What is God like? (Part 1)

What is God like? (Part 1)

What would you wish for if you knew it would come true? Perhaps a new or restored relationship, health, wealth, or freedom from some difficulty or besetting sin? What if we could have all of the above, but without the presence of God – would we be satisfied? Too often, we’re tricked into substituting God’s good gifts for God Himself. Our fixation on the gifts hinders us from finding the deep satisfaction that can only come from truly knowing Him. Will we join together to seek a deeper encounter with God’s glory, a greater sense of His presence and goodness in our lives? Or will we be distracted by, and settle for, lesser things?

Talk It Over

Visit npberean.org/group-resources for more group resources or to connect.

Treasuring God: Why should we study the characteristics of God? What benefit is it to our walk to know what God is like?

Being Transformed: Where does God's compassion and grace come in our life? What does this change about how we live life?

Loving Others: Seeing that God shows us grace and compassion, who are we called to show grace to? Who are the people we have the toughest time showing grace and compassion to?

Pursuing Unity: Where does today's sermon work together with Romans 14:1-23? Why is it sometimes the hardest to show compassion and grace to those nearest to us?

Next Week's Sermon

A.W. Tozer once wrote, "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." As we continue to sharpen our understanding of God's character, we'll delight in the mirrored qualities of God's compassion and grace: his abounding loyal love and faithfulness.
