Meet God (Before You Die)

Two questions haunt us: Is there a God? and What is God like? Interestingly, the Bible doesn't focus on the First Question; it is all about the Second Question (What is God like?). That is the question we really want answered. Come, meet God (before you die).

We want to know not just that God exists, but our hearts long for an "encounter" with the Living God, to plumb the depths of intimacy with Him. Jesus shows us exactly what God is like, and He is so much more seeking, loving, powerful, and near than we could imagine. Each of us will meet God when we die, but God comes to encounter you now (before you die), so that you can begin enjoying in this life the fullness of the life to come.
