The Rest of the Sermon
As the pastor of older and fairly conservative country churches, there's often a lot left unsaid in the sermon. Each week I'll share additional thoughts and things left unsaid.
The Rest of the Sermon
Imago Dei
•
Pastor Scott
In this episode we take a deep dive into what it means to be created in the image of God—Imago Dei. From Genesis 1’s declaration that all humanity reflects God’s likeness, we explore how this truth challenges the way we see the poor, immigrants, LGBTQ+ neighbors, racial minorities, and even those whose words or actions we find harmful. We also reflect on the heartbreaking reality in Gaza and how recognizing God’s image in every person can reshape our empathy and response to suffering. It’s an honest conversation about faith, justice, and what it means to treat every human life as sacred.
