Devotion for Sermon 1

Devotion for Sermon 1:

“This at last is bone of my bones

    and flesh of my flesh;

this one shall be called Woman,

    for out of the man this one was taken.”

“I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.”

Take time to answer these questions, to think on these questions, and to let your answers move you. Feel free to blog your answers, write your answers in a journal, or simply keep them in your mind.

• Think/Reflect on a time that God’s image on you was apparent.
• What does it mean to be created in God’s image?
• When you know that you’re created in God’s image does that change the way you live your life?
• How does this relate to the first article of the Creed?
• How might you understand God’s story of creation and the stories that science (Big Bang Theory) tells us? How can God’s narrative work alongside scientific understandings?

Prayer:

O God, My Creator

You have created me in your image. Help me to live out your Word in my life. Restore your creation: plants, animals, sea, sky, and me. 

In the name of the one who lives,

Amen.
