Characteristics of Our Father
Mark Palmer · July 26, 2026 · 10:00 AM service
Mark Palmer works through a list of character traits of God the Father, showing from passage after passage that He loves, cares for, forgives, understands, accepts, satisfies, pursues, pardons, heals, redeems, and renews His children. Beginning at John 3:16 and moving through Psalms, Isaiah, Jeremiah, and the Gospels, he stresses taking ownership of sin, letting God reason with us and walk us out of it, and waiting on the Lord for renewed strength. His practical counsel throughout is simple: read your Bible and pray a lot, and brag on God rather than on yourself.
“Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”
