Message: “Growing What Is Good, vol. 1: God Already Made Images of Himself” from Ross Stackhouse

The Bible starts with this idea that humankind is made in God’s image? Perhaps you’ve heard this (maybe even to the point it makes you want to roll your eyes). How can this be true? It sounds like a nice idea. But is it really true? And if so, why should we care? Why is this basic truth so important for our everyday lives? And why is it so important for living a purposeful life? We’re continuing the Easter story by exploring how we translate Jesus’s life–his teachings, his death, and his resurrection–into real life purpose for ordinary people. How do we receive what is good from Jesus and grow what is good with his Spirit inside us?

From Series: "Growing What Is Good"

When we talk about “growing what is good”, we are not just talking about growing something outside of ourselves. We are talking about growing…us. We are originally good, supremely good, according to Genesis 1. Jesus comes to Earth to take on what has destroyed us and restore us to our original goodness. He is the first of the New Humanity in the New Creation. He calls us to become part of the New Humanity in the New Creation.
