Podcasts about image of god

Have you ever wondered what it really means to be made in the image of God? Genesis 1:27 reveals that being created in God’s image isn’t just about our unique qualities—it’s about our purpose. In Scripture, God appoints humanity to represent His character and authority on earth, reflecting His love, order, and goodness wherever we go. This devotional explores the deeper biblical meaning behind being made in God’s likeness, revealing how we were created not only with identity but also with divine responsibility. Like royal ambassadors, we are called to bring light into darkness, peace into chaos, and God’s presence into every sphere of influence. ✨ Highlights Being made in God’s image goes beyond identity — It’s about living out God’s authority and reflecting His goodness. Purpose and responsibility — We are meant to represent God’s character wherever we live, work, and influence others. A biblical perspective — Ancient Near Eastern kings used statues to represent their reign; in the same way, we represent God’s kingdom on earth. Humanity’s mission — Bring God’s order, kindness, and love into the spaces around you, from your home to your community. Practical reflection — Use your unique gifts not only to build yourself up but to magnify God’s presence and goodness in the world.

What does it really mean to be made in the image of God? In this series, Imago Dei, Greg and Nathan dive into one of the most foundational truths of the Bible: that every human being is created in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:26–27). But what does that actually mean? How does it shape our identity, purpose, and relationships? Through honest conversation and practical insight, they tackle key questions like: How are humans different from animals and angels? What's the difference between being like God and being God? What does the image of God say about our worth—even in a broken world? How does it affect the way we relate to others, steward creation, and find our purpose? And how does Jesus show us what it really means to live as true image-bearers? Whether you're new to theology or looking for a deeper understanding of your identity in Christ, this episode lays the groundwork for a powerful journey through the doctrine of the Imago Dei. Subscribe now and join Greg and Nathan as they explore what it means to be human, made in the image of God.

The Word didn't just come as an idea—it became flesh and made His home among us. And now, through His Spirit, He dwells within us. This means our words carry divine authority, because we are made in His image. Every word we speak creates something that lives with us—whether life or death, peace or chaos. In this episode, we dive into what it truly means for the Word to dwell in us, and how we can guard the temple of our lives with the words we release.

One of Judaism's most famous teachings is that every person is created B'tzelem Elohim—in the image of God. But what does that really mean for how we see and treat each other, especially those who have done wrong? In this episode, Rabbi Micah Streiffer digs into a surprising Torah passage and rabbinic midrash to explore dignity, justice, and the limits (or lack thereof) of seeing the divine in every human being. --------------------------------- Seven Minute Torah is a production of LAASOK: The Liberal Beit Midrash.

Cain walked away from the presence of the LORD, and his descendants, though wealthy, successful and beautiful, will continue to grow in corruption. That point is captured in the description of Lamech, son of Cain, and his children. Yet at the same time, God's providence is working through the line of Seth to bring both judgment and mercy upon the earth for the sake of fulfilling God's promise spoken to Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:15. This son of Lamech, the son named Noah, will be a righteous man and a deliverer of the elect who will then father the nations following the devastating flood to come.Support the showThanks for listening!

Hidden Fire:  Navigating Sexual Desire and Passion for the Glory of God - Affair Proofing Your MarriageAs men, we all struggle with internal, fiery forces that reside deep within our souls. These internal forces can seemingly remain dormant, only to suddenly burst into an uncontrollable blaze. One such “hidden fire” is our sexuality. What God created to be "good," to be fully enjoyed within the covenant of marriage, can quickly turn destructive, consuming everything good in our lives. Because we are sexual beings, we cannot eradicate this fiery force; instead, we must come to understand and direct it by learning to navigate our lives according to the Ways and Wisdom of the God who designed us as sexual beings. Only then can this internal fiery force be a blessing to our world, bring joy to our hearts, and glorify the God who made us! Please join us in this series as together we seek to develop into men of sexual integrity.This series will cover such topics as:Getting to the Heart of LustLead us not into TemptationDealing with Sexual SinAffair-proofing Your MarriageSuper-Marital SexSex and the Single GuyNavigating the Pathway to Sexual IntegrityTo find out more about Awakened Heart Ministries, and our mission of Offering Men Hope and Direction in a Confusing World through Jesus Christ, please visit us at www.ahm4.life

This sermon is part of our theological survey of the book of Genesis. As we examine the doctrine of man, we see in the first chapter of Genesis that mankind is created in the image of God. What does it mean that we are created in God's image? That is what Pastor Jess Miller unpacks in this sermon.

