Created for a purpose!
Gen 1:26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
The Story of Us - Image of God
God created the heavens, earth, and everything in it over seven days. He created man in His own image to have dominion over creation. The Bible says God carefully formed man from dust and breathed life into him, making man unique from all other living creatures. It emphasizes that each individual is significant to God and He has purpose for each person's life.
Bright Pebbles 15: A Beautiful World
God created the heavens and the earth, as well as all the beauty in the natural world around us, from magnificent trees and beautiful flowers, to tiny ants, soaring birds, and colorful fish. Not only did God make the wonderful world, but He designed everything to follow a special plan of growth and development. We can thank God for all He has created and appreciate the things in nature that bring us happiness.
Creative Differences in Marriage (Gen. 2:18-23)
The story of the first marriage as described in the Bible is rejected by many today as a myth that has no bearing on 21st century relationships in a sophisticated society. This sermon will challenge that notion and present the marriage between Adam and Eve as God's design for all marriages. The creative differences God made are good, true, and beautiful.

Can I Get A Refill? Slides, 8/11/13
The disciples gathered together and prayed to God after being threatened by religious leaders for preaching about Jesus. They recalled how kings and rulers had opposed God and his anointed one in the past. Though faced with hostility from both religious and political authorities like Herod and Pilate, the disciples acknowledged that their plans to harm Jesus were already predetermined by God. The disciples boldly asked God to continue empowering them to preach his word and to perform signs and wonders through the name of Jesus. In response, the place they were meeting was shaken and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, enabling them to continue preaching God's word with boldness.
Restoring Dominion by Sergio Fustero Carreras
This document discusses the biblical concept of humanity's dominion over the earth as given by God. It explains that humans were created to rule over nature but to do so as faithful stewards of God's creation. However, sin has disrupted this relationship as mankind has overexploited resources. The document calls for respecting boundaries and caring for the environment and people with responsibility and compassion as a way to begin restoring proper dominion.

05 Creation
Let us start from the beginning.
Next Lesson: 06 - MAN'S ORIGIN
http://www.slideshare.net/lsotorv/06-mans-origin
(hilite+rightclick+open)
What is man
The document explores what makes humans unique from animals and discusses the origins and ultimate fate of humanity. It notes that humans were created in God's image but are mortal beings made of dust. While the body dies, the spirit returns to God. It emphasizes that humans will face judgment after death based on whether they obey and fear God by keeping his commandments or instead love worldly things. Salvation is available through faith in Jesus Christ.
The intervention
The Intervention
In our world today, where new and more complicated problems of seem to emanate from man’s dealings with others and even more disturbing, man’s dealing with himself. An age when man have now decided to create a culture of ‘managing his problems’ instead of seeking a solution. All kinds of ‘programmes’ are proffered to solve these problems but the real intensions of proffering this solution is the lust for money and fame – “For the love of money is the root of all evil”. Man keep going round and round in circles but no solution.
We can see in the scriptures that God, the Master Planner has already provided a solution right from the foundation of the world; that solution to redeem us is based on His plan to start a new tribe, a new race entirely. This solution does not involve tampering around with the old so that ‘it can be managed’. He goes deep down to the root and cuts us off (He cuts us off from our connection to Adam) and then begins a new tribe, a new race. But the wonder and the glory of it is that he starts the tribe, the new race within the shell of the old. Outwardly, we remain unchanged. Our bodies are still subject to decrepitude and decay and death. Yet, within, a new man has begun if we have exercised faith in Jesus Christ and repented. God's solution is to end the curse of Adam and to redeem us and release within us the power of a new life, the life of Jesus himself.
Redemption is the act of buying something back; or an act by which the original or prospective owner of a thing pays a price to return that thing from a present owner (back) to his/her possession.
Everyone is in need of redemption. Our natural condition was characterized by guilt: “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”. Christ’s redemption has freed us from guilt, being “justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus”.
The benefits of redemption include eternal life forgiveness of sins righteousness, freedom from the law’s curse, adoption into God’s family, deliverance from sin’s bondage, peace with God, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. To be redeemed, then, is to be forgiven, holy, justified, free, adopted, and reconciled.
One story that adequately describes God’s love, acceptance and continual forgiveness for us in Jesus’ illustration of the prodigal son in Luke 15; in this parable Jesus told us of the son who took half his father's money and ran away, then returned home and his father saw his son and was moved with compassion. Verse 20 tells us how the father received his son:
"And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him." (Luke 15:20)
That is how our heavenly Father sees us, welcomes us, forgives us and loves us even after we've really messed up, and then turn back to Him! He is moved with compassion and welcomes us with open arms
God in Christianity &Islam
The document compares beliefs about God from the Holy Book and the Holy Quran. It summarizes several attributes of and statements about God from the Holy Book, such as that God sometimes forgets, sleeps, needs refreshment, can be seen face to face, lacks complete knowledge, regrets actions, and orders sins. However, the document states that the Holy Quran portrays God as never forgetting, sleeping, needing refreshment, being seen, lacking knowledge, regretting, or ordering sins.
The heart of God
God wants a relationship with humanity even though He doesn't need us. He created humans with purpose and cares for us individually. God's heart is for people to experience heaven on Earth by separating from darkness through His light, yet still influencing the darkness. Understanding God's loving heart encourages pursuing Him fully despite any difficulties.

