Resources For This Week

Passage- Genesis 1:26-27 (ESV)

Key Points:

Your identity is: God made you, and Jesus saved you!
Man is fundamentally a creature of God.
Your life does not belong to you, it belongs to God.
You were created on purpose for a purpose.
Vertical identity is rooted in worshiping God as Creator.
Every single human is beautifully unique as a testament of Gods creative glory.
The church should be a safe place for people to be able to work through every identity issue.
The biblical worldview begins with God creating gender distinctions, male and female.
Manhood and womanhood are directly linked to our biology and genetics.
All other gender identities are a distortion of the image of God and the good order He established when He created them male and female.
We have been made by Jesus for Jesus and we can only know ourselves in Him!
