GOD – Who He is… and why it matters
The Power of God
August 28, 2022 • Ken Harrell
When it comes to power, “all” is THE word to describe our God. He is all-powerful. We want power, and we strive for power, but we’ll never come close to having—or even fully comprehending “The Power of God.” His power wasn’t attained, it isn’t just a part of Him, and He doesn’t turn it on and off… God’s power is Who He is… 100% of the time.
The Love of God

We’ve made love a common word, but there is absolutely nothing common about “The Love of God.” And though we use it to describe human emotion, it pales in comparison to the reality of our God. He doesn’t just feel love or say, love… He is love. He doesn’t grow to love or quit loving… He is love. His love knows no limits, and it’s never conditional. And the second we are tempted to question “The Love of God,” He reminds us we need only to look to the Cross.
The Mercy of God

Not getting what we deserve… in the simplest of terms, this is the definition of mercy. But “The Mercy of God” is anything but simple. It’s vast… incomprehensible… and God wants us to understand it so we can begin to change the way we see Him and interact with others.
The Holiness of God
August 7, 2022 • Ken Harrell • Isaiah 6
God is love… God is merciful… God is just and so much more. But in the Bible there is only one attribute of God that He wanted to be emphasized above the rest. Because it’s His holiness that is at the very center of who He is. It’s out of His holiness that everything else flows. And it’s only when we begin to grasp “The Holiness of God”, that we can see ourselves as we really are.
The Unchanging God

God is…love…holy…powerful…faithful…all of this and infinitely more. But before we can ever attempt to grasp the attributes of our God, we need to nail one fact down. He’s “The Unchanging God”. The God of the Bible didn’t develop these attributes over time. He can’t increase or diminish His character. What He said in Malachi 3:6 is still true today, “I am the Lord—I do not change.”
