You Don't Have to Understand Everything to Trust God
You can't fire God. You can't replace Him. And when He does something you don't understand, you don't get an explanation — you get an invitation to trust.In part two of our series, Who Is God?, Pastor Keith walks through the book of Job and the story of Jonah to unpack what it means that God is self-existing, self-governing, and answerable to no one, and why that should actually bring comfort, not fear. Scripture: Revelation 22:13 | Job 38–42 | Jonah 4 | Genesis 18:25 | Deuteronomy 32:4 | Isaiah 55:8–9 | Psalm 111:7–8 | Lamentations 3:22–23In this message:• Why God's response to Job wasn't an explanation — it was a revelation of His greatness•"Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?" — Job 38 and the limits of human understanding• Why Jonah got angry at God for being merciful, and what that reveals about our own hearts• Three unshakable anchors: God loves, God is just, and God is omniscient• Why we often see God through the filter of our own expectations instead of who He actually is• The full weight of His character: merciful, gracious, faithful, good, just, and righteous• Why "his thoughts are not your thoughts" is actually the most comforting verse in this message• His mercies are new every morning — no matter how badly yesterday went
