June 7, 2009’s Sermon
Who is God? And what is He like?
If God can be known, what is He like? Who is He that we can recognize Him? How do we know God? God has a particular nature than can be known and known intimately.
God is love-- experienced by us in grace and forgiveness. We know Him by how He interacts with us in grace and forgiveness.

June 14, 2009’s Sermon
Who is God, that We Can Know Him?
God as Judge – Sovereign, passionate, wise and powerful
He is judge, jury and executioner; He does not hand the guilty party off to another to execute the sentence; this is where He is omnipotent, to condemn the guilty to eternal punishment
