POWERFUL MULTI-LESSON STUDY
Made In His Image
Objective: Know Him and His plan for you; Make Him known. Goals:

1. Learn God’s actual attributes.
2. Be able to discern His handiwork and methods: love, faith, charity.
3. Recognize the enemy’s activity and plan.
4. Follow God in our relations to Him, others, and self.

Solution: By learning who God is and what He is like, what looks like Him and His handiwork, we can then know what we are like and what we should be and how our actions should look. This was written concerning the youth in our church who were focused on their physical appearance and were forgetting their spiritual health, God’s plan, and their calling to serve in His power.
