Week 2
WELCOME
Are you ready to start our glory journey? We will start with this key idea: We were created for God’s glory and not for our own. Today we will focus on – the first part – We were created.
“Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image according to our likeness.’” – Genesis 1:26
According to this verse, who made you? Whose image are you created in?
WARM-UP
Play “Simon Says”
When we play “Simon Says”, why do you copy the leader? What happens when you don’t?
Do you ever copy someone? (get a few examples). Sometimes we copy other people because we think they do something better, or they are better than we are, but we always have to remember that God created us just the way He wanted us to be.
WORKOUT
How many of you know the Creation story from the Bible? Let’s name some of the things God created. (heavens, earth, light, dark, sky, earth, seas, plants, sun, moon, stars, sea creatures, birds, wildlife). The last thing God created was man. He created man in His image so He could enjoy a friendship with someone like Himself. So that means, every person ever born was created in God’s image because He loves us so much.
Do you think what you look like is important? Who do you think it is important to? (parents, social media, friends at school).
David wrote in Psalms 139:13-14, “For it was you who created my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will praise you because I have been remarkably and wondrously made.” God does everything perfectly so that means you were created perfectly – just how God wanted.
WRAP-UP
Others try to tell us how we look is one of the most important parts of life but we know that we are made in God’s image, God made us and God does not make mistakes so what others think doesn’t really matter.
Let’s pray.
“Lord, thank You for creating us remarkably and wondrously. Thank You for making us in Your image and wanting a relationship with us. Help us to remember that everyone on this team and in our lives was created by You. In Your name, amen.”
We’ll break huddle with our hands in. I’ll say, “Whose glory?”
And you will answer with, “God’s glory!”
Whose glory?
God’s glory!
