Meaningful Conversation Starters
- What beauty do you see in the world?
- How does knowing God created the world give you purpose?
- What does it mean to you to be created by God?
Message
This week we begin a new unit called The Far Greater Story. We are teaching the kids the components of a biblical worldview and how it shapes our values, decisions, and behaviors. This week we are talking about Creation and how being made by God and in His image is the anchor upon which our dignity and purpose rest.
Verse
"So God created human beings in his own image. In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."~ Genesis 1:27 (NLT)
The Bible begins by telling us that God created the world and everything in it, and that he made every human being in His image. All people were made in the image of a good, holy, and loving God. We want Lightgliders to know that understanding this truth has incredible implications. Because of it, we have reason to respect ourselves and everyone else. We can live knowing that our lives matter. We can seek to reflect the One in whose image we are made by being a vessel of creativity, beauty, goodness, and love.
