Something for Everyone

Awe: My dog

Fear & Delight combined by the attention we give

Creation declares the glory of God to all men.

Don’t lose the wonder

, 28-30

The Word of God gives rewards to all men.

God’s word in its story (testimony), principles (guidance) and commandments (ethics) gives life and restores us to our true selves.

It touches everyone who hears it and rewards everyone who obeys it.

Part of the function of God’s Word is to warn because we all have lost our awe of God.

Ezek 37:1-6

All men are responsible to God, but the wise man asks for righteousness.

God provides heat to everything and can see even the heart. Are you in awe that he knows your thoughts and ways?

Hidden faults

Sins of pride - let them not have dominion

Church - All men who need their awe of God in creation and the Word. Those who have found the one who restores our awe of God.

Christ in all of Scripture

God and His Word must have our awe… Not our 401k, our possessions. Not the news cycle or the coming elections. Not your professors or your degree. Not what people think of you and what they might say of you. Not even your own ideas of right and wrong.

Romans 3:23-24

Jesus has provided righteousness. You must ask for it.

Where’s your heart? Practicing awe in creation & in the Word

You can’t say with integrity, “I long to know Jesus more.”

You’ve begun to see your Christianity as a restriction rather than a joy.

Something (or someone) excites you more than Jesus does.

You don’t grieve your sin like you once did.
