Encountering God's Holiness

Pastor Bryan

January 12, 2025

Main Idea

The main idea of Pastor Bryan's message was that encountering God's holiness is a transformative experience that brings us face to face with our own sinfulness and God's majesty. Through Isaiah's vision, we saw that God is sovereign, His throne is above all earthly powers, and His holiness is incomparable. This encounter leads us to a place of repentance and worship, as we realize that our sins are atoned for through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, symbolized by the burning coal from the altar that touched Isaiah's lips.

Scripture References

Isaiah 6:1-7, Psalm 19:1, Romans 1:20, Romans 6:23, Hebrews 9:22

How does a revelation of God's holiness differ from mere acknowledgment?

The holiness of God separates Him from all His creation and places Him in infinite majesty above it.

Can Isaiah's experience in Isaiah 6:1-7 be likened to a salvation experience?

Discussion Questions:

What steps can we take to open our hearts to a fresh revelation of God's holiness?

How might a fresh revelation of God's holiness alter our perspective of the world?

In what ways can understanding God's holiness change our view of ourselves and others?

Our sin must be addressed in the presence of a holy God, and it is through Jesus' sacrifice that we find cleansing and forgiveness.

Summary

In Pastor Bryan's sermon 'Encountering God's Holiness' at Encounter Series Week 2, we were reminded of the profound encounter Isaiah had with God, as described in Isaiah 6:1-7. We learned that despite the rapid changes and uncertainties in our world, God's sovereignty and holiness remain constant. Pastor Bryan emphasized that God is 'high and lifted up,' signifying His ultimate authority and kingship. We were encouraged to remember that God's holiness sets Him apart in infinite majesty, and when faced with this reality, we, like Isaiah, recognize our own sinfulness and need for God's grace and forgiveness.

Call to Action

Some next steps to take this week:

Reflect on the holiness of God and how it sets Him apart from all creation.

Seek a personal encounter with God's holiness to experience transformation and forgiveness.
