God View - The connection between faith and God's character, as shown through God's Big Story

Since the beginning, God has always been deeply involved in the world. We see God’s handiwork on display in creation. We see God’s love on display through Jesus, who came to rescue us. We respond to God in faith, believing in what we can’t see because of what we can see. When we focus on what we know to be true about God and the world God created, we can have faith in what we can’t see or fully understand. We put that faith into action as we follow Jesus and show His love to the world.

Memory Verse:
”Faith is being sure of what we hope for. Itis being sure of what we do not see." | Hebrews 11:1, NIRV
