Glimpses of Our God
This quarter we’re going to look at God, at various aspects of Him as they have been revealed to us and at what these things mean for us on a practical level. We’re going to start with some of the “basics,” such as the Trinity—the amazing teaching that God is One God and yet composed of three Persons. From there, we’re going to focus on God as Creator, the doctrine that forms the foundation of all that we believe. Next, we’ll look at His work of redemption, because in a fallen world being created isn’t enough. We need to be redeemed, as well. We’ll also look at God as both a God of grace and a God of judgment. We’ll then look at His holiness, His law, and the Sabbath, all of which stem from the essence of His character and help us understand more about what He is like.
And we also are going to look at some other aspects of God not commonly thought of, such as God as a God of beauty, of history, and even of romance. Among other things, such as prayer and ecology (that is, we want to look at some of the practical aspects of what it means to serve our Lord), we’re going to look, too, at God’s great promise of the Second Coming, which leads to the climax of history and the end of humanity’s horrible experience with sin.
