The Divine Story of Jesus and You: God’s Story

Sermon Quick Summary

      What would we learn if we could interview God? Through God’s self-revelation, someone had already done that and some of what they discovered is in today’s scripture text. We need to revisit the scriptures that captured the essence of God’s story. We will rethink many of the myths and misconceptions we have about God and weigh them against what God has revealed about Himself. Our myths and misconceptions about God include that God is unreasonable, unreliable, unconcerned, and unpleasable. Such ideas about God are wrong arising from no relationship or an estranged relationship with God.

      The essential components of God’s story include the following: (1) God’s self-revelation is necessary for us to get to know God. As God declares “I am the I am.” (2) Reconciliation is indispensable. God invites us to join God on the mission. (3) Restoration is exhilarating. God is making things over again, as God invites us to yield to God restoring us. As we celebrate Father’s Day, out of God’s love for us, let us consider our Heavenly Father’s attributes. God is a caring Father. God is a consistent Father. God is a close Father. God is a competent Father.
