Amos 1:2

- Oratio--Prayer, conversing with God about the passage and how God wants us to respond
- Contemplatio--Contemplation, resting silently in God's presence
- Journal your experience of the text and the Lectio Divina
TUESDAY NIGHT BIBLE STUDY

Current Study: The Prophecy of Amos
Prep Homework, due Mar 20

- Prepare to share your findings at the Tuesday Night Bible Study.

Current Topic: Playing With Fire, by Walt Russell
due Mar 18
- Read at least pages 24-57.
- Write a short summary of the reading
- Ask at least two questions for which you actually want the answer.

2007 GLOBAL PROJECT: We're buying a farm for Christmas!
Goal: $2470
So far:
What do you get when you give two pigs, two alpacas, two sheep, two cows, and two goats? The satisfaction of providing new hope and lasting impact for up to 10 families in need around the world! These farm animals will bring smiles to the faces of moms and dads who will be able to feed their children and increase their family incomes, thanks to you. The next best thing to seeing a child milk, shear, or care for one of these animals is to share the joy of this gift with someone close to your heart.
Save your pocket change (even the paper kind!)
and bring it to Collegium or Tuesday Night Bible Study each week.
and bring it to Collegium or Tuesday Night Bible Study each week.

Our role in God’s creation
* We were created to reflect God’s image (1:26).
* We were created to rule over God’s creation (1:28). Psalm 8:3-6
God’s image seen is us
* Personality – a mind, will and emotions
* Sexuality – male and female (v. 27)
Why is this emphasized?
* God is declaring that neither the male nor the female is of more value than the other.
* We need each other, male and female, to fully experience and display the image of God
+ Morality – a conscience discerning right from wrong
+ Spirituality – an ability to relate to God
God creating us from dirt (2:7) Psalm 103:13-14
God-given opportunities and responsibilities
* God gave to Adam a garden - Eden. (2:8, 9).
The word Eden means “delight.” Revelation 2:7; 22:1-2
* God gave Adam a command.
* God gave Adam a wife - Eve.
o to provide companionship
o to provide partnership
o to provide a God-designed match
God’s image in our lives Colossians 1:15-16; Romans 8:29
