Humanity | Week 1: Created for Glory
This weekend was all about glory. So, let’s start there. What does glory mean to you?
Some follow up questions: Where can you see glory in your daily life? How would God define glory?
God lays out his game plan for humanity in these verses. Go ahead and read them out loud. What sticks out to you? Everyone share.
Some follow up questions: What does it mean for us to have dominion over, well, everything? Why would God put us in charge of his creation?
If our job is to bring God glory, how are we doing that in our daily lives? Everyone share.
Some follow up questions: Would other people know we’re working to bring God glory from looking at our days? Or calendars? Or families? Or bank accounts? What are we doing that is bringing ourselves glory over God?
God uses weakness for his glory. Raise your hand if there is an area of your life where you feel weak, or inadequate. (Yep. That’s everyone.) Take a bold step and share with the group where you are currently feeling weak.
Some follow up questions: How often do you talk about weakness? How can God use the weakness you shared to bring him glory?
Who are we? These days, it’s easy to believe that we are essentially nothing; that we are little more than our biology, the products we consume, or the work we produce. Yet the Bible tells a different story—that God created mankind in his image. Created us to resemble him, to carry his authority and power, to care for the world that he created.
