Is God Really Like That? (3 of 6)
Series: Heartbeat
Pastor Jeff Schreve
Psalm 16
Well, if you have your Bibles, please turn to Psalm chapter 16, Psalm chapter 16. We're in a series called "Heartbeat: Becoming a Person after God's Own Heart." And today, I want to speak to you on a message I have entitled, "Is God Really Like That?" Now, as we begin, I want to ask you a question. It, I believe, is a question that you've never really thought about, most of you in here. I hadn't really thought about it until recently.

And He's grieved you know, over the world, because the world is going in the wrong direction. And just like it says in Genesis chapter 6 when God looked out on the world, and every intent of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually, that the Lord was sorry that He made man, and He was grieved in His heart.
