Unmasking the Father

When most people think about God, they see their father. Not their Heavenly Father, but their actual earthly father, father figure, or major caregiver. It all happens subconsciously of course, but this mask we put on God has tremendous impact on how we think about and relate to him. In this teaching we look at the parable of the grouchy neighbor and discover a God that's similar and yet profoundly different than we expect. We also look deeply into the specific ways the homes we grew up in can skew our views of him as our good and loving Father. What kind of mask do you tend to put on God? And what your next step toward bringing the real you to the real him?
