God as Mother

God as Mother

Women in our culture have a confidence problem - most women undervalue themselves (while most men tend to overestimate themselves). Women can find their confidence in the fact that they bear the image of God. While we usually think of God as Father, God often refers to Godself as a Mother in the Scriptures, too. What does it mean that God is both Father and Mother to us? How is the truth that God is both male and female good news to both men and women?

From Series: "Hello My Name Is..."

Who is God? The answers to this most basic human question can be found in the Scriptures. Over and over, God comes to humanity, interacts with us in ways we can understand, and we learn more of who God is. Often in these interactions, the people who met God would give God a name - a way to describe how God had worked in their lives. As we explore these stories, we'll learn that God is the same God for us today. God is our provider, our shepherd, our banner, our peace, our mother and more!

Elements are the basic building blocks of life. Oxygen, Hydrogen, Carbon – the simplest substances that combine to form everything that makes living possible. What are the basic elements of the life Jesus calls “truly life”? In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul tells us that only three things last forever – Faith, Hope and Love.

What are these essential elements? And how do they combine to create our life?
