Our Personal Redeemer
When you think about God, what ideas come to mind? Perhaps you see God as a great deity somewhere far away. Perhaps you think of God as a personal confidant of your most intimate hopes and hurts. Perhaps when you think of Him you see a loving and kind father ready to be there for you at a moment’s notice, or perhaps he is a mighty warrior, fierce and powerful beyond measure!
Each one of us has certain ideas about who God is and what he is like. And these ideas shape more than just our understanding of Him; they shape our Christian behavior and the way we engage with Him. They shape our thoughts and emotions as we go through the ups and downs of life, and they shape our understanding of our very selves.
Over the next three weeks, we are going to see three messages that paint a picture of the basic beliefs about who God is and what he is like. We hope these messages will set a firm foundation for the essential character and nature of God and that from this foundation we can be the people God wants us to be.
