Unit 1: Creation and the Fall Scripture Covered: Genesis; Job Sample Outline Unit 1: Creation and the Fall Scripture Covered: Genesis; Job 2. God’s Good People 9/9/18 Passage: Genesis 1:26–2:3,15-18,21-25 Background: Genesis 1:26–2:25 • We bear God’s image in how we rule over the world (Gen. 1:26-31). • We bear God’s image in how we work and rest (Gen. 2:1-3,15). • We bear God’s image in how we relate to Him and others (Gen. 2:16-18,21-25). Essential Doctrine: 28. Image of God in Humanity Session in a Sentence: People were created by God to bear His image in every facet of our lives. Christ Connection: Jesus is the image of the invisible God, and as such, He is the perfect ruler over the world, the One whose perfect work earns our everlasting rest, and the One who restores our relationships with God and others. Missional Application: Because we are image bearers of God, we reflect His glory in how we steward the earth, work and rest, and cultivate relationships with Him and others. Devotion 1: Gen. 1:26-31 Devotion 2: Gen. 2:1-15 Devotion 3: Gen. 2:16-25 Devotion 4: Psa. 8:1-8 Devotion 5: Heb. 1:1-4 1 Sample Manuscript Volume 1: In the Beginning Unit 1: Creation and the Fall Session 2: God’s Good People Date: 9/9/18 Summary and Goal [95] In the previous session, we traced the first five-and-a-half days of creation seeing that God created everything good for His Son. In this session we will examine the rest of the creation account and focus on the pinnacle of creation—humanity. In doing so, we will see that God created people to be unique from the rest of His creation and to bear His image in every facet of life. It is in bearing God’s image that we find our dignity and purpose and the foundation for our relationships with God and others is established. Introduction [376] A few years ago there was a story in the newspaper about a man who had perhaps the worst day ever. While his wife was delivering their fifth child, the man sold an old ring box. The problem was that his wife’s fingers had swollen during her pregnancy so she had placed her wedding ring inside the box. Without knowing it, the man sold the box—and the $22,000 ring tucked away in it—for what he thought was a fair price: $10. While not many of us have given away a $22,000 ring, at one time or another we have made the mistake at the core of this blunder: we have greatly misunderstood and undervalued something. Perhaps it was a piece of china we didn’t realize was a collectable. Perhaps it was a piece of jewelry we didn’t know was made out of gold. Or perhaps it was a car we thought was on its last legs so we got rid of it only to learn it kept going for several more years. Whatever it was, we assessed its value only to find out later that we grossly underestimated it. When have you underestimated something? What happened? While we have each experienced the sting of undervaluing an object, we have all made a greater mistake—a more costly one—as well. And many of us continue to repeat this mistake day-in and day-out. We fail to value our humanity as we should. Like the husband with the ring box, we tend to think we know more than we do about our humanity because there has never been a time in the history of the world that we “know” so much. We celebrate our “enlightened advances” as a culture—advances that continue to redefine humanity and lead us to believe that we understand it more than ever. But does the fullest definition of humanity lie before us? Are we inching closer to it with every tweak and adjustment we make? Or, in fact, has the best and truest definition of humanity already been shared with us? Is our culture actually moving away from it? We find the answer in a place that should not surprise us—the beginning of the story of humanity in Genesis 1-2. Voices from the Church The proper understanding of everything in life begins with God. No one will ever understand the necessity of conversion who does not know why God created us. He created us "in His image" so that we would image forth his glory in the world. We were made to be prisms refracting the light of God's glory into all of life. Why God should want to give us a share in shining with His glory is a great mystery. Call 2 it grace or mercy or love – it is an unspeakable wonder. Once we were not. Then we existed – for the glory of God! — John Piper [Desiring God, Bethlehem Baptist Church, 1996, p. 55] 1. We bear God’s image in how we rule over the world (Genesis 1:26-31) [1291] 26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, the whole earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth.” 27 So God created man in his own image; he created him in the image of God; he created them male and female. 