In this sermon, Pastor Ryan Reynolds delves into the calling of Christians as image-bearers of God. Contrasting Yahweh's nature with pagan gods, he emphasizes our purpose to reflect God's love, wisdom, and humility in a world often shaped by self-interest. Through teaching, praise, and holiness, believers spread God’s character, countering cultural influences and embodying His presence to the world.

Key Points:

• Christians are called to reflect God's love, wisdom, and humility as image-bearers.

• Yahweh’s character contrasts with the flawed nature of pagan gods, highlighting His sovereignty and humility.

• Believers serve as “temples” of God’s presence, spreading His image through:

• Teaching: Embodying and sharing God’s values and truth.

• Praise: Reflecting worship through our actions and attitudes.

• Holiness: Living distinct, godly lives that attract others to God.

• Avoid cultural conformity; stay rooted in God’s character to fulfill our role as image-bearers.
