God Is Refuge | God Is Week 1

God is refuge. He is the definition of the word. Adam Barnett starts our series, God Is, looking at four aspects of God’s character by reminding us that God’s wings are big and powerful. Refuge God Is | Week 1 August 5, 2018 | Adam Barnett Psalm 46:1-3 NIV God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. Psalm 46:4-5 NIV There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. The city is safe not because of walls, weapons or strategies, but because of GOD’S PRESENCE. Psalm 46:6-9 NIV Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth. He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire. Life is FRAGILE, but in the end, God is FAITHFUL. Psalm 46:10-11 NIV He says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