28 God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and every creature that crawls on the earth.” 29 God also said, “Look, I have given you every seed-bearing plant on the surface of the entire earth and every tree whose fruit contains seed. This will be food for you, 30 for all the wildlife of the earth, for every bird of the sky, and for every creature that crawls on the earth — everything having the breath of life in it — I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good indeed. Evening came and then morning: the sixth day. MAIN POINT: Our understanding of humanity is easily distorted and often debated today. Perhaps the greatest barrier to understanding our humanity is that our quest for perfection and worth drives us to focus on our deficiencies—what we perceive to be wrong with ourselves and where we fall short of our idealized standard of beauty and value. We are keenly aware of these deficiencies and desperately want to remove them. If you have ever taken a group picture you have experienced this. It’s nearly impossible to take a great group photo because inevitably someone will not be happy with how he or she looks in it—even if everyone looks great from your perspective. We are drawn to our imperfections—real or perceived. And so when it comes to understanding who we are—who God made us to be—we start there instead of with God’s design and purpose revealed in Scripture. We begin with what’s wrong only because we assume that we know what’s right—what we are supposed to be like. What it means to be human. We think we know what the essence of true humanity is, simply because we are human. Who understands humanity better than us? And that’s the problem. Just because we are humans does not mean we understand what is at the core of humanity and in the position to determine what gives us the value, purpose, and meaning we long for. But this is what is going on around us every day. We live in a world seeking to define and redefine humanity, and where human rights based on the definition of the day are paramount. The positive result of this is that we are more attuned and responsive to the humanitarian crises and injustices all around us, such as racism, male chauvinism, police brutality, slavery, and sex-trafficking. But the flip side of this is that our culture is more confused than ever about what it means to be a person—to be human. And that confusion can easily reverberate into the church. So with our culture’s shifting landscape of humanity bombarding us from outside, and our focus on what’s wrong with ourselves plaguing us from within, it is easy for us to forget that God has provided a definition of humanity. We find it not obscured within the pages of Scripture, but at the very beginning of the story—in the creation account. As we reach the sixth day of creation, we see a shift in the narrative. God’s language changes. The details increase and we are given an explanation of not just what God created, but why as well. It is within this shift that we begin to understand humanity and discover what gives us worth and purpose: being created in the image of God. Being image bearers of God is a core doctrine, evidenced by the fact that is the first thing mentioned about humanity. This doctrine doesn’t just 3 teach us about ourselves, but about God as well. God is the main character of the story of Scripture, therefore, any understanding of who we are doesn’t start with looking at us, but Him. Our identity, our worth, our purpose comes from Him.

OVERVIEW Tongues on Fire are a must-read for those who want to experience the bap- tism of the Holy Spirit with the gift of speaking in tongues. Authored by Pastor Leslie Barnett who writes from experience having been involved in the 1970s “New Prophecy Movement” Pastor Barnett’s story begins with 18th century evangelist John Wesley, who paid heed to visions and supernatural encounters that occurred in the lives of Methodists of his day. Throughout his life he gathered stories of how God was revealing Himself in the lives of His people, and gave much thought to their meaning. The author explains; that when the Holy Spirit was being poured out with the speaking of tongues families were reunited, long-severed friend- ships reconciled and hearts flowed together in true fellowship in the Lord. And even more than that, along with the spirit of unity and love came the spirit of sacrifice and the wondrous spirit of liberty.