We enter a new chapter examining the dignity of the human person, and Article 1 shows us that we have dignity because we are made in the image and likeness of God. We preserve that dignity when we exercise virtue and charity, and we do violence to it when we commit sin and evil acts. Fr. Mike hones in on the bold statement that we as humans are “the only creature on earth that God has willed for its own sake.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1699-1715.

In this power-packed teaching, Ambassador Elisha dives deep into one of the most misunderstood truths in scripture—what it really means to be made in the image of God.   Too many people define it by race, gender, or physical features.   But in this episode, you'll uncover the truth: being made in God's image is about authority and glory—your divine capacity to function like God on earth.   From personal stories to eye-opening biblical insight, Elisha reveals how failing to walk in that authority stains God's reputation through us—and how to step boldly into your divine design.  

Title: The Doctrine of the Image of God Passage: Genesis 1:27 Preached by Craig Hefner Resurrection Church 8.3.2025 #ResurrectionChurch #Charleston #WestVirginia

Pastor Jim walks through the fall of the northern kingdom in 2 Kings 17, tracing Israel's exile back to a long history of idolatry, broken covenants, and corrupt leadership. Jim weaves together the story of Eden, Egypt, and the kingdom to show how exile is not just a political event but a spiritual consequence of rejecting God's presence and purpose. Through vivid examples, he explains how idolatry shapes our identity, leading us away from the life God intends and into emptiness, corruption, and disconnection. Jim highlights the warning signs God repeatedly gave His people and challenges us to consider what false gods we serve today. Ultimately, the message points to Jesus as the true King who enters our exile, takes on our punishment, and restores us to God's presence. Rather than settling for temporary substitutes, Jim invites listeners to turn again and again to the King who brings us home.

Continuing on our journey through the Old Testament in Genesis while also tying in Romans 4.

Discover the truth of God's loving nature, how to rebuild trust with Him, and why your image of God shapes everything about your spiritual life.

