glorify you in everything we do.
Give us grace when we sin and fail to be and do what you made us to be and do.
In Jesus’ Name we pray,
Amen.
