As the Lord allows, I will continue our series of doctrinal sermons this coming Sunday with a message on what is called, “Theology Proper.” This fancy title simple means what the Bible teaches about God, Himself. I hope to answer two fundamental questions:
How do we know that God actually exists? This is, of course, a perfectly legitimate question. In fact, I would worry about the thinking of a person who has not pondered it! I intend to answer this question in five areas: (1) Jesus says so; (2) The Bible says so; (3) The Impossibility of God not Existing; (4) Design and Congruity in the Universe; and, (5) Personal Encounters!
Some of the key verses we will examine are… John 8:42; Genesis 1:1, 26-27; Psalm 19:1-6; Romans 1:18-20; and 8:28.
What is God like? So if there is a “God” what is He like? I will offer my answer to this under seven headings: (1) He is Spirit; (2) He is Holy; (3) He is both Transcendent and Immanent; (4) He is Immense; (5) He is Complex; (6) He is Beautiful; and, (7) He is Love!
The verses we will explore include Luke 24:36-40; John 4:24; Isaiah 6:1-3; 55:8-9; Romans 11:33-36; Psalm 34:18; 1st Kings 8:24-27; Psalm 27:4; 1st John 4:8, 16.
Yeah, I know that you are thinking… and I am thinking this also – “This may take a couple of weeks!” I am prepared to do this in two consecutive sermons if necessary.
I hope you will read over and pray through these verses and think over these ideas as you prepare your spirit to hear the sermon this Sunday.
I hope to see you Sunday with a smile on your face, your Bible in your hand, and family and friends by your side!

Lanny,
This looks like a great series. Theology proper is neglected too often, and it is a timely subject with the rise of the so-called “new atheism” in society today. I will keep you in my prayers, as you embark on this important series of messages.
