Bearing the Image of God

4/25/2021

 
  • The young men in 2 Kings 2:23-25 taunted Elisha for being bald. So here's a question that's meant to be light-hearted and acknowledges that the struggle is real. How's your hairline doing?
  • In what ways have you experienced or have you seen the scorn, ridicule, or mocking of someone else?
  • Read Genesis 1:26-31.
  • How would you describe what it means to be made in the image of God? 
  • What does it mean that we are to "rule," "subdue," or "have dominion"? How does being made in the image of God connect to this?
  • Notice that "male and female" together bear the image of God. What does this tell us about God's intentions for the equal partnership between men and women?
  • In what ways does bearing the image of God differentiate us from other living creatures spiritually, intellectually, relationally, behaviorally?
  • What do we need to do to provide a safe place in the Church where we are all honoring the image of God in each person and are bearing the burdens of others more thoughtfully?
  • ​Read James 3:7-12.
  • James 3:9 directly connects us with Gen 1:26. Why does James bring this up in the context of taming our tongue?
  • Why do you think it is impossible for us to tame our tongue (v8)?
  • Under what circumstances are you most likely to let your tongue harm yourself or others?
  • What can we do in those moments to help us use our words to help, rather than harm, others?

About Us
First Covenant Church is part of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC), which is a rapidly growing multi-ethnic denomination in the United States and Canada, with ministries on five continents of the world. Founded in 1885 by Swedish immigrants, the ECC values the Bible as the word of God, the gift of God's grace, and an ever-deepening spiritual life that comes through faith with Jesus Christ. We value the importance of extending God's love and compassion to a hurting world, and the strength that comes from unity within diversity. ​
