Whether you are here in person or engaging from home, we are thankful you have chosen to worship with us today. If it is your first time, welcome! we would love to get to know you better. Would you consider filling out our Next Steps card and let us know you stopped by?

At Grace Family we focus our worship on Sunday to impact our lives every other day of the week as well. We also believe no one is perfect but everyone is welcome to worship God with us. So, no matter where you're from, what you've done, or what your week has been like, let's worship God and learn from His word together today.

Can we know God?

If we could understand everything about God, we would be God.

Jeremiah 9:23-24

"This is what the Lord says:

“Don’t let the wise boast in their wisdom,

    or the powerful boast in their power,

    or the rich boast in their riches.

24 But those who wish to boast

    should boast in this alone:

that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord

    who demonstrates unfailing love

    and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth,

and that I delight in these things.

    I, the Lord, have spoken!"

Our knowledge of and relationship with God is more valuable than any wealth, wisdom, or power.

In what ways are we unlike God?

God is Eternal

Romans 1:8

"8 Let me say first that I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith in him is being talked about all over the world."

God is Unchanging

Psalm 102:25-27

"Long ago you laid the foundation of the earth

    and made the heavens with your hands.

26 They will perish, but you remain forever;

    they will wear out like old clothing.

You will change them like a garment

    and discard them.

27 But you are always the same;

    you will live forever."

God is Omnipresent

Psalm 139:7-10

"I can never escape from your Spirit!

    I can never get away from your presence!

8 If I go up to heaven, you are there;

    if I go down to the grave,[a] you are there.

9 If I ride the wings of the morning,

    if I dwell by the farthest oceans,

10 even there your hand will guide me,

    and your strength will support me."

Even if you want to hide from God, there is nowhere you can go to lose his presence.

In what ways are we like God?

We are Spiritual

Romans 8:15-16

"15 So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children.[a] Now we call him, “Abba, Father.”[b] 16 For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children."

Our spirit is not material, but it drives our decisions and desires in material ways.

We are Loving

1 John 4:7-8

"7 Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. 8 But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love."

We are Blessed

Zephaniah 3:17

"For the Lord your God is living among you.

    He is a mighty savior.

He will take delight in you with gladness.

    With his love, he will calm all your fears.[a]

    He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”"

John 15:9-11

"9 “I have loved you even as the Father has loved me. Remain in my love. 10 When you obey my commandments, you remain in my love, just as I obey my Father’s commandments and remain in his love. 11 I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy. Yes, your joy will overflow!"

Our relationship with God is at its best when we are delighted with one another.

Allow who God is to make sense of life.

Allow who God is to make sense of you.

How can we know God?

John 14:6-7

"6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. 7 If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is.[a] From now on, you do know him and have seen him!”"

Ephesians 3:12

"12 Because of Christ and our faith in him,[a] we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence."

Humble yourself. (Give Him control)

Honor Jesus. (Love what He loves)

Hunger. (Turn up His voice)

How do I need to give Jesus control?

How can I honor Jesus?

How can I hunger for who God is?
