THE THREE PRIMARY DESCRIPTIONS OF GOD’S BEAUTY (REV. 4; REV. 1; SONG 5)

The purpose of this session is to provide a general overview of God’s beauty. We will bring three key passages together into ten categories so as to give a road map to study God’s beauty.

Revelation 4 gives us significant insight into God’s beauty. It describes the Father’s Throne Room in the Holy of Holies of the New Jerusalem. I refer to this as the “beauty realm of God.”

I have outlined Rev. 4:1-7, into five main categories with each having three specific themes (totaling 15… Read the rest of the story

GOD’S MISSION STATEMENT: TO PROVIDE AN ETERNAL COMPANION FOR JESUS

6 I heard…the voice of a great multitude…saying, “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! 7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” 8 To her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. 9 He said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’” (Rev. 19:6-9)

JESUS REVEALED THE FATHER

The Spirit is calling the Church to encounter the Father. From the beginning, God has had a father’s heart and wanted to share His love with a family. The cry of our heart is to see the Father. The message of the Father’s heart transforms our heart and delivers us from strongholds.

7If you had known Me, you would have known My Father…8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” 9 “…He who has seen Me has seen the Father…” (Jn. 14:7-9)
