New Series: CAN YOU RELATE? A Look at Who God Is and How to Relate to Him
Message: God Relational

Synopsis: Simply put, there are two kinds of knowing: We can know about something (abstract, impersonal, propositional) and we can know something through experience (encounter, relational, through the senses); Torrance says that "the nature of the object to be known determines the method of knowing"; both kinds of knowing are valid and necessary in life, but because God is a personal Being, to know God is to interact with him through relationship. God is not a set of abstract principles, or rules, or morality; God is a person to respond to. Through the burning bush Moses encounters a God who hears, speaks, and acts for the good of people; Adam and Eve experience a God who communes and communicates with them in the Garden. We were created for relationship and partnership with a relational God, it is what makes us human.
