Characteristics of God
The Characteristics of God series has been the most impactful for me personally, and it is also my most-viewed study by far. As I researched the characteristics of God, I split the characteristics into 6 categories and wrote an overview post on each category. I’m also working through each characteristic individually over time—still a long way to go on those! Someday, maybe I’ll turn them into a book.
This series has changed the way I view God and how I read the Bible. As I read the Bible, I’m constantly seeing God’s character on display. I know I will never fully understand everything that God is, but this study has significantly expanded my understanding.
This series has also changed the way I pray. Being able to more easily see God’s character in Scripture brings me a greater awareness of who He is, and I have found that my prayers are often more focused on praise and worship for who He is than a litany of requests that I want God to answer for me. I encourage you to read through this study and have your eyes opened to more fully understand God.
Here are the overview posts:

The study on God as Judge was my most-viewed post for a long time and was the first to hit over 20k views. Recently, Reasons why God is Worthy overtook it, and it has already reached 25k views! My prayer is that these studies will help people connect with God in a new way.
The other aspect of the Characteristics of God study that I love is the resources that go along with it. Each overview post includes a Bible Bingo card with 25 passages of Scripture that explore that category more completely. These verses are the bulk of the verses I am exploring in my Transforming Verse of the Day plan for this year.
You can find these Bible Bingo cards here:
Each individual study that has been completed also includes a word search and a comprehensive list of verses associated with that characteristic. You can find these at the post above as well.
Lastly, I want to highlight just a couple individual lessons that have over 1,000 views. It’s worth reading through the entire series, but so far these have been the most popular.
