Who is God?

We are a self-obsessed people. We are not talking about any specific people group or community. We mean us: all of us. We are obsessed with who we are. 

We find ourselves in an enneagram number, a Meyers-Briggs result, a social media comment, a well-meaning but poorly received comment. We are constantly on the lookout for what makes us, us. 

But what if we've been looking to answer the wrong question? What if answering who God is will ultimately lead us to know who we are meant to be?

Over the course of the next four days, we are asking ourselves perhaps the biggest question there is: Who is God? Sadie Robertson Huff will lead us to discover how what He says about who he is informs who we are and how that changes everything.

If we were to ask, “How do you identify yourself?” How would you answer?

Maybe you would say your workplace or school, or your friend group or church. Or maybe you fall back on your interests, the hobbies that unite you with others. Or the thing about you that you wish you could change.  Or maybe if we pose that question, you would respond with holy confidence, proclaiming that you know who you are and who you are in Christ. Either way, our identity is no light work.

As we look at what defines us, we find that what makes us who we are is not what we do or where we go. Rather, what makes us who we are is who God is. 

We don’t need more tests, more activity, more knowledge of self. We need something bigger. We need to ask a different question.
