Opening Question: What is your view of God?

All Loving: Psalm 103:8-12

Key Teachings:

• God’s love is not measured or conditional; it is abounding without limit.

• His love is so great it stretches beyond the heavens.

• This is not a God who tolerates you; it is a God whose very nature is to pursue you with relentless love.

Reflection Questions:

• What is the Bible trying to teach us in this passage?

• When you hear "God's love has no boundaries," what's your first reaction: comfort, skepticism, curiosity, or something else?

All Powerful: Ephesians 3:20

Key Teachings:

• God’s power exceeds anything we can ask or imagine. 

• We serve a God whose capacity has no ceiling, and that power is actively at work in those who trust Him.

Reflection Questions:

• What is the Bible trying to teach us in this passage?

• How does Paul's phrase "immeasurably more" push back against the tendency to put God in a box?

• How do our own limitations influence the way we think about what God can or can't do?

All Wisdom: Isaiah 40:28

Key Teachings:

• When Scripture says God's wisdom is unfathomable, it means it cannot be measured. You will never reach a place in life where God says, "I didn't see that coming."

• This was spoken to people who felt forgotten. Isaiah 40 was written to Israel in exile, a people who questioned what God was doing. 

• God's response was not to explain their suffering but to remind them of who He is. 

• When life feels unclear, the answer isn't always a new explanation; most of the time it's trusting the wisdom of God.

Reflection Questions:

• What is the Bible trying to teach us in this passage?

• How do we typically respond when life doesn't make sense, and how might a bigger view of God's wisdom change that response?

• Which of these three attributes (God’s love, power, or understanding) is hardest for you to trust right now? Why?

Scripture:

Matthew 22:37–39; Mark 12:30

Key Teachings:

• Jesus identified the greatest commandment as total love for God: heart, soul, mind, and strength. 

• This is not one aspect of life; it is every aspect. God is not asking for a piece of your devotion. He is asking for all of it.

• What does it mean to love God in these areas? (explain each aspect: heart, soul, mind, or strength)

  • Loving God with your heart means your affections and emotions are oriented toward Him.

  • Loving Him with your soul means your identity and deepest self belong to Him.

  • Loving Him with your mind means your thoughts, decisions, and intellect are surrendered.

  • Loving Him with your strength means your energy, time, and resources are invested in what matters to Him.

Reflection Questions:

• What is the Bible trying to teach us in this passage?

• Of the four dimensions Jesus named (heart, soul, mind, strength), which one feels the most natural to you, and which one feels the most neglected?

Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11–13

Key Teachings:

• This passage was written to people in exile: displaced, discouraged, and wondering if God had forgotten them. God's response was not to remove the difficulty but to reveal His love and purpose inside it. His plans were bigger than Israel's current circumstances.

• The promise comes with a condition for Israel: "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." The same God who made this promise to a displaced nation expects the same wholehearted response from us today.

• Halfhearted seeking produces halfhearted results. God's vision for your life is unlocked through wholehearted pursuit, not passive hoping.

Reflection Questions:

• What is the Bible trying to teach us in this passage?

• How does knowing that God's plans don't depend on your ability to understand them change the pressure you put on yourself to figure everything out?

• How does the condition attached to this promise, "when you seek me with all your heart," challenge the way you currently pursue God?

• What does “seeking God with all your heart” look like in practical, daily terms for you? Not in theory, but this week.

Read and reflect on the following passages this week:

• Psalm 139:1–18 – God’s intimate, inescapable knowledge of you

• Deuteronomy 6:4–9 – The call to love God with everything and teach it daily

• Romans 8:31–39 – Nothing can separate you from the love of God

• Isaiah 55:6–9 – Seek the Lord while He may be found

• John 17:3 – Eternal life defined as knowing God personally

Closing Questions:

1. What stood out to you most in this study about who God is and how He sees you?

2. Is there a specific area where you feel God is calling you to seek him more? What would that look like starting today?

3. When would you like to meet again?
