The Attributes of God

Jesus says in Mark 12:30 the first commandment of all is to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind and with all your strength." (NRSV)

This course exists to build up the mind of the Christian through discussion and application of the attributes of God. What are the 13 words that would best describe God? The course is designed to achieve the outcome students would:


  • To know the 13 attributes in scripture
  • To be able to recognize its absence in a fallen world
  • To know we experience this attribute as good news through Jesus Christ
     
More specifically, the aim of this course if for students to experience a greater trust in God through the experience of a loving, prayerful community weekly that would lead them to a more pronounced sense of how "thinking like a Christian" relates to their everyday life, and in addition potentially leading them into group leadership of their own.
