Our lesson this morning was about "What is God Like?" Some of the answers given by the class were strong, awesome, forgiving, creator, gracious and all knowing. In the first part of our lesson (Romans 1:19-20) we learned "what can be known about God is evident among us. From the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen being understood through what he has made." The second part of our lesson comes from Romans 1: 21 - 25. In these verses we see that in-spite of God's grander, man has rejected him. Buddy preached this morning about how one day our world will fall away from God and even the church. It is a scary thought, but as Christians who believe in God's word we know this to be true. That is why it is important now more than ever to believe God's word and stand by its truth. We also learned about 4 distinct aspects of God.
1. God as a spirit (John 4:24) (Psalms 139: 1-12). God is omnipresent and around us always.
2. God as a person/personality (Psalms 2:4; 7:11; 35:1) (1 Peter 5:5). These verses give us examples that define God's personality.
3. God is Holy and Righteous. We discussed how the word Holy is a word only suitable for God. That Holy is a broad and undefinable word much like our God.
4. God is Love. Joey used a great example here about how he thinks of God is love like family. If you stop and think about it, the unconditional love that we experience here on earth is with our family. Friends, co-workers, classmates will come and go but the love for our family is always there and always unconditional.
So the question to ask yourself this week as we celebrate the coming of fall and the wonderful things God has given us in nature and our lives is "What is God like?". I think He is the most awesome person we could ever meet and I feel privileged to know him and have an unconditional relationship of love with Him!

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of time." Matthew 28: 18-20

Prayer Requests for October 4th
Yesterday we learned about relationships with two examples: John 4:6-15 and the book of Philemon; Yes it does exist, it is between Titus and Hebrews. It is important that we make a commitment to our relationships whether it be a marriage, friendship or family member and uphold that commitment. The woman at the well had a hard time with commitment (hence her five marriages). When Jesus spoke to her she was able to see the importance of commitment by giving her life to Christ. In Philemon, Paul was writing to Philemon and asking him to accept Onesimus back as a believer in Christ after he had stole from him. Philemon honored Paul's request and made a commitment to mend his relationship with Onesimus. This week reflect on the relationships in your life and see if there may be a commitment that needs work.

Prayer Requests for September 20th
Yesterday we learned about Psalms 105 & 106. Psalms 105 talks about God's faithfulness to His people, while 106 talks about Israel's unfaithfulness to God. God's covenant extends to us through the death of his son Jesus Christ. God remained faithful to Israel through the covenant he made with them. We need to be faithful to God and not let our life responsibilities make us feel burdened. God does not disapprove of us taking care of those responsibilities. He looks at them as an opportunity to share His faithfulness with others.

Prayer Requests for September 13th
Today we learned about Psalm 9 and the Celebration of God's justice. What is justice? With the suffering that exists in the world, how do we define justice? As David writes the Psalm, it is hard to not think about the injustice David faced with Goliath and King Saul. At the end of the day, God rules with justice to those who call on him. We may not think of it as justice on this side, but as believers knowing what lies ahead for us in heaven can help us make sense of the suffering here on earth. (Psalm 9: 1-12)
