Undone by a Glorious God
4 CommentsWhat a great service we had Sunday! We officially welcomed into our church 176 new members who have joined in the last eight months. And Jon Smith preached a powerful message on the holiness and glory of God as described in Isaiah’s vision of the Lord seated on his throne. His text was Isaiah 6:1-7.
Options for reviewing and applying the message:
• Listen online or download an mp3.
• Download a summary outline in PDF format.
• Use the following questions for further reflection and application to your life.
1. Listening to Jon’s message, did you realize you had big thoughts of yourself and small thoughts of God? How can you cultivate big thoughts of God and little thoughts of yourself?
2. Jon taught us that each day we are eager to find something that is going to satisfy and delight us. Is God your supreme delight and satisfaction, or has something or someone else replaced Him? How can you return to your first love?
3. When you take time to reflect on God’s holiness, how do you respond? Is God’s holiness both awesome and attractive to you? Does His holiness call forth worship?
4. Why can sinful men and women encounter a holy God without being consumed or destroyed in an instant?
5. What can you do to cultivate a fresh passion for your infinitely beautiful and holy God?
Jon’s message was extremely powerful even though I also heard it at the youth retreat. It appeared that many others were also in awe listening to Jon speak on the holiness of God as evident from the very little movement both throughout the service and during the worship immediately following. I am usually aware of the many people who come and go throughout the service but yesterday was so different…people were still, in awe of a holy God. What an amazing gift from God that Jon is as a teacher.
By Shauna Pier on 02/01/2010Jon’s message was outstanding. I’m now studying the Doctrine of God from Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology so I can get a more accurate view of who God is and how glorious he is. After two days of study, and having been a Christian for more years than Jon has been alive, I’m freshly in awe of our amazing God. Thank you, Jon.
By Paul Medler on 02/03/2010I listened to this sermon last week and my soul exploded with praise to our great God!!!!!!
The Temple
It shook
Like my heart
Shook when I
Met the One
Who has set me
Free to live
Without any fear
What causes no fear
What causes shaking
Glory, Glory, Glory
Hallelujah!!!!
It shook the very
Temple of God
It shook my heart
When You
Shook the very
Thresh hold of the temple
Of what we call
A planet, when You
shook on this Tree
God in flesh
Displaying the Glory
Isaiah saw
By Jonathan Owen on 02/11/2010thank you Jon for pulling my attention to Jesus!
Thank you Jon for directing my attention to our mighty God and Savior! I listened to your message online. The church in the U.S. is in great need of messages that direct us to our Savior and why He is so awesome and worthy to be praised!
