THERE ARE NO STUPID QUESTIONS

If You Could Ask God Anything - Part 1 | June 9, 2024

The Mother of All Questions:

If God is REAL, what is He LIKE?


Paul Goes to Athens 

24 “The true God is the Creator of all things. He is the owner and Lord of the heavenly realm and the earthly realm, and he doesn’t live in man-made temples. 

25 He supplies life and breath and all things to every living being. He doesn’t lack a thing that we mortals could supply for him, for he has all things and everything he needs. 

26 From one man, Adam, he made every man and woman and every race of humanity, and he spread us over all the earth. He sets the boundaries of people and nations, determining their appointed times in history.  

27 He has done this so that every person would long for God, feel their way to him,  and find him—for he is the God who is easy to discover!  

28 It is through him that we live and function and have our identity; just as your own poets have said, ‘Our lineage comes from him.’ 

-Acts 17:24-28 (TPT)

3 Clues to God’s Character: 

  • Nature

  • Scripture

  • Jesus

HOW TO FIND WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR:

1. Embrace God’s MAJESTY AND HUMILITY

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.    -John 1:14 (NIV)

2. Engage fully in your own JOURNEY

Ask

Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.    -Matthew 7:7 (NLT)

Expect

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.    -James 1:5 (NLT)

Respond

Find your delight and true pleasure in Yahweh, and he will give you what you desire the most.    -Psalm 37:4 (TPT)