What if our relentless drive to be better than others is quietly breaking us?Miroslav Volf unpacks the core themes of his 2025 book, The Cost of Ambition: How Striving to Be Better Than Others Makes Us Worse. In this book, Volf offers a penetrating critique of comparison culture, diagnosing the hidden moral and spiritual wounds caused by competition and superiority.Drawing on Scripture, theology, philosophy, literature, and our culture's obsession with competition and superiority, Volf challenges our assumptions about ambition and identity—and presents a deeply humanizing vision of life rooted not in being “the best,” but in receiving ourselves as creatures made and loved by God.From Milton's depiction of Satan to Jesus' descent in Philippians 2, from the architectural rivalry of ancient Byzantium to modern Olympic anxieties, Volf invites us to imagine a new foundation for personal and social flourishing: a life free from striving, rooted in love and grace.Highlights“The key here is for us to come to appreciate, affirm, and—importantly—love ourselves. Love ourselves unconditionally.”“Striving for superiority devalues everything we have, if it doesn't contribute to us being better than someone else.”“The inverse of striving for superiority is internal plague by inferiority.”“In Jesus, we see that God's glory is not to dominate but to lift up what is low.”“We constantly compare to feel good about ourselves, and end up unsure of who we are.”“We have been given to ourselves by God—our very existence is a gift, not a merit.”Helpful Links and ResourcesVisit faith.yale.edu/ambition to get a 40-page PDF Discussion Guide and Full Access to 7 videosThe Cost of Ambition by Miroslav Volf (Baker Academic, May 2025)Philippians 2:5–11 (NIV) – Christ's Humility and Exaltation – BibleGatewayRomans 12:10 – “Outdo one another in showing honor” – BibleHubParadise Lost by John Milton – Project GutenbergParadise Regained by John Milton – Project GutenbergShow NotesOpening Reflections on CompetitionThe conversation begins with Volf recalling a talk he gave at the Global Congress on Christianity & Sports.He uses athletic competition—highlighting Lionel Messi—as a lens for questioning the moral value of striving to be better than others.“Sure, competition pulls people up—but it also familiarizes us with inferiority.”“We compare ourselves to feel good… but end up feeling worse.”Introduces the story of Justinian and Hagia Sophia: “Oh Solomon, I have outdone you.”Rivalry, Power, and InsecurityShares the backstory of Juliana's competing church and the gold-ceiling arms race with Justinian.“Religious architecture became a battlefield of status.”Draws insight from these historic rivalries as examples of how ambition pervades religious life—not just secular.Modern Parallels: Yale Students's & the Rat RaceVolf notes how even Yale undergrads—once top of their class—feel insecure in comparison to peers.“They arrive and suddenly their worth plummets. That's insane.”The performance-driven culture makes stable identity nearly impossible.Biblical Illustration: Kierkegaard's LilyVolf recounts Kierkegaard's retelling of Jesus's lily parable.A bird whispers to the little lily that it's not beautiful enough, prompting the lily to uproot itself—and wither.“The lesson: we are destined to lose ourselves when our value depends on comparison.”Intrinsic Value and the Image of God“We need to discover the intrinsic value of who we are as creatures made in the image of God.”Kierkegaard and Jesus both show us the beauty of ‘mere humanity.'“You are more glorious in your humanity than Solomon in his robes.”Theological Anthropology and Grace“We have been given to ourselves by God—our lives are a gift.”“We owe so much to luck, to others, to God. So how can we boast?”Paul's challenge in 1 Corinthians: “What do you have that you have not received?”Milton and Satan's AmbitionShifts to Paradise Lost: Satan rebels because he can't bear not being top.“Even what is beautiful becomes devalued if it doesn't prove superiority.”In Paradise Regained, Satan tempts Jesus to be the greatest—but Jesus refuses.Christ's Humility and Downward GloryHighlights Philippians 2: Jesus “emptied himself… took the form of a servant.”“God's glory is not domination—it's lifting up the lowly.”“Salvation comes not through seizing status, but through relinquishing it.”Paul's Vision of Communal HonorRomans 12:10: “Outdo one another in showing honor.”“True honor comes not from climbing over others, but from lifting them up.”Connects this ethic to Paul's vision of church as an egalitarian body.God's Care for Creation and HumanityLuther's observation: God calls Earth good but not Heaven—“God cares more for our home than his own.”“We are called to emulate God's loving attention to the least.”Striving vs. AcceptanceVolf contrasts ambition with love: “The inverse of striving for superiority is the plague of inferiority.”Encourages unconditional self-love as a reflection of God's love.Uses image of a parent greeting a newborn: “You've arrived.”A Vision for Healed Culture“We wreck others in our pursuit of superiority—and we leave them wounded in our wake.”The gospel reveals a better way: not performance, but grace.“Our salvation and our culture's healing lie in the humility of Jesus.”“We must rediscover the beauty of our mere humanity.”About Miroslav VolfMiroslav Volf is the founding director of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture and the Henry B. Wright Professor of Theology at Yale Divinity School. One of the leading public theologians of our time, he is the author of numerous books including Exclusion and Embrace, Flourishing, A Public Faith, Life Worth Living, and most recently, The Cost of Ambition.