Big Truth:

God is Truth

Proverbs 30:5; Psalm 12:6, 18:30, 19:9; 2 Samuel 22:31; 1 John 5:6

Bible Verse:

“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”

John 14:6

Big Ideas:

  • God not only speaks the truth, He is truth.
  • God defines what is true and false.
  • The Bible is God’s Word, the source of all truth.

Bible Passage:

Daniel 2

Daniel relied upon God as his source of truth and knowledge. When he was asked to interpret King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, he did so using God as his source of truth. Daniel was able to interpret Nebuchadnezzar’s dream because God helped him. We find truth only from God.

Influence:

“God is.” God exists. There is only one God, and He is the only one worthy of our worship and praise. And, by His grace and mercy, He has made Himself known to us. We do not worship one who is distant from us or who is uninvolved with His creation. This series walks through nine attributes– nine realities that unpack who God is. These realities are so foundational that preschoolers can learn them, and yet are so deep that they impact and inform every aspect of our lives throughout our entire lives.

During the summer, elementary through high school are aligned under the same Big Truths, Bible passages, and Big Ideas as we invite families to return to the foundational truths of who God is.