  • Take Off Your Mask So I Know How Much to Tip You
    Take off your mask so I know how much to tip you. Service Workers’ Experience of Health & Harassment During COVID-19 DECEMBER 2020 ONE FAIR WAGE THE UC BERKELEY FOOD LABOR RESEARCH CENTER PROFESSOR CATHARINE A. MACKINNON PROFESSOR LOUISE FITZGERALD BARRY COMMONER CENTER FOR HEALTH & THE ENVIRONMENT QUEENS COLLEGE, CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK EDITORIAL SUPPORT PROVIDED BY TIME’S UP FOUNDATION i. OVERVIEW COVID-19’s devastation of the service sector has been well documented, including the closure of thousands of independently-owned restaurants1 and the unemployment, underemployment, and impoverishment of millions of food service workers nationwide.2 Destitution among workers can be traced in large part to the subminimum wage for tipped workers, still $2.13 an hour at the Federal level. A legacy of slavery,3 the subminimum wage for tipped workers persists in 43 states, and has subjected a largely female workforce of servers, bartenders, bussers, and others to economic instability and the highest rates of sexual harassment of any industry for decades.4 With the pandemic, 60% of tipped workers reporting being unable to access unemployment insurance because their subminimum wage was too low to meet minimum state thresholds for benefits qualification.5 Now, thousands of tipped service workers are returning to work as many restaurants have re-opened for indoor dining. No previous study, however, has thoroughly docu- mented service workers’ experiences of returning to work in restaurants during the pandemic. Understanding these workers’ experiences is critical not only to address- ing the needs of these workers and their families, but also to stemming the growing public health crisis.

Contact: [email protected] 1 The Lost Songs of Somerville By Scott Cerreta 2 I And a one, a two, a one, two, three, four. Remember me? I used to be the face of America, at least according to the painted cover of a once famous magazine. You’ll remember the picture if I show it to you: I’m the kid in the middle with the chipped tooth, a small flag planted in one young fist and a dying sparkler in the other; I’m sitting on a grassy hill with my family and some neighbors and the picture’s perspective is that of being just downhill looking up at us; our faces, still glowing with wonder, are all staring up into a darkening evening sky filled with fireworks which are, at that moment, in exact full neon blossom. Can’t find the likeness? Well, it was a long time ago and though some of us do, I guess most of us don’t, as children, much resemble our eventual adult selves. Anyway, the face of America wasn’t really me, it was our town, Somerville, they were referring to, back when this country was still knowable enough that one could imagine its true essence being found in such a small and simple space.

  • I Introducción
    I INTRODUCCIÓN 12 1.1. Antecedentes históricos En 1981, un joven Salman Rushdie, escritor indo-paquistaní exiliado en Londres, ganaba el Booker Prize, el más prestigioso de todos los premios literarios en el mundo anglosajón, con su obra Midnight’s Children . Que una obra literaria escrita por un inmigrante recibiera la atención de la crítica no era novedoso. Ya otros, como Sam Selvon ( The Lonely Londoners , 1956), George Lamming ( In the Castle of My Skin, 1953) habían suscitado algún interés dentro de un país que a partir del año 1948, con la llegada del buque Windrush desde el Caribe británico, había abierto su política migratoria a los habitantes de sus colonias, que venían a la antigua metrópolis para buscar una nueva vida y cubrir la necesidad de mano de obra en la economía británica. También V.S Naipaul había conseguido ganar el premio Booker en 1971 con In a Free State . Pero Rushdie representaba, con sus reflexiones intelectuales y con la estética rupturista de Midnight’s Children , con su magistral manejo del realismo mágico, la capacidad literaria renovadora que venía de las antiguas colonias. 30 años después, tiempo suficiente para evaluar el impacto histórico de aquel hecho, la importancia de Midnight’s Children no ha disminuido un ápice. Tanto es así que en 1993 y en 2008 recibió el “Booker de los Bookers”, ediciones especiales para celebrar el 25 y 40 aniversario de este premio, reconociendo a la obra como una de las más influyentes de las letras en lengua inglesa de las últimas décadas. Salman Rushdie cuenta en su ensayo “Imaginary Homelands”, publicado en 1982, cómo se fraguó esa obra literaria después de una visita a Bombay, la ciudad en donde había crecido.
