-21st June 2026- Stu preaches from Genesis about how God made mankind in HIS image, to be like Him and carry out His will on the Earth as His children. We are fruitful when we rest in His goodness and grace! Take a listen and be blessed!

The Story of Joseph | Image Bearer or Image BreakerAs we come to the end of our journey through Genesis, we turn to its final great character, and perhaps the most Christ-alluding figure in the Old Testament: Joseph. His story is a literary masterpiece, marked by rise, fall, and rise again. A beloved son betrayed by his brothers, cast down into suffering, and then lifted to unexpected glory, Joseph's life is filled with themes of rejection, temptation, hidden providence, suffering, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Above all, his story shows us that even in the darkest chapters, God is at work, bringing grace through pain and salvation through what seemed lost.Teaching Text: Genesis 39.Preached by Jeff Patrick 

Most of us are living from a story about ourselves that was written by someone other than God. This week we looked at the gap between the false self, the identity we absorbed from our wounds, our failures, and the people around us, and the true self, the one God had in mind when he formed us.Psalm 139 gives us the foundation. God knitted us together with the same deliberate care a weaver gives to the loom. He was present in the formation. He knew what he was making. He liked what he was making. The ancient world said humans were disposable labor. Psalm 139 says you were known before you were formed.We traced this pattern through Scripture. The Israelites at the edge of the promised land called themselves grasshoppers, and that became their ceiling. A man named Salim carried a false identity as a failure and a disappointment until he brought it honestly to God and received a true name instead. Jacob wrestled through the night and had to say his own name, the deceiver, before he was given a new one.The honest middle comes before the new identity. You bring the real thing. God speaks the true thing.We closed with three questions to bring to God: What is the most important thing you want me to know right now? Where am I not living in truth? And what do you call me?You cannot give away what you do not have. Letting God name you is not indulgent. It is generous.URF WEBSITE: ➤ http://www.urfellowship.comSOCIALS: ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/urfellowship/➤ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/urfellowship

Everyone's talking about mindfulness… but what if we've missed the most important part?What if the key isn't your mind being focused—but God's mind being focused on you?In this teaching on Psalm 8, John Ortberg explores a deeper kind of mindfulness—one that begins not with your attention, but with God's.While we often struggle with distraction, anxiety, and rumination, Psalm 8 reveals something surprising: God is fully, constantly mindful of you. His attention never drifts. His care never wavers.Through reflection, Scripture, and guided prayer, this teaching invites you to step into praise, re-center your mind, and experience what it means to live in the awareness of God's presence.You'll also learn how to pray the Psalm—turning your attention from distraction to delight, and from anxiety to awe.Music Credits:Vikersund by RØRE - MB01V0UASAACPKEAlta by RØRE - MB01IWZVJASGKHF

26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God created mankind in his own image,    in the image of God he created them;    male and female he created them.28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.” Genesis 1:26-28 NIV

Image Bearers Pt.2 Pastor Lisa 03/08/26

Image Bearers Pastor Lisa 02/15/26

This is a weighty sermon, but a necessary one. We look at what Scripture says about innocent blood, how cultural “line-drawing” blurs moral clarity, and how the church can respond with both conviction and compassion—especially toward mothers, families, and the vulnerable. My prayer is that this message helps us think biblically, love sacrificially, and act faithfully.

Hey Nurse friend, Today, I'm sharing a conversation I had with Lacey Conner on her podcast: Image Bearers. We have a casual conversation about nurse burnout and identity. We talk about how burnout show up in our lives, differently and the way God led us both to using our skills and expertise in nursing in our current season of life. Lacey is a mom to 4, RN and host of the podcast, Image Bearers. She is using the podcast to glorify God by sitting down with people and their story. Because we are made in the image of God, we have bestowed worth and dignity. She is wanting people to feel like they are seen, heard, and loved. To love another person is to see the face of God and I believe this to be true. Wherever you are in your nursing journey, I believe this conversation with shed light on how you can live out your identity with less stress.

If I was to list the many ways in which today's cultural narrative is misdirecting and misshaping our kids, the topic of identity would have to be at the top of the list. This is especially troubling when we realize that the search to figure out who I am is front and center in our kids lives as they grow through adolescence. Our friend Mike McGarry has written a book to help teenagers know and live out the beautiful reality of finding one's identity as a divine image bearer. Stay tuned as I chat with Mike about leading kids to the truth about who they are, on this episode of Youth Culture Matters.

