Unbroken: Part 1

Last night, we continued our Edge series called "Unbroken." In this series, we are going through God's story for all time found in the Bible. This first part of the series is focused on God creating the world and creating man. Here are some key points from the night.

1. God's Creation is AMAZING and everything about it points to his glory.

From a caterpillar having 228 seperate and distinct muscles in it's head to the universe being 150 billion light years big (we watched a video that showed this), creation is amazing and shows how big and glorious our God truly is.

2. God created MAN in HIS Image

Out of all of God's amazing Creation, he chose to make something he treasured more than anything else in this world. He chose to create man. He made man in His image for the purpose of representing and reflecting Him. Mirror Analogy: A mirror's purpose is to reflect light so that when we look into it, we see an exact representation of ourselves. God is the same way. He created us so that when he looks at us, he sees an exact representation of Himself.

3. Because man was created in His image, man had a perfect relationship with God.

We talked about how Adam and Eve's lives were perfect because of one thing, God made them to be that way. They didn't have any problems (not because it was sunny every day), but because God created them to have perfect relationship with Him.

4. Stop and Worship God for His creation

This is only the beginning of the big story of God, but it's so amazing that it should cause us to stop and worship. Last night at Edge, we worshiped in some different ways. Students had the opportunity to respond through drawing, writing, and reflecting (ask them about it).

It was a great night. Next week, we will discuss the BROKENESS that came through sin.
