Week 3 Share it

Seek to know God's Names and Character
Week 3 – SHARE It!
---------------------------
Objective: Seeking to know God's Names and Character
through a Word Search in the bible.

Key Verse: God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps
reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one
of us. Acts 17:27

NLT Study Bible: God is known in his creation, and he is close to every one of us. But he is not trapped in his creation - he is transcendent. God is the Creator, not the creation. This means that God is sovereign and in control, while at the same time he is close and personal. Let the Creator of the universe rule your life.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Names and nick names tell a little bit about who we are or how
others may see us.

God has many names. They tell us more about WHO He is
(Creator). Some are endearing and like a sweet expression of love
(Comforter or Father). As we get to know God through seeking His
names and attributes throughout the Word, it will bring us into a
sweeter, more intimate relationship with Him.

---------------------------

So, how do you get to know those sweeter things of God? To keep it
simple, I like to relate it to how I get to know a new friend.

Make a list of how you would get to know a new friend.
I ask them a million questions.
I go to dinner with them or the movies.
Spend time with them.
What else?

One way is to Seek Him with your eyes through the Word – your Bible!

If we seek out KNOWING God in the Word – like we would
complete a fun word search game, we WILL find God’s names that
define his character. Let’s get into the word to DISCOVER the
names of God…just like a WORD SEARCH!
