In our October 19 Sunday gathering, we continue our series about what Christians believe and what the Bible is all about. This week's discussion questions are below:

What stood out to you from this message about what it means to be human? How does this view differ from what our culture usually says about human purpose or identity?

Genesis says we are made “in the image of God.” What do you think that means in practical terms? How should this belief shape the way we see ourselves and others?

Alex said that harming another human being is “sacrilege — an attack on God.” How does that challenge the way we think about conflict, prejudice, or the value of people who are different from us?

The sermon mentioned that Christians throughout history have held different views about how God created life. How can we hold to our faith while also respecting science? What might it look like to talk about faith and science in a way that’s humble and invitational?

You heard that “work is worship” — that when we cultivate, create, and serve, we reflect God’s image. How does that change the way you think about your daily work or responsibilities?

The Hebrew phrase for “helper suitable” is also used to describe God as our “rescuing ally.” How does this understanding reshape how we view the partnership between men and women in God’s design?

Alex said, “We were made to mirror God, but instead we tried to replace Him.” In what ways do people today still try to “shine on our own”? What does that look like in your life or in our world?

Even after humanity turned away, God kept pursuing partnership — ultimately through Jesus. What does it mean to you that Jesus is “the perfect image of the invisible God”? How does He restore what’s been broken in us?

If humans were created to spread “order and beauty,” what might that look like in your week ahead — in your home, relationships, work, or community?
