What Is God Like?

This coming weekend at Eastbrook Church, we will begin a new series entitled, “What Is God Like?”

“What is God like?” That’s a question many people ask. Some ask it because they believe in God and want to know more. Others ask the question out of skepticism about the God in a broken world. When God’s people, Israel, were under great pressure and then exiled into Babylon, it was a question they asked as well. God called forth the prophet Isaiah to speak timely words into their situation to answer just this sort of question. Join us as we listen to Isaiah bring God into focus.

Here are the weekly message topics and Scripture texts:
