The True and False Self: Filled with all the Fullness of God

 

Series Overview

As followers of Jesus, we must travel the inner distance between “believing” and “knowing.” The Apostle Peter believed in the mercy of God. But on a beach, over a charcoal fire, with the resurrected Jesus, Peter knew the mercy of God. Through encounter with Jesus, belief can move from the head to the heart and become a deep, relational knowing. In this way, we will know the love of Jesus and be filled with all the fullness of God.

In the Old Testament narratives, children’s lives are shaped (and reshaped) by the blessing their parents give to them.
