In this Sunday’s sermon, Pastor Ridley Barron took us through a transformative journey to better understand the nature of God with his sermon titled "God Is." He illuminated the profound interaction between Moses and the burning bush, emphasizing God's eternal and multifaceted character, and strongly rebutted the need for any physical products, like the Holy Spirit board, to communicate with God, underscoring the innate human connection to the divine. Throughout the sermon, Pastor Barron urged us to simplify our approach to scripture, focusing on the core message of Jesus Christ and salvation, while fostering a personal relationship with our Creator. By highlighting God's attributes—His omnipresence, omniscience, wisdom, goodness, and faithfulness—Barron reminded the congregation of the invitation to align our lives rightly with God. The sermon closed with a powerful prayer, inviting members to recognize God in his full glory and to embrace the joy He finds in us.
