Experiencing God, Part 2—by Ivor Botha
February 23, 2025
Sermon recap:
Experiencing God. The Hebrew word "Yada" means to know/ feeling with the heart
How do we get to know God? He makes himself known by displaying his power, his justice, his loving kindness, his word, Holy Spirit and through his forgiveness.
How well do I know God? Our view of God limits us (determined by my relationships, experiences).
Do I have a correct view of God?
*Zephaniah 3:17 God is with us. He delights/rejoices over you with singing.
*Hebrews 2:11 Jeaus is not ashamed of us We make the weak feel dispensable. It's okay to struggle as long as you don't give up.
The cross was his ultimate way to show us his love for us.
If you missed the sermon, you can watch it on our YouTube channel (it starts at 43 mins).
The wilderness is a time of testing and growth, revealing God's purpose, preparing us for more, and calling us to seek Him deeply and intentionally.
Sermon recap:
True joy comes from real community, shared purpose, and love. Resist isolation, love deeply, serve humbly, and stay devoted to one another in unity.
