"Imago Dei" is a latin term, meaning "image of God." If we are made in the image of God, what does that look like lived out? How do we become a true reflection of Christ in this world? This series is a practical and tangible encouragement to our church to become like Christ in character and deed.
This sermon argues that living an unhurried life is possible when we shift our focus from personal ambition to serving God's purpose and others. The message emphasizes that true freedom from the compulsion to hurry comes from a secure identity as a child of God, rooted in the foundational trust that our Heavenly Father is good and has already demonstrated His love for us through Jesus Christ.
This sermon explains that Jesus's perfect obedience, particularly during his temptations, not only fulfilled the law on our behalf but also freed us from the bondage of sin. The message highlights that a true understanding of Christ's willingness to suffer for us inspires a transformed heart that desires to obey God out of love and gratitude, rather than mere obligation.
This sermon explains that humanity, as image-bearers of God, is meant to reflect His greatness and love, but our inherent self-centeredness prevents us from doing so. The message highlights Jesus as the ultimate model of humility, who, despite being God, willingly emptied himself by becoming a servant and dying on the cross, providing the path to true transformation and the ability to reflect God's image.
