Faith,
What kind of God do you believe in?
Sometimes, I worship a Not-Enough-God. I look at my current reality and list all the deficits I see and all the future deficits I imagine. I then bring those worries as a sacrifice to a Not-Enough-God, fully confident that my Not-Enough-God does not have enough to deal with my Not-Enough circumstances. Do you resonate?
I certainly wouldn’t blame anyone for not praying to a Not-Enough-God. I wouldn’t worship a Not-Enough-God, and I would never go to a church that serves a Not-Enough-God!
Thank God for the Bible! The Bible never tells the story of a Not-Enough-God. It rather tells the story of a More-Than-Enough-God! It tells the story of a God who is “able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine” (Eph. 3:20)! This is why we are on an expedition with Jesus through the book of Genesis remembering once again (or for the first time) the faithful acts of our More-Than-Enough-God in the lives of real people. We will see Him again this Sunday as we find ourselves in God’s story of Abraham—the Father of Faith!
I pray you will join us and bring a friend! We worship an amazing God who is crazy in love with you!
In Christ alone,
Pastor Brad
