The God You Already Know
The God You Already Know
Acts 17:22–31; John 14:15–21
What if faith is less about finding a distant God and more about becoming awake to the sacred presence that has been with us all along?
In this sermon, Rev. David Wheeler explores a more life-giving way to understand God’s power — not as control from above, but as persuasive love within and surrounding all things. For anyone who has struggled with inherited images of a God who causes, allows, or controls suffering, this message offers another faithful way to imagine God: not distant, not coercive, but near, relational, and always calling creation toward healing, justice, connection, and life.
This is a sermon for the doubting, the deconstructing, the quietly wondering, and anyone still searching for a God who looks like love.
Preached May 10, 2026, at New Covenant Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Oklahoma City, OK.
