Thy Kingdom Come - Our Father, Part 1

About this episode

Pastor Ricky discusses the contrast between the God of Israel and the false gods created by men, emphasizing God's love and presence among His people.

The gods that men create and imagine typically have power and authority in a form that men wish they possessed. These fake gods often sit on a pedestal, above their worshippers. They rarely, if ever, come down to the level of their subjects. Yet, as Pastor Ricky points out, the God of Israel loves to be amongst His subjects. He loves us so much that He endured the agonizing pain of the Cross, equating Himself with the lowest level of humanity. This type of love simply doesn't exist in the gods of man.
