Individually Unique (2 of 5)
Series: God in The Mirror
Miles McPherson
Message Recap:
Every single one of us is a very special unique individual. God made us all in His image so that when He looked at us, it would be as if He were looking in the mirror. In this series, we will examine five aspects of God’s I.M.A.G.E.
Individually unique
Moral mirror
Authority to rule
God’s friend
Eternal
(1 John 3:2, 1 Corinthians 13:12, 2 Corinthians 3:1)

Moses then asks God who is sending him. What is the name of this God who calls him?
