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

Message: God As Presence

Synopsis: Last week we explained that God is relational. This week we explore his presence to us. When someone is "there for us" they affirm their relationship to us through personal being. Throughout scripture, this is one of God's most frequent assurances, from the Father ("I will be with you") to Jesus ("And surely I am with you always") to the Spirit ("he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever"). More specifically, we'll look at some of the ways we experience his presence, namely as epiphany, as intentional "tuning in", as general awareness, and in suffering (as silence).

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.

Message:Room for one more/ Wings of Refuge

Ellen preached the Word to us this Sunday! Since the wings of God’s shelter extend far enough to include outsiders who seek refuge in them, we as believers are called to be the extensions of his wings in our families, churches and communities in order that all people may experience God’s gracious hospitality. Ruth demonstrates this for us and moves us towards the truth.
