ME: God Creates Life (Gen.
1:26-28; 2:7;)
G'Day Mates!
My name is Josh Clink, I am the preaching pastor here at FBC Afton.
This past week, I got to be Crocodile Clink while playing games with the kids!
This morning, I would just like to talk about how God makes us valuable and what that means.
Our theme, as you already know,
Has been Zoomerang!
Inspired by this Australian invention,
The boomerang!
This is a pretty crafty invention.
They were able to simply carve a piece of wood into a curve,
That can be thrown against the heavy winds in the Australian Outback,
And it will come right back to you.
Such a cool invention!
Throughout human history,
People have come up with so many amazing inventions!
For example,
When I do this *mute mic*
Suddenly you guys can’t hear me as well.
*unmute mic*
Thankfully, someone invented all this audio equipment so we could hear better.
There are so many other cool inventions,
Like the chair,
Which most of you are sitting in,
Or buildings,
Like the one we are gathered in.
Fans, like all the ones we have blowing,
To help keep us cool on hot days like today.
It is stunning how creative humans can be.
Where does that ability come from?
The Bible says human creativity comes from an even more creative source, God!
While we use the things God created for our inventions,
God created everything out of nothing!
He invented creativity!
The first page of Bible says God created the earth;
He created light and the oceans and the sky and the mountains and trees and plants.
Then He started filling the earth by creating animals;
He created animals for the water and birds to fly in the air.
He created animals that walk and animals that crawl.
Then the Bible says He created something unlike anything else.
He created something in His own image!

Genesis 1:26 says:
Notice God says “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.”
This is because God is mysteriously three distinct persons:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Yet miraculously still one God.
He is too great for us to fully understand!
He is amazing!
And what does it say this amazing God created in His image?
Human beings!
He made the first people in His image,
And His image has been passed on to every person since.
But what does it mean that we are created in God’s image?
Well, if you look in a mirror, what do you see?
You see your image!
If you make a funny face, your image makes a funny face.
So, being made in the image of God means we reflect the image of God.
Therefore, all people have their own unique personality,
Just like the Father, Son, and Spirit.
Yet, there are many ways we all are the same.
Because we are the only thing God made to reflect some of His qualities and characteristics.
There is something special about being human.
Every person; man, woman, and child,
Is made with equal value,
Because all people are made in God’s image.
So, what are these qualities and characteristics?
Well, God is a caring and compassionate God.
So, we are able to care for one another, and have compassion.
God communicates with us.
So, we are able to communicate with one another.
And God is creative and inventive.
So, we can create and invent things, too!
But most importantly,
The Bible says God is love.
So, we are able to love.
We are able to love God and one another.
Again, the Father, Son, and Spirit have always enjoyed a loving relationship with one another.
And God made us in that image,
To enjoy a loving relationship with Him,
And with our friends and families.
These qualities make us unique from everything else God created.

This is my dog Forest,
Snuggling with my cat, Fiddle in the car.
I love my pets,
And of course I am a little biased,
But I think they are pretty smart.
However, neither of them can read or write.
Slide
As beautiful and majestic as this waterfall is,
No waterfall has ever invented or created anything.
Slide
And yes, the ocean may wave to you,
But that is the extent of it’s ability to communicate.
Slide
We have all likely heard birds make a beautiful melody on a nice day,
But they cannot play an instrument.
Because nothing else God has created has these qualities.
Only those who have the image of God.
