This Sunday we continue our series on Genesis and engage in the deep truths found in Genesis 2, especially the fact that God is a personal creator who sustains us and that we are meant to image God to the world around us as both male and female, united as his royal priests.

Discussion Questions for this Message:

1. Take some time to reflect on the key images of dust & breath found in Genesis 2:7 and their application to all of humanity. What does it mean for us that we are all dust (mortal & frail) and yet are created and sustained by the breath of a personal God?

2. The first time we encounter something “not good” in the creation story is God’s declaration that it is not good for humans to be alone. In what ways are we experiencing loneliness or isolation in our community and how can we come together to alleviate this problem?

3. The phrase “suitable helper” to describe the woman God created can often be misconstrued and misapplied. How does it change our understanding of the role both males and females play in capturing and living out the full image of God when we realize the word “helper” is most often used to speak of God himself in his relationship to Israel? What are some ways we can ensure the full image of God and the priestly calling of all believers, male and female, is practiced in our community?
