This week, Pastor Gryff continued our sermon series “Set Free” where we’re diving into the idea that God sets us free from sins and for mission.
On Sunday we studied the creation story in Genesis. We were reminded that God made humans in His image! In today’s world, we are convinced that self-invention, or our accomplishments, relationships, and careers define us. Scripture tells us differently. Scripture says we are defined by God. Along the way, we lost sight of this and decided to define ourselves. So now, instead of pursuing a relationship with God, we chase other relationships to help us feel good. Instead of stewarding creation, we abuse it and exploit it. Instead of reflecting God’s love into the world, we turn inward and simply love ourselves.
Pastor Gryff challenged us to take a sticky note and write a simple reminder on it… “It’s About God.” The God who created the world, now seeks to redeem it from its brokenness. The God who designs us, now seeks to redesign us from our fallen nature through Jesus Christ. He was the perfect image of God sent to restore our broken image. When we realize we’re not the main character, we find freedom.
The One who designed you defines you.
