All people are image bearers of God. Because of this, we value human life from the unborn to those who are crippled and those who are comatose. Our world says that if you are a certain way then your value changes, but God made you so if you’re not beautiful or if you’re an invalid you don’t have less worth. Pastor Mark Driscoll preaches on the practicality of living a life that images God in this clip from the Image sermon in our series Doctrine. The full sermon is available at http://is.gd/8pH.
People were created in part to reflect God’s glory back to Him. But because of the stain of sin, we have broken the metaphorical mirror and so we don’t perfectly reflect His glory. Jesus is the only man to perfectly reflect God’s glory, and therefore is the only normal person to walk the face of the earth. So when figuring out where we need to change, we need to look to Jesus and where we fall short is where we need help. Pastor Mark Driscoll explains Jesus as normative in this clip from the Image sermon in our series Doctrine. The full sermon is available at http://is.gd/8pH.
It’s popular today to attribute gender to God to further a position of chauvinism or feminism when in reality God doesn’t have a gender.

Pastor Mark Driscoll explains God’s gender in this clip from the Image sermon in our series Doctrine. The full sermon is available at http://is.gd/8pH.
