God Is Forgiving + Sunday Morning Resources
“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”
A.W. Tozer
If you were asked to describe God, what would you say? How would you describe Him? Every one of us views God through our own personal lens based on our experience with Him or from people who claim to associate with Him. We have many different ideas of who God is that were formed by culture, media, family, religion, and personal experience.
But how do we know we have a correct view of God? If it’s really the most important thing about us, then it’s vitally essential that we have an accurate view of God. Even though we’ve not seen God, we do have clear and understandable descriptions He gave us about who He is and how we can experience Him. God has revealed Himself, and He wants to be known by you.
In the Old Testament book of Exodus, Moses asks God to reveal Himself, and God answered that request through a self-disclosure statement.
“The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in
steadfast love and faithfulness, maintaining steadfast love to thousands and forgiving
wickedness, rebellion, and sin. Yet He does not leave the guilty unpunished…
Do not worship any other god, for the LORD whose name is Jealous,
is a jealous God.” Exodus 34:6-7a;14 NIV
I encourage you to journey with us as we gather on Sunday mornings and consider the most important thing about us – what we think about God. We will study eight of His attributes that define His never-changing, consistent, and trustworthy character. There is no greater pursuit in life than to have an accurate understanding of God and experience a life-giving relationship with Him. Our faith and hope are founded on knowing God for who He reveals Himself to be.

We’re eager to continue our God Is series on SUNDAY by focusing on God Is Forgiving. Do you want to experience freedom from guilt? Do you want to restore your joy and excitement for life? Are you ready to get rid of the burden of shame? If you are, you’ll want to make sure to join us in person or online this week as we look at our forgiving God. Many people view God as harsh, angry, and unpleasable. But that’s not how the Bible portrays Him. In God’s self-disclosure statement that we’ve been considering the past few weeks, we’ve been presented with a different picture of God. He’s compassionate, gracious, patient, and abounding in love and faithfulness. When God looks at you, His eyes are filled with love.
We’ll be celebrating and observing Communion this Sunday. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to be held in His mercy and grace.
In this series, we’re considering God’s description of His character and nature as described in Exodus 34:5-7. You might want to read those verses before Sunday and ask God to begin preparing you to hear from Him. He wants us to know Him, but to know God requires more than just knowledge. Knowing God involves a personal and relational experience. Truth is good, but not alone. Knowing God is about relationship, and relationship only exists within the context of ongoing intimate encounters, shared experiences, and emotional interaction. That’s what God wants, and when we engage with Him personally and relationally, we’ll find the God we’ve been looking for.

I hope to see you Sunday because we all want to know we can stand firm on God's promises in His Word.
