Sermon Discussion & Study ?s - October 11 Sermon

ICE BREAKER: Tell us two or three things that make you distinctly you.
 
SERMON DIGESTION: Your chance to give your thoughts on the sermon.

• How did the sermon personally impact you?
• How were you encouraged, challenged, inspired?

 
DISCUSSION:
 
In what ways should Genesis 1 lead us to view God as King?
 
How are humans like God and unlike animals?
 
READ Genesis 1:26-31.
 
Think about all the different kinds of people you encounter.

• Why should we view each human as unique and valuable? 
• How and why are these standards under attack today?
• What attitudes toward others need to be changed in you?

 
What instructions does God give humanity in 1:26-28?

• What do these instructions imply about how humans are to relate to God?
• Why is a positive attitude toward taking responsibility essential to glorifying God?
• How and why is this value under attack today?
• What responsibilities have you been given that you need to face up to? Asking this question is being authentically human. How do you need God’s help for new steps?

 
READ Hebrews 2:6-9. We have failed to rule as God designed, but what has Jesus Christ done to be crowned with glory and honor? How does this impact us and our image bearing on earth?

Close in prayers of apology and asking for grace to live according to God's plan.
