Jesus Reflects

Posted on October 5, 2013 by Becca

For the last several weeks, we have been talking about the things for what we have been created. Now, we turn our eyes to Jesus, the perfect example of how we should strive to live our lives. How He reflects God’s nature, His glory, His mission. Colossians 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities–all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.
“Who is Jesus? He is God Himself made visible to all. Praise God! You and I are not condemned to live in the darkness, because He has turned on the Light! Praise God for just giving us Jesus!” Anne Graham Lotz
Have you been thankful for Jesus lately?

Created to Reign

Posted on September 28, 2013 by Becca

God created us in His image – to reflect Him and His glory to a lost and dying world, to relate to Him and those around us – to invest in their lives and love them like He would. We were created to work, and love-motivated work is a witness to those with who we come in contact. But work does not have to define our lives to the point where we have no rest from it. Jesus rested while he was here on earth. To what better example can we look? Now, does it surprise you that we were also created to rule? It’s right there in the Creation story… But, “With great power comes great responsibility”. Yes, Michael Gateley I did just break out a Stan Lee reference… or was it Voltaire… or wait… could the basic idea have come from Christ? “From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more” Luke 12:48b Leadership is a huge responsibility, no matter what part of your life – your family, your job, school, ministry. Christ is the perfect example of what our leadership should look like. Servant leadership – humble, self-sacrificing. Are there areas in your life that God is calling you to humble leadership?

Song that I thought went well with last Sunday…also with this, considering our desperate need for Him.

Hey guys, if you are in town tomorrow morning, we are talking about being Created to Reflect in Sunday School. Question to ponder – What does it mean to you that we are created in the image of God? Verse to live out – 1 Corinthians 10:31: So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
