Made in God's Image: No Idols Needed Because You Are One

Send us Fan MailWe start with summer life at Rush Church, swap jokes and icebreakers, then turn to a big Bible question that changes how we see ourselves and other people. We dig into the image of God as a calling to represent God on earth, fulfilled perfectly in Jesus and meant to reshape our everyday work and relationships. • summer announcements including youth night, camps, Kids Jam, and community events • quick jokes and light banter that sets the tone • icebreakers on time travel and most-used emojis • common assumptions about the image of God as physical or personality traits • why an ability-based definition can devalue people with disabilities • image of God as vocation: humans as God’s representatives and ambassadors • ancient kings, statues, and how Genesis flips the “only the king matters” idea • why the Bible rejects idols: God’s living images already exist in people • Eden as a temple and the call to expand God’s order into the world • the fall as failed representation and Jesus as the perfect image bearer • ruling through love, humility, compassion, and sacrifice instead of exploitation • a practical ethic: treating people well as an act of honoring God So if you have a seventh through twelfth grader, send them here Sunday night. We need your volunteer help. Just type in Bible Project Image of God.www.rushchurch.com
