“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Scripture tells us that God himself is very much unlike us in His ways and we as people have wrestled with this as long as we have existed. At the very beginning humans began seeking to gain knowledge but did so foolishly (Gen 3). This Winter Retreat we will take a look at the mystery of God and how puzzling this was, and still is, to so many people across time. What does it mean to know something? What use is it knowing anything? How does Knowledge of God and His ways affect us? How does it affect the way we see one another? Come and join us as we take a deep dive into scripture and into the mysteries that it holds December 15-17th at this years Winter Retreat.
