God Is

In this powerful message, we're challenged to reconsider our approach to faith and how we view God. The central theme revolves around embracing the complexity of God's nature - He is not confined to our formulas or expectations, but is a 'both/and' God. We're reminded that while we live in an 'either/or' world, our Creator transcends these limitations. The speaker draws from various scriptures, particularly highlighting Exodus 34:6-7, where God describes Himself as both merciful and just. This paradox invites us to anchor our tensions in God's truth, rather than trying to fit Him into our limited understanding. As we face life's challenges, we're encouraged to shift our questions from 'why,' 'when,' and 'how' to 'who' - Who is God in this moment? This perspective can transform our faith journey, allowing us to see God's presence in both joy and grief, in the miraculous and the mundane.
