DECONSTRUCTING THE WRONG GOD | Pastor Matthew Johnson

In this final message of a seven-part series, Pastor Matthew Johnson delivers a direct and compassionate challenge to anyone wrestling with their faith. Why do people deconstruct? Most often because God did something unexpected, confusing, or undesirable. But Pastor Matthew asks a harder question: are we deconstructing the right God? He argues that our culture has quietly made us the center, training us to expect God to operate on our terms. The real deconstruction needed is not of the creator God, but of self-idolatry. Drawing from Hebrews 11, Philippians 4, and 2 Corinthians 10, Pastor Matthew offers four practical suggestions for building a faith that holds when life gets hard. If you have ever felt disappointed, confused, or frustrated with God, this message is for you. 🌳 The Tree Church | Lancaster & Logan, Ohio Sunday Services: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM 👉 Missed our previous Sermon?
