Created in the Image of God

Since all people are created in the image of God we have a special status in creation. People, all people, regardless of skin color, mental capacity, or size have dignity, value, and worth because they are made in God's image.

Along with this special status we also have the immense responsibility of being God's image bearers. We are responsible to reflect God's goodness and character. This is a heavy burden until we realize that all that we need is provided for us by our great God in both creation and redemption.

Genesis

"In the beginning..." We live in a day and age where there are so many different opinions on our origins. What we see from Scripture is that Genesis lays the foundation for all important Christian doctrines and neither science or new theologies can undermine what God has said.
