God loves to exceed our expectations and break our boxes.

Today's topic does just that.

As we end our week, today we're exploring God's attributes that make him a fun, joyful father.

Let's allow God to reshape our notion of him

and free our hearts up to enjoy just how good God really is.

He is better than anyone we've ever known,

and it's my hope today that we can see that with clear eyes. Welcome to the First 15 podcast. podcast. Our scripture for today comes from Psalm chapter 30 verses 11 and 12.

Scripture says,

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing.

You have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,

that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.

O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever.

There is a terrible misconception in the church today,

that our Father is not a fun God.

For most Christians, what they know of God comes through worship services

rather than direct encounters with the living God.

As the body of Christ, we have not cultivated a culture of restored relationship well.

But regardless of faults in the church today, God longs to give you a revelation of how

incredibly fun it is to have him as your father. He longs to guide you into a lifestyle of abundant joy

as you grow in your relationship with him.

While God's fun may look different than the world,

every form of fun apart from his is a cheap imitation.
