What God is Really Like

A growing number of Christians today are wrestling with the question: What is God really like? It’s understandable. For many of us, the God of all-encompassing love we were taught to sing about as kids seems quite different from the God our church taught us to believe in as adults. Is God merciful and compassionate? Is God judgmental and punitive? Both? How can we know? Should we just believe what feels good to us? What is God really like? In today’s sermon, we’ll look at one amazing Christian belief that we so often miss: God has already, decisively answered our question about what God is really like! The answer is surprisingly simple. And it’s extraordinarily good news. Join us for this second part of our series, ‘Creed.’ 

The Apostles’ Creed:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord;

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, dead, and buried;

the third day he rose from the dead;

he ascended into heaven,

and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic [meaning ‘universal’] church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting. Amen.
