God Made Us In His Image
Big Truth:
God Made Us In His Image

Bible Verse:
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.
Big Ideas:
- We have value and worth because God is ultimately valuable.

Bible Story:
Genesis 1:26-31; 2:4-7After God created the heavens and the earth, He created man. He created Adam first and then He made Eve, Adam’s companion. God created mankind in His own image as a reflection of Himself to the world.
Story:
The Story is the good news of the gospel. All of Scripture tells the Story of God the Father’s work to redeem a people from the power of sin through God the Son so that they might live for His glory through the power of the Holy Spirit. During this series we will explore the four main movements of the Story of God, and our response to the life-altering Gospel Story!
Every child should know that:
- God is the author, subject, and hero of the gospel story
- Salvation comes by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone
Every child should strive to:
- Describe the gospel message through Creation, Fall, Redemption, and New Creation
- Memorize the Bible verse each week
Every child should feel:
- Brokenness over the depth of our sin against God
- Joy in Jesus, our Savior and King
Every child should want:
- To study the Bible so that they can better understand God’s story of redemption
- To share the gospel story with those who are separated from God in their sin
