PLEASE CONSIDER ATTENDING THE 2ND SERVICE We had people sitting and standing in the reduced foyer last week – we were unable to
accommodate everyone. It would be exceedingly helpful if those with more flexibility considered
moving to the 2nd service until we have more room, making space for those who can’t attend the
2nd service.

Long Story Short Session 2,
Module # 4
WHO AM I?
SUMMARY:
We human beings have been made
differently from every other living
being—we
have
been
made
personally by God and in God’s
image. Like our God, we create,
design, and explore. We think and
make moral choices. We may even
choose sacrifice over selfishness and
forgive the unforgiveable. If your
unique significance is that you are
God’s image-bearer, how are you
living up to that image?
LIFE GROUP
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
Read Genesis 1:20-31 & Genesis 2,
especially 4-24
1] How do the creation stories of
animals, Adam, and Eve differ?
Why do you think God created
human beings?

RESPONSE SLIP
2] What special role with authority
was given to humans and why?
Read also Psalm 8.
3] How do human communication and
human reason show that we are
made more like God than animals?
How are the relationships of Adam,
Eve and God personal?
4] How is Jesus a unique bridge
between heaven and earth, the
creator and creation? Reread
Psalm 8 and compare
Hebrews 2:5-9.
