Abstract

This project was designed to edify believers in their knowledge and understanding of the character of God at Placerita Baptist Church in Newhall, California. This preaching series consisted of twelve sermons preached from February to May 2009. The project began with a statement of need for a God-exalting series on the attributes of God. Chapter 2 established the biblical and theological basis for the preaching series. My purpose was not to expound every attribute of God in Scripture but to focus on several key attributes which are controversial: God's wrath and the doctrine of Hell, his sovereignty over all things, his knowledge of all things, and his immutability. In chapter 3, I described five goals of this preaching series. In chapter 4, I concluded with an evaluation, combining qualitative and quantitative research methods, gleaned from congregation and focus group before, during, and after the twelve-week preaching series. The feedback received proved invaluable in my understanding as a shepherd and pastor. The findings were very encouraging. The congregation grew in their understanding of God's character revealed in Scripture. I was pleased by the ongoing transformation that took place in the focus group as they interacted weekly with the presentation of God's attributes.
