Dear God, if you do this, I’ll do that.
If, if, if, if.
There are times when we can approach our relationship with God like a vending machine. If we do or say certain things, we expect God to give us exactly what we want. If we don’t get it, we can question whether or not God is real, and whether or not he is as good or caring as he says he is.
But are we consumers, or disciples? Is it about my kingdom come, or God’s?
This sermon is based on Psalm 33 (also released as a podcast episode) and explores the unparalleled and trustworthy character and power of God. Given what we learn about him, do we want a relationship with him on our terms and for our purposes, or do we want a relationship with him on his terms and for his purposes?
This is an opportunity for us to think bigger about God—and to trust him more in the daily details that we often don’t understand. His purposes are better for us and for the people we care about, even when it’s hard to see how all the pieces fit together.
Are we consumers, or disciples? Is it about my kingdom come, or God’s?