Who Am I
This document summarizes the Christian beliefs about human identity. It discusses that humans were:

2) Became lost and separated from God due to sin entering the world through Adam and Eve's disobedience.
3) Can be redeemed by God through faith in Jesus Christ, who died as a sacrifice to atone for human sins. Through Christ, humans can have a new identity, standing, and relationship with God.
5. Teaching God's Money
This document discusses what Christians should do with money given by God. It recommends that believers 1) teach others about proper stewardship of money according to God's word, 2) use money to support the gospel through charitable giving and living for God's glory rather than wealth, and 3) as parents, diligently teach their children God's financial principles from the Bible.
"And God Said... Let Us Make Man" Part 2
1. God created humans in His image to resemble Him in character, plurality, purpose, and relationships. Both men and women reflect God.
2. Humans were created to represent God by multiplying, filling the earth, caring for creation, and having dominion as God's representatives.
3. Being made in God's image means humans are exalted over nature, designed for God's glory and joy, and blessed with what they need to fulfill their purpose of representing the Creator.
08 jesus provider
This document provides a summary of Lesson 8 from the Bible. It discusses several key points:
- God sustains all things through Jesus Christ by His powerful word. This refutes philosophies like deism that say God does not interact with the universe.
- God individually sustains each person from birth according to passages like Psalm 71:6. Though evil affects nature, God still manages it and provides for needs, like controlling winds.
- Despite sin affecting humanity, God promises to sustain the righteous and meet their needs, like providing clothing for Adam and Eve after the Fall. Believers can trust God to sustain them.

Sabbath School Lesson 2, 3rd quarter of 2016
God created humans to have dominion over the earth and its creatures according to Genesis 1:26. This dominion was meant to be carried out as faithful stewards of God's creation. While humans were given authority, this authority had boundaries like not eating from the tree of knowledge. Humans transgressed these boundaries through sin. However, through Christ's restoration, dominion can be restored by caring for people and the earth with love, kindness and humility as stewards of God's creation.
Study Slides for Genesis 3
God created Adam and placed him in the Garden of Eden to tend to it. God commanded Adam that he could eat from any tree except the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God saw that it was not good for Adam to be alone, so God created Eve from Adam's rib to be his companion. Adam and Eve, the first humans, lived freely in the garden without shame.

Discussion next week will focus on developing integrity of action in marriage and family through God's presence within them.
Know your father
The document discusses the importance of knowing God as our Father. It states that as we come to know God as our Father, His nature will be imparted in us and we will grow in love, confidence, assurance and faith in Him. It also discusses how God created humanity in His image to show His love, how He meets our needs, and how He provides opportunities for repentance even when we sin. The overarching message is that God loves us unconditionally as our Father.
Sermon Slide Deck: "Thank God It's Monday"
This document discusses Genesis 1:27-28 and 2:8-9, 15-22, which describe God creating humans in His image and placing them in the Garden of Eden. It argues that God commissioned humans to "be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth" and to "have dominion and subdue it," meaning to create and shape culture. Christians are God's workmanship, created to do good works, and should see their work as contributing to the development of culture in their fields and communities.
02 restoring dominion
God created humans to have dominion over the earth and its creatures according to Genesis 1:26. This dominion was meant to be carried out as faithful stewards who care for and protect creation. Humans were held accountable for taking care of the earth. After sin entered, humans and nature rebelled, but Christians are still called to be good stewards of the planet and help those in need as restoration begins. Proper care of the environment and people is a moral duty, and Christians should live simply and sustainably with restraint in using resources.
The Revelation of the Father - Week 2
This document provides an overview of the Catholic theological concept of the human heart. It discusses how God created humans with hearts larger than sensual pleasure, work or domination. It summarizes the biblical story of creation, the fall of humanity and temptation of Adam and Eve. It then discusses how Jesus Christ acts as the "New Adam" and "Prodigal Adam" to renew humanity. The document ends by discussing how God wishes to give people the heart of Christ to accomplish his work in the world.
The Creation
THE CREATION comprises all that God ‘created’ or ‘framed’ cosmically in the beginning and all that He ‘made’ or ‘did’ for the earth in six creation days (Gen 2:3; 5:1; Heb 11:3) as well as the invisible creation
The Godhead and mankind
The document provides an overview of the Godhead (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) and their roles in creation according to Genesis chapters 1 and 2. It discusses how God created mankind to have fellowship and relationship, unlike other creatures. It then summarizes the creation of Adam and Eve, their placement in the Garden of Eden, and God's command not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The document aims to stir up the reader's mind by exploring its interpretations of these biblical passages.
Understanding God - Our Creator
This document discusses the concept of God as the creator. It presents two possible explanations for how the world came to be - either through a creator or by chance. The document argues that only the creator explanation is logical, as something must have begun the sequence. It provides biblical passages that affirm God as the creator. It also discusses God's plan and purpose in creation, what the future may hold, and encourages learning more about God.

The document also summarizes key points from scholar John Walton, who argues Genesis 1 describes the functional origins of the cosmos as God's temple rather than material origins. Overall, the document aims to provide biblical worldviews of creation and humanity grounded in understanding the original historical context and meaning.

Overview of the Bible (1) Creation
God created the heavens and the earth over six days. On each day, God created a new part of the world: light, sky, land, plants, stars, animals, and finally humans. God created the first humans, Adam and Eve, and saw that all He had made was good. On the seventh day, God rested from His work of creation, making the seventh day holy. The creation story establishes God as the all-powerful creator and that the world and humanity were made to depend on and reflect God.
Vintage love marriage_purpose_6.3.12
The document describes passages from Genesis that tell the story of creation and the first man and woman. It explains how God created Eve from Adam's rib to be his suitable helper, and that the two were united in marriage. It then discusses three purposes of marriage according to Christian theology: 1) to experience true friendship through lifelong commitment, transparency, shared passions, and spiritual friendship; 2) to undergo personal refinement as spouses sanctify and perfect one another; 3) to take on a shared mission, whether through focusing on mission, family, or becoming a family on mission together.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
