As you listen and watch today, think about the idea that we are created “in the image of God.”

Questions:

  • As you watch people create, what ideas does that give you about God as a creator?
  • The Garden of Eden was likely located in part of the area that is now Iraq. Think about the Open Doors video about the Church in Iraq. What is the significance of its coming together after many years’ history of trying to work independently?