Has Christian nationalism gone too far? In this lively yet thought-provoking conversation, we explore the tension between faith and politics, the role of the church in society, and how cultural challenges shape the way Christians embody the teachings of Jesus. From examining controversial trends like the rise of extreme Christian nationalism to unpacking theological nuances such as cruciformity and the kingdom of God, this discussion invites listeners to wrestle with what it means to live faithfully in a complex world. With humor, personal stories, and deep theological insight, the hosts tackle questions like: How should Christians navigate cultural issues without compromising their witness? What does justice look like in a society shaped by competing wills? And how do we maintain humility and curiosity in the face of divisive ideologies?  We encourage you to join the conversation—email us your thoughts or engage with us on Instagram and Facebook. Let's continue to pursue a faith that reflects the heart of Jesus in a world that desperately needs it. Your voice matters as we explore these crucial questions together!

Dave Rich examines the glory of God as the central purpose of Christian living in this lesson on Christian ethics. The glory of God represents the ultimate telos—the motivation and purpose—behind every ethical decision believers make. Throughout Scripture —from Psalm 86 to Revelation 4 —the glory of God emerges as the reason for creation and the believer's chief end. The Hebrew word kavod and the Greek word doxa reveal three distinct biblical meanings: God's inherent gloriousness, the glory due Him through praise, and the created brightness surrounding His revelation.Believers cannot make God more glorious, yet they glorify Him by reflecting His character as image bearers. The glory of God manifests through twenty biblical activities, including living with purpose, confessing sins, praying expectantly, and proclaiming the gospel. Christian ethics remains both deontological—adhering to God's commands—and teleological—pursuing the glory of God as the ultimate purpose. Whether eating, drinking, or whatever believers do, all should aim toward the glory of God, fulfilling the Reformation principle of Soli Deo Gloria. ★ Support this podcast ★

I would simply remind you that God remains faithful to His covenants. The rainbow belongs to God, and it will serve as the sign that He established in Genesis 9, come what may. Of greater importance is the need for God's people to remember God's covenant of forbearance.Support the showThanks for listening! Follow us on Facebook or Instagram more info colonialkc.org

Man: Image-Bearer and Sinner

Our lives become a mirror of what we focus on. If our attention is captured by the noise of the world and the culture of its political and religious systems—we will only reflect that turmoil. But when we fix our eyes singularly on the Father, our lives will begin to reflect His image and His light. As image-bearers with our focus set firmly on Him, we are designed to awaken others and redeem this earth. Creation itself is crying out for the sons and daughters of God to be revealed—and that is us. The earth has been standing on tiptoe, and this is the moment it has been waiting for.

Even when you don't feel it, you're an image bearer of God.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/todayssinglechristianSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“How proud we often are of the victories in the war with nature, proud of the multitude of instruments we have succeeded in inventing, of the abundance of commodities we have been able to produce. Yet our victories have come to resemble defeats. In spite of our triumphs, we have fallen victims to the work of our hands; it is as if the forces we had conquered have conquered us.”— Abraham Joshua HeschelWhat does a soul do with power entrusted to him by the living God?What is its lasting legacy in the souls and spaces he inhabits?How is a man or woman remembered long after they've passed from this world?What is the formation—or lack thereof—that shapes these outcomes?These questions and others lie at the heart of the message of Becoming a King. How do we become people whose relationship with power leads to the flourishing of others rather than their suffering? How do we respond to our deep desire to be powerful, confront what has gone wrong, and become the kind of Image-Bearers whose strength helps heal and restore the world?Join me for Episode One of A Deeper Cut Series. As we mark the fifth anniversary of the release of Becoming a King, it feels both fitting and honoring to invite each member of our community, women and men alike, into more. Through interviews with like-hearted allies, teaching, conversations, and stories of how God has worked through this message, this ten-part series serves as a collection of trailheads—each centered on a deeper immersion through core ideas from Becoming a King.There is more and more of God and His Kingdom available. Much of Him, a breath away. Let's pursue it together.It has all been prologue. The best is yet to come.For the Kingdom,Morgan and Cherie Snyder

Kindness seems to be in short supply today, evident in everything from online arguments to road rage and church divisions. As Christians, this is a problem because kindness is a fruit of the Spirit, and its scarcity means we're not reflecting Christ's work in our lives. In this episode, Costi Hinn shares three keys to cultivating kindness, helping us develop healthy hearts and live out this essential Christian quality.Order Costi's newest book “The Farmer Who Chose to Plant Kindness”: https://www.amazon.com/Farmer-Chose-Kindness-Fruit-Spirit/dp/0736987509
