What Is God Like?

This assembly is based around the accompanying Powerpoint file (so you'll want a video projector and laptop to use this assembly in its completeness). Otherwise, we've provided it as a PDF for you to put onto Overhead Transparency.

This could as easily be used as a Children's Talk in a church service.

Notes

You may want to add in pictures to the Powerpoint slides according to the headings. If not, one suggestion is to get some cheap masks from a shop around the themes of the headings of what God might be like. The headings are:

- Is God like an Alien?
- Is he like a Victorian schoolmaster? (You will likely need to explain this)
- Is he like a fisherman?
- Is he like a donkey?
- Is he like Santa Claus?
- Is he like a movie star?
- Is he like a super hero?

Is he like an Alien?

No!

The Bible says - “Come near to God and he will come near to you” (James 4:8)

Is He like a Victorian school master?

No!

The Bible says - “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Is He like a fisherman?

No and Yes!

“Come, follow me, Jesus said, and I will make you fishers of men.”(Matthew 4:19)

No!

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you” (Matthew 7:7)

“If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!” (Matthew 7:11)

Is He like a movie star?

No!

“And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death, even death on a cross” (Philippians 2:8)

Is He like a Super Hero?

No and Yes!

“Even to your old age and grey hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.” (Isaiah 46:4)

If we want to know what God is like, we must look at God’s Son, Jesus Christ

The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. (Hebrews 1:3)

He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
And he is the head of the body, the church;
He is the beginning and the firstborn
from among the dead,
so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in Christ,
and through him to reconcile to himself all things,
whether things on earth or things in heaven, by
making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
