What does it mean to be an image bearer of God? Today, Vanessa Hawkins joins Karen Hodge to talk about the daily impact being an image bearer has on how we view God, how we view ourselves, and how we view others.
Discussion Questions:
- What does it mean to be created in the image of God?
- How does your view of God fuel your worship?
- How does being an image bearer affect your view of yourself?
- How does image bearing give intrinsic value to ALL people?
- How do we best reflect God?
- What does it mean to think biblically about the term “helper”?
- What is our mission as image bearers? What does that mean in our daily lives?
- How does sin mar both God’s image in us and our mission?
