| Summary: | Imagination is a powerful shaper of our values and of the way we interact within our contexts. We instinctively form an imagination about the nature of the world, of God, of other people, and of our own selves. A variety of influences offer to shape the foundational imagination out of which we engage the world. In Scripture, we find generative images for creating a worldview that bends Godward. This sermonic reflection explores three overarching images for shaping a biblical imagination: Generous Creation, Redemptive Incarnation, and Compassionate Reconciliation. |
