In The Image of God

Genesis 1:27 
"So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them."

This week we continue our series titled Children of the Heavenly Father. Last week we studied young David faced the GIANT GOLIATH!! One of the most famous events recorded in the Holy Bible! These events occurred so "ALL THE EARTH MAY KNOW that there is a God in Israel." 

Young David ran toward the giant Goliath when the rest of Israel was TOO scared. The other men of Israel gave in to the temptation to NOT fight the giant. GOD will prove you and use you to demonstrate His goodness and mercy in the world. GOD wants us to stand up against those that defy Him. We can do it! God is with us. We are His children.

Today we turn to the first chapter of the first book of Holy Scripture, verse twenty-seven; "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them." We are made in God's image! Don't forget that! We are special to GOD! This is something that is NOT said about the rest of creation.

As we tried to identify the Goliath's in our lives, which giants GOD will help us defeat, we noticed that Goliath was defiant against God's will. Who in our world today is defying God? Is there anyone saying something other than "male and female created He them."??? 
Are they a GOLIATH???

broken

Luke 22:61 "And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice." The cock crowed. Peter had denied Jesus—three times. Peter, who had walked on water, confessed Jesus as Messiah, and opposed the cross (earning “Get behind Me, Satan”). That day was already crushing: the Last Supper, Gethsemane, Jesus’ arrest. Peter drew his sword, then stood down. Following at a distance, he was recognized: “You were with Him.” “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Third denial. Earlier, Jesus warned Peter would deny Him thrice. Peter swore: “Even if all fall away, I never will. Even if I must die with You, I will not deny You.” (Matt 26:33–35; Mark 14:29–31; Luke 22:33–34; John 13:37–38) Now Jesus—beaten, bound—looks at Peter. Not with condemnation. With love. Peter breaks. He is not who he thought he was...

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.
