Description

We explore the widespread misconception of an angry Father God and how this distortion fundamentally affects our relationship with Him and others.

• The way we view the Father determines how we view Scripture and receive things from Him
• Many Christians have been taught God is furious with humanity and Jesus shields us from His anger
• This courtroom drama mindset divides the Trinity and makes God look like the problem
• Jesus didn't come to save us from an angry Father but to reveal the heart of a loving Father
• When Philip asked to see the Father, Jesus responded "Have you been with me so long and not known me?"
• God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself—they were working together, not against each other
• God's wrath is not His character but His loving opposition to what enslaves us
• The God you believe in will be the God you reflect to others
• Fear-based teaching works for control but never produces love
• Understanding the Father's true nature sets us free from striving and shame

Let the angry Father mindset fall away and believe what Jesus said: "The Father Himself loves you."
