Manage episode 449719603 series 3592389
Welcome to Roots & Relevance! We’re excited to launch our new series, “Images and Idols,” with an exploration of Genesis and its profound statements on creation, identity, and divine purpose. In this opening episode, we dive into the foundational question of what it means to be created in the image of God—a theme that echoes through Scripture and shapes our understanding of worship, worth, and purpose.
Through a fresh look at Genesis 1, our panel considers how the ancient world understood the concept of “image” in light of their cultural and cosmological perspectives. From the chaos and void described at the beginning to God’s intentional ordering of creation, we unpack how Genesis establishes a framework that challenges modern assumptions and illuminates our role as image-bearers today.
As we set the stage for this series, we invite you to journey with us from chaos to order, exploring how these ancient texts speak to the timeless themes of identity and purpose. Join us in questioning, rethinking, and rediscovering what it means to bear God’s image in a world often filled with competing idols.
