Every book of God’s Word reflects the same truth: God Created You to Love You! No matter if you have walked with God for years or are just looking into the reality of God’s love, this study will deepen your hunger for this God of intense love!
Welcome to the transformed podcast.
Dr. Matthew Lee Smith, lead Pastor at Pacific Baptist Church in El Segundo, California encourages us today with the truth God wants to bless you! So many people think of God as some celestial traffic cop, waiting to blast them when they do wrong. The Bible paints a totally different picture. God is in Heaven looking for men and women who want to be blessed.
Let’s open our Bibles now to Genesis 22 as we discover five different people God blessed in this lesson and reveal their secrets to receiving God’s abundant mercy and kindness in their lives.

Perhaps you would you consider sharing this message with a friend? God longs to release the captives of our culture into the freedom of faith. Thank you for your consideration!
If you would like to explore how you can experience the love of God in a deeper, more real way, Dr. Smith has written a book to take you to the next level!
In His Image explores God’s great love for humanity from every book of the Bible. From the creation of Genesis to the culmination in Revelation, God’s love shines through every page. Never is this ever clearer than in the times of Israel’s great betrayal of their God. His passionate pursuit of His children can be heard dripping from his voice as He calls them (and us by proxy) back to His shelter and protection.
