Genesis 37:1–50:26 | God guides his creation in ways that are both seen and unseen. He is kindly directing and perfectly working his plan for both his glory and for our good. Because of God’s sovereignty, we look ahead, trusting wholeheartedly and humbly accepting that God is skillfully carrying out His plan in His own manner and timing. We worship as we look forward, holding fast to God’s promises and His character, knowing that He’s working all things for His glory and our good.The sovereignty of God also compels us to reflect in awe and worship at how God, through His wisdom and kindness, made good on His promises and managed to knit everything together for His glory and our good. This divine sovereignty pushes us to reflect on God’s character and accomplished work.

Isaiah 6:1–13 | God is holy. Those three words have weight. In the words of AW Tozer, "God’s holiness is not simply the best we know infinitely bettered. We know nothing like the divine holiness. It stands apart, unique, unapproachable, incomprehensible and unattainable. The natural [person] is blind to it. They may fear God’s power and admire His wisdom, but His holiness they cannot even imagine. Only the Spirit of the Holy One can impart to the human spirit the knowledge of the holy.” Throw the book of Isaiah, let's approach the unapproachable, attempt to comprehend the incomprehensible and attain the unattainable.

Psalm 93:1-5 | We know that God is king, but what does that mean? If we could see God in his majesty, how would that change our lives? This Sunday we look to Psalm 93 to understand more deeply the majesty of God and the impact understanding his greatness has on our lives.

1 John 4:7-12 | In the classic book Knowing God, J.I. Packer writes, "No subject of contemplation will tend more to humble the mind than thoughts of God...But while the subject humbles the mind, it also expands it." We begin our God-ness of God Series with our eyes pointed squarely on the attributes of our God. We start with a look at his love. As we sit under the love of God, may our hearts be both humbled by his great love for us and expanded to sit in wonder of what a loving God we have.
