Greetings Flag Branch members and friends and thanks for taking the time to join me for some Fine Points from yesterday’s service and message “In Search of the Invisible God”.
Invisible does not mean nonexistent. Many things exist that cannot be seen. While we see the effects of wind, the wind itself is not visible. Many things exist on the microscopic level that are barely seen with microscopes and some things can’t be seen with them.
Nevertheless, they affect our lives and did so long before we knew anything about them. The radio waves that bring us visual and audio content on our televisions, radios, computers, phones and other devices travel through space and pass through walls and our bodies unseen. No doubt there are still invisible things we still are unaware of.
The fact is something doesn’t have to be seen or visible for it to be real and exist. The same can be said of God. We don’t have to see God to know He exist. People can look at a scene and tell that something has happen without actually seeing it happen. Not only can a person know something happened at the scene, but they can tell by the facts and arrangement of the scene that something or someone caused it to happened.
When we examine the scene of the world in which we live and look at our own selves within it, we know that something has happened. We also know that there was someone or something that made it happen. God has left His mark upon the world and upon man himself. Yet God chooses to be invisible to those of us who are here in this world. Yet, He invites us to seek Him.
The best starting point for searching for the invisible God is with the life, ministry and work of Jesus Christ. The bible tells us that He is the image of the invisible God. All things were made by Him and for Him in heaven and in earth whether they are visible or invisible. As we grow in our understanding and knowledge of Jesus, we likewise grow in the same of the invisible God.
Uncovering more about the invisible God becomes a daily adventure for those who love Him and seek His face. They pick up each day where they left off the previous day as He reveals a little bit more of Himself to those who diligently seek Him. The best thing is that He will not remain anonymous.
The day is coming when the invisible God will be invisible no longer, but every eye shall see Him. Both those who have been searching for Him and those who didn’t. Those who said He is real, though unseen and those who said He was unreal and didn’t exist.
So many invisible things have always existed and it is just been within the last few years that mankind has either seen them or have become aware of their existence. God has always been and will always be. But unlike many other invisible things, God may still be invisible, but mankind has always been aware of His existence. The evidence of His presence in the things we see all around us and within us is undeniable.

Pastor Jordan
Thanks for the Fine Points on Sunday’s sermon. These segments are always clear and helpful. I purchased two Sunday School commentaries (Boyd and Townsend). I like the layout of Townsend better. Thanks for all you do to deepen our understanding while we’re on this journey.
I loved this sermon! I have heard another sermon similar to this one many years ago. I truly enjoy my future growth under your teachings. I really would like to hear more in-depth teaching on this sermon In Search of the Invisible God because it helps me to grow in the way that God does things in an orderly way. His proof is by the sun, moon, stars, birth of humans and animals. He does this all In Order. I love God and I love you because I truly believe you are one of His Devine teachers
