What do you think of when you think about God? He is Father, Provider, Healer, Protector, and yes, Savior. God is a Person and has graciously revealed Himself personally so you can begin to recognize His voice and follow Him. He loves you and desires to communicate at a soul-level, in the secret place deep within your spirit, a place where no one else can go. The psalmist says: “O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me” (Psalm 139:1). So the question is, who is God to you personally? What is the credo of your heart? What do you believe about God?

Lack of Spiritual Authority
July 23, 2017 • Dr Charles Kyker
There are few things more heart-warming than to see loving families reunited after being apart—to see a soldier return home after a tour of duty and an emotional family embrace, or to witness a couple on the brink of separation find strength to love again and forgive. Sadly, there is nothing more painful to see than for families to be separated by divorce, sharp disagreements, greed, pride, or infidelity. In the beginning God enjoyed fellowship with His children. But instead of trusting God, Adam and Eve believed the lie of a serpent and separated themselves from their Father. From that point forward all of creation was cursed resulting in pain and suffering still felt today. Yet, God in His mercy has not abandoned His creation. Through His Son, our heavenly Father has made a way for reunion and restoration.
The Church

God’s kindness is meant to turn us away from sin (see Romans 2:4). We often think our job is to bring people into the doors of the church, but quite the opposite. True followers of Christ are appointed to make house calls, to go where the need is like Jesus did, and share the kindness of our Savior.
Resurrection - Holy Spirit

As a proclaimer of the Gospel to the Mediterranean world, Paul saw first-hand how some people would believe and some refuse to believe. He saw the Spirit drawing men and women to faith, and giving people ears to hear, eyes to see, and hearts to accept the gift of forgiveness in Christ. He saw others harden their hearts and refuse the Lord altogether. Regardless, Paul was always ready to share his personal story of faith and the message of Christ to a lost world—from the least to the greatest.
