Week 2 - Made in His Image: Participation & Purpose

This sermon explores the theological concept of humanity being created in the image of God, contrasting it with Ancient Near Eastern beliefs where only kings held this status. Pastor Maggie outlines four key aspects of bearing God's image: our role as co-rulers and co-creators, our inherent worth and identity, our function as God's representatives on Earth, and our designed capacity for relationship with Him. She addresses the impact of sin on this image and emphasizes Jesus Christ as the perfect image of God through whom humanity is being restored by the Holy Spirit, ultimately calling readers to live out their divine purpose.
