"The God You Can Know," emphasizes the importance of a personal relationship with God rather than just knowing about Him (1:59).
Key points from the sermon include:
• Knowing God vs. Knowing of God, Pastor Ryan differentiates between knowing facts about God and having a personal, daily relationship with Him (2:02). This personal knowledge is described as a relationship that is "personal, real, and daily" (2:45).
• God is Personal and Reveals Himself God is not distant or hidden; He desires to be known and is actively involved in the world (4:37). Eternal life is defined as knowing God and Jesus Christ (6:05). God reveals Himself through scripture, His Son, and the Holy Spirit (6:59).
• God's Attributes The sermon details both God's natural and moral attributes (9:08).
• Natural Attributes include being eternal, self-existent, immutable, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, infinite, sovereign, spirit, invisible, and immortal (9:35).
• Moral Attributes include being holy (pure, without sin), righteous and just, faithful and true, good, merciful, gracious, love, long-suffering and patient, jealous (righteously protective), wrathful against sin, compassionate, and forgiving (10:51). Pastor Ryan particularly emphasizes God's holiness (11:12-13:53).
• Pursuing God Requires Action Getting to know God is not accidental; it requires intentional effort and time (18:09). Practical ways to pursue God include:
• Daily scripture reading and meditation (22:05).
• Intentional and ceaseless prayer (23:08).
• Heartfelt worship that engages the heart, not just the lips (24:12).
• Fellowship with other believers who also pursue God (26:34).
• Intimacy with God Transforms You A close relationship with God changes a person, aligning their priorities, decisions, and actions with His (27:13). It is an experiential knowledge, not just intellectual (27:50).
• Salvation as the Gateway to Knowing God The sermon concludes by stating that a personal relationship with God is only possible through His Son, Jesus Christ (32:33). It explains the concept of salvation through admitting sin, believing in Jesus as Savior, and calling out to Him (the ABCs of salvation) (36:05).
