SFC Moscow Tuesday Fellowship Hosts Pastor Terrence Hall; The Details!

It was a much anticipated meeting, an extraordinary Tuesday, a special meeting with Pastor Terrence and Jill Hall amongst us. It was obvious that it wasn't to pass just like that, and the atmosphere did live up to its billing.

Still pressing ahead with our study for the month, Pastor Terrence took out time to explain man's quest for identity: the image and the likeness of God. He drew attention to Genesis 1:26, where we see two distinct aspects of God in us: His Image (which is the spirit in us or what we are from the inside) and His likeness (the outward expression of Godly similarities).

In the most humorous and relaxing mood, Pastor Terrence gave new life to this image that we have. Our image knows no fear because our likeness is of God. He knows everything about us, even before we were formed. And because the image is tempted with what it doesn't have, the sin in the garden brought death to both image and likeness of God in man. But we thank God for Jesus, who has extended that same strong love that exists within the Trinity to us. Isn't it amazing to know that the love the Father has for Jesus is not stronger than the love Jesus has for me?! So blessed to be blessed and remain in that love!.

Above all, in answering the question: 'Who am I?', we can confidently say, "we are people in the love of God, created in His image and likeness, purposed to abide in His love and exhibit that same amount of love one to another".
