Taking God For Granted

(Available in English y español)

What if we’ve misunderstood what it means to “have dominion”?

In this powerful short script, two voices reflect on the awe of creation and the weight of responsibility that comes with it. With stirring passages from Genesis and the unmistakable Voice of God, Taking God for Granted challenges us to honor God not just with words—but with how we care for His creation.

Perfect for Earth Day services, stewardship campaigns, or any time you want to remind your congregation that everything we have is a gift—not to be taken lightly.
