In Bible times it looked like God was actively in touch with the world, but now he may appear to be like an old man who is unconnected to the world where we live....someone we visit a couple of times a year at Christmas and Easter. Is this the God you are revealing with your life?
We tend to want to make God a system or a formula where if we do the right thing, or ask in the right way we'll get what we want. In this message Pastor Jason wrestles through what happens when this system doesn't work. What is the purpose of prayer and how does God want to relate to us through prayer?
If we view God as a cop hiding around the corner who wants to catch us and punish us for making a mistake, that can have a radical effect on how we relate to Him. What if God's desire toward us to very different from that? What affect can that have on us as we live our lives?
