God Doesn't NEED You — But He WANTS You
from Center Bethel Church Hosted by Center Bethel Church
Somewhere along the way, the church quietly shifted from worshiping God to asking what God can do for us. This message is a wake-up call back to who He actually is.In this opening message of our new series, Who Is God?, Pastor Keith takes us to Acts 17 and Paul's confrontation with the idols of Athens to challenge one of the most common blind spots in the modern American church: a God who has been slowly reduced, redefined, and made comfortable.📖 Scripture: Acts 17:16–28 | Genesis 1:1 | Colossians 1:16–17 | Isaiah 40:5 | Revelation 21:1–3 | 2 Peter 2:1, 3:3–4 | Romans 1In this message:• Why "brokenness that needs healing" and "sin that needs forgiveness" are not the same message• How new age thinking has quietly filtered into modern Christianity without anyone noticing• The two foundational truths about God: He has no beginning, and He needs nothing• Why God doesn't need you — but wants a relationship with you anywayThe difference between the God we think He is and the God He says He is• Why theistic evolution and other popular ideas are modern-day "unknown gods"• How we quietly moved Jesus from being the "pearl of great price" to being a means to a good life• What's coming in Revelation 21 — the day God's dwelling place is finally with manThis kicks off our new series, Who Is God?
