Lesson 1 | Who is God | See the Invitation

We all have an image of God that we’ve developed, likely even subconsciously, from the experiences and relationships that have shaped us most over time. For some, the walk of the Christian faith may be an all-out attempt to not make any mistakes for fear of disappointing an exasperated or fed-up God. Others may see God as moody or judgmental and domineering — just waiting to deal out strike three and break any potential for reconciliation with Him that may take place. These distorted images of God hinder our spiritual walk and perpetuate a sense of shame that seems inescapable. How would your faith change if your perspective shifted and you learned that God isn’t distant, puppeteering, or judgmental — but rather is relational? God delights in our relationship with Him and invites us to draw close and follow. He invites us to a seat at the table and reminds us that we are His beloved.
