Getting to Know You:
- What is your dream vacation and why?
Going Deeper: - What right does God have to give us our
identity? Look up Genesis 1:24-27, Psalm 24:1,
Psalm 100:3
o What does it look like for us to live out
our identity as image bearers of God?
o How do we live that out in our maleness
and femaleness? - Discuss how God has made us body, soul and
spirit. What does it look like for us to relate to
God with body, soul and spirit? See 1 Cor.6:18-
20, Lk.1:46-56 - Discuss some of the physical, emotional and
spiritual differences between male and female.
Why is it good that God made us so different? - Read Romans 8:19-24. Discuss what sin has
done to creation and what God will do for the
creation, including our bodies. What is this such
good news and hope for everyone, especially
someone who is gender dysphoric? - Our culture suggests there are 72 different
genders. As believers why can we not accept the
belief that gender is a spectrum and that we can
define our own gender? How might you answer
someone who does believe this? - Look up Matt.16:22-24 and discuss what it
means to deny ourselves in relation to gender
theory. - How do you feel a Christian should respond to
someone who insists you use their preferred
pronouns, at work, in a social setting, at school,
at church? Use scripture to back up your answer - How might we stand for truth in a culture that
increasingly is hostile to a biblical worldview.
Use Matt.5:10-12
Taking it Home: - Memorize Matt.5:10-12 or Matt.11:28
