We're going to begin a new series and the title of the series is God is and then just dot dot dot.

It makes a difference what you think about God and what you believe about God.

And there are a lot of people who believe that God is mean or that God is mad.

Some people believe that God got mad in the Old Testament.

And so he sent his prophets and we didn't listen to him,

so he got madder. And then he sent his son and not only do we're not listening to him, but we killed him.

So now he's really mad. And then he said that he gave us a book and if we don't do what's in the book, he coming back and then he'll be really really mad, you know.

So it's very important to what you believe about God.

So I'm going to talk to you over the next few weeks about God is.

I've been studying the nature and the character of God

for almost 40 years now and I feel like that there are so many people that have been taught incorrectly

about who God is. And so I want to help you understand that God is good, that

God is kind, that God is merciful, that God is gracious, and even when

that God is just, but even in his justice, he's merciful. So we're going to

talk about that, all right? So this the title of this

message is enjoy the ride. Now you won't understand that until just in a few

moments okay in order for me to to

share this message with you I'm gonna share an illustration something that

happened on our family vacation.

And I'm going to show you some pictures and some video and you're going to like it.

Hopefully you'll never forget,

this is just a chance to show family video.
