Psalm 145-great picture of who God is
He is not a He
The concept of the trinity-in future weeks
He lives in heaven,
He also inhabits the earth
Psalm 24
1 The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;
He is omni present
He owns a lot of stuff
Psalm 50--Owns the cattle on 1,000 hills
10 for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the field are mine.
12 If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
Trustworthy
No bait and switch
Linus and Lucy and the football
Trustworthy
Doesn’t try to catch you on a technicality
Balam vs Balak, Israelites vs Moab,
Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?
God is Loving
1 Jn 4
7Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
Misconception: Hello this is God, straighten up by Friday, or else
We live in fear
Something bad happens to me….why did God do this to me
Reality: I love you. I grieve with you. I am here for you. I love you.
Who is god? What should our relationship with him be like?
Two scientists were on a field trip in the mountains. They discovered a baby eagle in a nest on a jutting rock, just below the top of a dangerous cliff. The eaglet had been deserted, and they wanted to rescue it. They asked the young son of their guide if they could lower him on a rope to fetch the little bird.The boy was not at all enthusiastic about their plan, so he declined. They offered him money, then doubled it, but still the boy refused.Finally, one of the scientists asked in despair: "Well, then, how do you propose that we save the baby eagle?"The mountain boy replied: "I'd be glad to go down to rescue the bird for free if you'll let my dad hold the rope."
Is he a friend or a foe. You must decide
If your life is primarily about you and your comfort, then he will feel like a foe, but if you put your trust in him, and let him be Lord, then you will find that relationship that you have been seeking
Is he a friend or a foe. You must decide
Kelsey Smith’s parents………
God why did you let this happen?
God, don’t your protect your people?
Kelseys mom said that we weren’t going to think about Edwin Hall, he wont be allowed to take anymore of our heart.
Conclusion
If you do not know the God who is trust worthy, the God who loves, I invite you today to let go of false Gods and receive the one true god.

God is, Part 2
Fatherhood of God
Wont leave you
Doesn’t beat you
Sees the good in you
Helps bring out the good
A father disciplines those whom he loves
Allows challenge so you can grow
Without challenge, life is meaning less
June 17- orphans of God
God is- part three
A friend
I will never leave you or forsake you
Friend that sticks closer than a brother
No longer call you servants but friends
June 24….not from Kris….the battle is the lords
