Women of Welcome: What Does the Bible Say About Immigration?Sample

# Throughout the entire arc of Scripture, we see our heavenly Father focused on one very specific thing: people. Every human being that has ever lived on this earth has a Savior who was and is dedicated to their flourishing. No matter where we’ve been, what we’ve done, what we look like, or where we live, he just keeps coming for us. Why? Because he fashioned us to bear his image and reflect something unique and beautiful about his character to those around us. His prioritization of people isn’t just about one special group in a specific area of the world. Every single person and their story matter to God. We are all set apart from the rest of creation and fully capable of reflecting his glory simply because we are human. Thoughtful Questions 1. What do we know about God? What is he like? What do you think it means to be made in his likeness? 2. How might your relationships and interactions change if you intentionally considered that every person you encounter is made in the image of God? 3. As we choose to see people as God does, is there a person or group of people that feels more challenging for you to see through this lens? 4. How do you think God sees this person or people group? What does Scripture say about who they are?
