The Attributes of God

- Season 1

(2014)

How can we know God if we don't know who He is and what He is like? In the first part of this series, Steven Lawson provides an overview of God's defining attributes and invites us to pursue a more intimate and worshipful relationship with Him.

Unlike finite humans, God has neither beginning nor end-He isn't dependent upon anyone or anything. In the second part of this series, Steven Lawson helps us understand the limitless abundance of God in contrast to our own neediness.

God is immaterial, invisible, and infinite. Humans are material, visible, and finite. In the third part of this series, Steven Lawson explains what it means to affirm that God is a spiritual being and why this aspect of His character is so crucial.

Who is the author of history? Who controls the future? In the fourth part of this series, Steven Lawson examines the nature and extent of God's sovereign rule and how this can bring us comfort and hope.

To many people today, holiness is a foreign concept. However, holiness is one of God's most prominent attributes. In the fifth part of this series, Steven Lawson helps us understand how this truth should change the way we approach the living God.

God can be in two places at once. In fact, He is everywhere at once. In the sixth part of this series, Steven Lawson demonstrates that there is no place in heaven or hell, nor the entire universe, where God is not present in the fullness of His being.

The Internet has given us access to an increasing amount of knowledge. However, we do not know everything. In the seventh part of this series, Steven Lawson considers what it means to affirm that God knows everything-past, present, and future-absolutely perfectly.

From a blade of grass to the stars of the sky, everything and everyone is dependent upon God's immeasurable power for its existence. In the eighth part of this series, Steven Lawson explores the nature and extent of this incomprehensible power.

How many times a day do you change your mind? Unlike us, God never changes His mind or His course of action in the world. In the ninth part of this series, Steven Lawson presents God as an immovable rock and the only sure anchor in an ever-changing world.

Truth is not subjective. God's truthfulness is absolute and objective. In the tenth part of this series, Steven Lawson examines what is a radical and countercultural view to hold in today's world.

The foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom. In the eleventh part of this series, Steven Lawson discusses the unsearchable wisdom of God and shows how His wisdom has been revealed in creation, providence, and salvation.

If we face hardships in this life, does that mean God is not good? In the twelfth part of this series, Steven Lawson explores what is means to say that God is good, and how God's goodness is seen in the world.

God's grace should both flood one's heart with thankfulness and love for Him and provide a model for how Christians should treat their neighbor. In the thirteenth part of this series, Steven Lawson reminds us of this reality as he uncovers the extent of God's grace.

Is love more than a feeling? In the fourteenth part of this series, Steven Lawson looks to the Bible to provide a profound understanding of what love is and to explore the infinite and eternally self-giving love of God.

The foreknowledge of God is often a misunderstood concept. In the fifteenth part of this series, Steven Lawson corrects many false notions to help us rightly understand God's foreknowledge.

Is God angry? Many people today would say no. In the final part of this series, Steven Lawson explains why God's wrath is not only necessary, but how it also serves as a warning to the world and a reason for Christians to pursue a holy life.
