The main idea of Pastor Paul's sermon was that we, as followers of Christ, are to live our lives differently by maintaining a sense of reverent fear towards God. This awe is not about being scared but about having a profound respect for God's power and love. He encouraged us to keep our sense of wonder about God alive by prioritizing prayer, accountability, remembering the sacrifice of Jesus, and placing our faith and hope in God's plan, which is far greater than our own.
1 Peter 1:17-21
How does living with a sense of accountability to God change the way we interact with others?
What does it mean to live in light of the cross, and how does this affect our values and decisions?
How can we hold onto faith and hope in God's plan when our own plans fall apart?
Last Sunday, Pastor Paul Feuerstein from Echo Church delivered a powerful message titled 'God is Awesome!' as part of the 'Different' series. He reminded us that as Christians, we're called to be holy and distinct from the world. Pastor Paul took us through 1 Peter 1:17-21, emphasizing that we should live our lives with reverent fear, not of people or the future, but in awe of God's majesty and grace. He shared personal anecdotes and taught us that our awe of God should lead us to live in prayer, with a sense of accountability, in light of the cross, and with faith and hope in God's unstoppable plan.
Reflect on how you can deepen your prayer life to connect more with God's awesomeness.
Consider the ways you can live with a greater sense of accountability before God.
