Blurred Visions Of A Loving God

What if your view of God has been distorted and you didn't even know it?

In this powerful message, Krista opens with a stunning personal story: her daughter spent the first eight years of her life unable to see clearly, and no one realized it. The eye doctor's words stopped her cold: "Your daughter has been living in a fun house. Her vision of everything has been distorted."

Krista believes the same is true for many of us when it comes to how we see God.

In this sermon, Krista tackles four of the most common misunderstandings about God's anger, and the answers might surprise you! Is God passive and permissive, or harsh and terrifying? Neither. Krista unpacks what Scripture actually says about divine anger, including a striking truth from Romans 1: when God is at His most angry, He doesn't strike with lightning bolts – He simply steps back and lets us have our way. And that, she argues, should give us pause far more than any thunderstorm ever could.

Drawing from Exodus 34:6, Krista reveals how God describes Himself: slow to anger, filled with unfailing love and faithfulness. She brings this ancient text to life with raw honesty and unexpected humor, showing that God's anger is never selfish, never volatile, and never out of control. In fact, God's anger is actually proof of His love because we only get angry about the things we care about most.

But knowing the truth about God's anger is only the beginning. Krista then walks through three powerful blocks that keep us from seeing God as the loving Father He truly is: shame, trauma, and our earthly fathers. Whether you've spent years hiding your failures, carrying wounds from your past, or struggling to trust a God who reminds you of a father who let you down this message speaks directly to those pain points with compassion, honesty, and hope.

This sermon is for anyone who has ever wondered where God was in their darkest moment, questioned whether they are too far gone to be loved, or found it hard to believe that God is truly good. Krista's message is a vision test and an invitation to finally see God for who He really is: a loving Father who is slow to anger, outraged by your pain, and relentlessly pursuing you with unfailing love.

Don't let distorted vision keep you from the love you were made for. Watch, and let God restore your sight!
