How can we know what God is like?
Summary
The sermon explores the transformative power of Scripture, comparing the Bible to a surgeon's scalpel that reveals and reshapes our inner desires while also providing spiritual nourishment. Drawing on imagery from Psalms about a deer thirsting for water, the message emphasizes daily communion with God through studying His word as a means of deeper fellowship and understanding. The key message is that without Scripture, humans are spiritually lost and prone to creating gods of their own imagination, but through consistent engagement with the Bible, believers can be shaped, strengthened, and conformed to God's character.
