     | 7,743 views

    This is an introduction to the series. How we see affects our relationship with Him and the way we live. Our view of Him is affected by how see Him and how we think He sees us. We must not assume that God is just like us or reduce Him to human terms.

    [Adapted from Chip Ingram’s book God: As He Longs for You to See Him.] We are starting a new series called – God: as He Longs for You to See Him. Why is there a need to see God rightly?

    Worship costs us, changes us and equips us. It is resting in God's presence, reflecting God's glory and being ready to move in power.

    THE WAY OF WORSHIP A missionary was working in Paraguay with the Maka Indians. One day a native named Rafael came to sit on the porch.

    What God Is Looking For…

    Contributed by Thomas Bowen on May 7, 2009
     | 2,236 views

    After seeing the disciples of Jesus hiding in the upper room it is hard to imagine that they had any vision of their own. That is why it is important to understand how God sees things and what he is watching for.

Jesus appears, it would be easy to claim that that fixed everything for the disciples. But it did not; we know that if we read through the different ...read more
