#181 – ╫ The Character of God: How Do You View God? - Torah Portion: Say [PODCAST]

How do you view God? And do you view Him the same way the disciples did 2000 years ago? Do you view Him the same way Moses did? And do you view Him the same way Jesus did? Either they all viewed God differently because God changed over time, or God never changed and all they all viewed Him the same. The way you perceive God will impact the way you live your life. Maybe you grew up in a church where God was proclaimed as an angry God always out to get you. Or maybe you grew in a church where God is a gracious and loving God that doesn't require holiness nor repentance; and never executes judgment.
