Mark your calendar to join us for the start of a small group study, Imago Dei, starting Wednesday night, November 3 at 7 pm.

 

Imago Dei

God's Image. God's People. God's Mission

People are naturally compelled to ask questions of identity: Who am I? What am I worth? Why am I here? The answers culture offers only lead to more questions. To properly answer all these questions, we need to look all the way back to the beginning—to our creation—and see that all people are made in the image of God.

Having a well-rounded view of the imago Dei will help us better understand ourselves, God, and the restoring work of salvation that comes to us through Jesus Christ. We can understand what God intended the imago Dei to be, how sin corrupted it, and how Jesus restores it through the power of the cross and the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.

Published by The Gospel Coalition in partnership with LifeWay, Imago Dei is a new group study by Mike Cosper that examines the image of God biblically within the grand narrative of Scripture, relationally as it applies to ourselves and others, and missionally in our service to others and in our obedience to the Great Commission.

Our Small Group Ministry is Called: LIFEGROUPS

Our Lifegroups are an important part of our purpose and process to "Live in Community" at Lifepoint. Without these Lifegroups we would not be connected to a group that offers support and guidance.

We would be delighted to have you experience a Lifegroup soon. Those interested in experiencing a Lifegroup need to email the church at pastor@lifepointbc.com and we will contact the appropriate leader.

Within our Lifegroups, we do our best to mix the group with different abilities. If you are unaware of your spiritual gift mix, complete our document, "Discovering Your Spiritual Gifts", and talk over the results with Pastor Mike or your Lifegroup leader.

If you would like to investigate our church membership, you may do so by reading our "Connect with Lifepoint" church membership covenant.