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Catherine Toon joins Bishop Jamie Englehart on his "Grace For All" show to unpack the healing revelation of a God who embodies both masculine and feminine attributes. With scriptural insight and compassionate wisdom, they explore how a distorted image of God—often influenced by misogyny and narrow interpretations—has impacted gender roles in the Church and beyond. Through historical context, biblical clarity, and prophetic insight, this conversation calls for a deeper, more inclusive understanding of the divine. Discover how restoring our view of God leads to healing for both men and women, and opens the door to a more vibrant, healthy Body of Christ. Key Takeaways: * God is revealed through both masculine and feminine expressions. * Misogyny has shaped theology—but truth brings healing. * Women and men are equally called and gifted for leadership. * Understanding context in scripture is essential for gender clarity. * Catherine’s research shows feminine roots in many “male” biblical terms. * A healthy image of God brings relational and cultural wholeness.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Thank you for joining me today and following us throughout Project 23. If you want to know more about this project click the link to learn more and partner with us. Our text today is Mark 12:13-17: And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians, to trap him in his talk. And they came and said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are true and do not care about anyone's opinion. For you are not swayed by appearances, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?” But, knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, “Why put me to the test? Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.” And they brought one. And he said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said to him, “Caesar's.” Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” And they marveled at him. — Mark 12:13-17 It's a trap disguised as a question. The Pharisees and Herodians, strange allies, join forces to corner Jesus. They ask about taxes. If he sides with Caesar, he looks like a sellout. If he sides against Caesar, they'll turn him in. But Jesus doesn't flinch at their political trap. He asks for a coin, points to Caesar's image, and delivers a mic-drop moment: “Render to Caesar what is Caesar's—and to God what is God's.” They came for a soundbite. What they got was a lesson on image, ownership, and ultimate allegiance. Because the coin may bear the emperor's image, but you bear God's. Jesus isn't just being clever. He's being confrontational. Caesar may own the coin, but God owns everything—including you. You're made in His image. That means every breath, every choice, every allegiance belongs to Him. That's not a political dodge—it's the deeper political tension. It's the political discussion most people won't have. God's image is the greater political image. And no matter where your passport says you're from, His image on your soul demands a higher allegiance. So yes—pay your taxes. Be a good citizen. Honor the laws of the land. But don't let politics become a spiritual escape. Don't let national loyalty replace kingdom loyalty. Because you can't truly render to Caesar what's his unless you've already rendered to God what's His: that's everything. #GreaterAllegiance, #GodsImage, #Mark12 ASK THIS: Why did Jesus ask about the image on the coin? What does it mean to bear God's image in daily life? How are you tempted to give your energy to earthly kingdoms over God's? What would it look like to truly “render to God” what is His? DO THIS: Ask: Am I spending more energy defending Caesar's image than reflecting God's? PRAY THIS: Father, you made me in your image. I don't want to give my loyalty to lesser kings. Help me live in a way that reflects your rule. Amen. PLAY THIS: “No Other Name”

Genesis - 1:26-29 : The Image of God - Part 2 - Carlos Pamplona

A @Christadelphians Video: # SummaryThe PRESENTATION explores the intricate structure and artistry of Genesis 1, examining the poetic and prosaic elements that reflect God's creation. It emphasizes the significance of being created in the image of God, highlighting the distinctions between humans and animals, and the moral and ethical implications of this status. The speaker discusses the importance of understanding our identity in relation to God, the concept of dominion, and the unique attributes that define humanity, ultimately encouraging viewers to strive towards embodying the likeness of Christ.Description: Why am I here and what is the purpose of my life? Two mind-bending questions that have baffled mankind from the beginning. Being human and living on planet earth is so very complex. While immersed in the experience of life we cannot adequately describe the breadth, height, and depth of it all. The true answer to life's deepest questions that can only be found in the Bible; in the beginning, in the creation account, in Genesis.Highlights

Have you ever believed something about someone that just wasn't true? It colored your whole view of that person, didn't it? The same goes for our image of God. All of us have some image of God that just isn't true. And it colors our entire relationship with him. It even shapes how we view ourselves. Today, Matthew shows us why we all assume things about God, how we can realign our image of him with the truth, and set ourselves free.
