What does it mean to be made in the image of God? In this opening message of our Summer Reading series, guest preacher Pat Batten teaches from Genesis 1:26–28 and explores one of the most foundational truths in Scripture: every human being is created as the image of God. Through Scripture, personal story, and reflection, Pat reminds us that our worth is not based on our work, achievements, relationships, abilities, or circumstances. Our value comes from who we are: God’s image-bearers, created by Him, known by Him, and deeply valuable to Him. Whether life has gone according to plan or taken an unexpected turn, knowing who we are helps us wherever we are.
