Our walk with God cannot rise above our image of Him. Everything we do, the way we see ourselves, others, our work, and the formula for the best life possible is driven by this image of Him. That is why it is so important to see Him clearly.

Session Two: What is He Like?
Session Two: What is He Like? 20:14

To trade up and experience a rich life, we have to learn to live as though God is much bigger and much better than we ever imagined. It does no good to observe the attributes of God unless we live as though those attributes are true.

Some of us picture God as a critical moral policeman. Others see Him as distant or disgusted with our imperfections. Some see God as too busy for us, focused on more important things. The truth is that He is a loving Father passionate to give us the best life possible.

Session Four: Embracing the Truth and Rejecting Lies 18:28

Your image of God is a mixture of truth and error. The more you live the truth and reject lies, the more joy, strength, and freedom you will experience.

Session Five: God’s Passion to Reveal Himself to Us 19:53
