Perceptions Form Relationships

This was the video introduction to our new series entitled “This Is Our God.” I loved going back to the neighborhood I grew up in to shoot this video with Matt. I’ve got lots of great memories from Central Avenue.

I don’t think anyone would argue that our relationships are formed by our perceptions of each other. The story I told in the video above of the Ormond family is one of hundreds of examples I could give of how this has played out in my life.

And our relationship with God is no different.

Nothing in all of life will impact your relationship with God like the way you think of God. Everything in your life consciously or unconsciously comes back to one thing: Whom do you visualize God to be in your heart?

So in this message series and the blogs I write on this topic my main goal is to get you to ask yourself two questions:

1) What do you think about God?

2) What do you think He thinks about you?

If you’re looking for another resource to help you go a little deeper with this topic I’ve found Chip Ingram’s book God: As He Longs for You to See Him to be a great resource.
