Our View of God Shapes our Response to God | Living in His Glory

What happens when we truly see God for who He is? In this message, we explore the powerful moment of Jesus' transfiguration in Matthew 17 and how it reveals two foundational truths about God's nature: His transcendence and His immanence.

God’s transcendence reminds us of His majesty and holiness, elevating our reverence for Him. At the same time, His immanence brings us close, showing His intimate involvement in our lives and elevating our relationship with Him. Together, these truths challenge us to stand in awe of God's greatness while living devoted to His personal and unfailing love.

How should we respond? By surrendering to His eternal presence, living in awe of His bigness, and being deeply devoted to His love. This life-changing encounter teaches us that our view of God directly shapes our response to Him.

What does it mean to truly follow Jesus? In today’s message, "Come and Die," we dive into Jesus’ powerful words from Luke 9:23-25, where He invites us to surrender our lives fully to Him. This call to "deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow Me" is both a challenge and an invitation into a life transformed by faith. Jesus doesn’t just ask us to believe; He invites us to live fully surrendered—to let go of the world’s expectations and embrace a life set apart, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and driven by a purpose beyond ourselves.

We’ll explore what it looks like to say "yes" to God each day, trusting that He can realign our plans, reshape our desires, and repurpose our gifts for His glory. As we look at examples of surrender in Scripture, we’re reminded that Jesus is worth any cost, any sacrifice, and any risk we might take to follow Him.

Making Our Own God Never Goes Well

Episode  |  June 23rd, 2024  |  42 mins 40 secs

bible, bible study, bible teaching, biblical teaching, burnt hickory baptist church live stream, burnt hickory church, burnt hickory worship, christ, christian community, christian faith, christianity, church, church online, exodus, faith, faith journey, god, golden calf, gospel, hope, idolatry, jesus, jesus christ, live sermon, live streaming, old testament, online church, religious education, scripture, sermon, sermons, sin, spiritual growth, study the bible, sunday service, true satisfaction, trust in god, worship

This week, we delve into the pitfalls of idolatry. Drawing from the rich narratives in Exodus, we will examine how the Israelites' creation of the golden calf serves as a stark warning about the dangers of shaping God into our own image instead of worshipping Him as He truly is. We will reflect on how we, too, can fall into the trap of creating our own "gods" in times of uncertainty and stress, rebelling against the one true source of satisfaction for our souls.

This sermon will challenge us to trust in God’s revelation, even when circumstances are unclear, and to expose and surrender our idols to Christ. We will learn the importance of recognizing and fleeing from sin, understanding its inevitable consequences, and grounding our trust in the God revealed in Scripture, rather than in cultural or personal distortions.

We invite you to reflect on these vital questions: Are there idols you’ve created in your life? Are you truly trusting in God's revealed character through Scripture? As always, we’d love to take the time to answer any questions you have and to pray with you – so reach out.
