What is God like anyway? As students set out on the spiritual journey, this is one of the first questions they will want to know the answer to. Unfortunately, we Youth Leaders sometimes present an image of God that is little different than the one they see on the Simpsons, Joan of Arcadia or in movies like Bruce Almighty. The God we present is more like Santa Claus than the Yahweh of Scripture. How can we turn that around? The Apostle Paul makes the claim that sanctification (the process of becoming more like Jesus) happens one degree at a time as we SEE the image of God. The problem is: If what we are seeing ISN’T God, than we are probably not changing at the rate we should be. The objective of this series is to help students SEE God as the Bible presents Him; not as Hollywood depicts Him. In this session, we want to ELEVATE OUR VISION OF GOD.
