Small Group Questions (Whole Group):
Imago Dei Small Group Discussion Starters:

1. Listen to the David Crowder Song PRAISE THE LORD.
   Discuss: In what ways have you tried to shape God into the image you imagined/wanted Him to be? In what ways has God not met you expectations? In what ways has He proven Himself to be better than you imagined?

2. Read Ecclesiastes 3:11. What does it mean that God has "put eternity on our hearts?"

3. Discuss: What are the ramifications of shaping your worldview BY OBSERVATION versus BY REVELATION?

4. Read Colossians 1:15-20. Find and discuss the various qualities, roles and positions attached to Jesus. What does He have to do with us understanding the image of God? See John 14:6-14.

5. What role does the church play in Imago Dei? "We are not here to refine the image of God, we are here to reflect the image of God." See 2 Corinthians 2:14-16.

6. In C.S. Lewis's Prince Caspian, Lucy (the youngest of the children) says to Aslan (the lion who is the Christ figure) upon seeing him after a period of absence: 
      Lucy to Aslan - "You're bigger."
      He answers, "That is because you are older, little one." 
      "Not because you are?" she responds. 
      "I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger." answers Aslan.
   Discuss: Are you finding God to be bigger and more satisfying as you continue to grow in the faith?
