This week, Adrian Turner begins a new preaching series by exploring the fundamental question: Who is our God? The message delves into God’s nature as the Creator of the universe and His profound desire to call each of us into a personal relationship with Himself. We learn that God’s strength is perfected in our weakness, encouraging us to develop trust and dependency on Him. The sermon journeys from the creation story in Genesis, highlighting the Garden of Eden as a sanctuary designed for humanity to learn and grow, to the consequences of disobedience and the spiritual death that occurred. Adrian then unpacks God’s ongoing purpose for humanity, described as a global drama leading toward eternal life and a new creation. He outlines the stages of spiritual development and transformation, from new birth to becoming mature “fathers and mothers in the faith,” capable of reproducing themselves through mentoring. The ultimate goal of this journey is resurrection, where we will be completely transformed into the image of Christ, incapable of sinning and immortal, finally able to enjoy God’s immediate presence. The message concludes by urging us to adopt a big picture vision of God’s collaborative purpose, much like a stonemason who understands they are building a cathedral, not just shaping a stone.
