Lost Art of Community | Cultivating Wonder - Chris Dew

What if the world we see is far more than just atoms and matter? This message challenges us to break free from the Truman Show of modern materialism and rediscover the enchanted existence we were created for. Drawing from Romans 1:18-25 and Acts 2, we're confronted with a powerful truth: God's invisible attributes have been clearly seen since creation, yet our culture has trained us to explain away the wonder. We've learned to ask 'how' things work without ever asking 'why' they exist. The early church lived in awe and wonder, experiencing miracles and recognizing the spiritual realm as real and present. We're invited to cultivate omnivorous attentiveness—artisan eyes that see God's beauty in every conversation, every sunrise, every cup of coffee. Through practicing gratitude in small pleasures, slowing down from our hurried screens, and expecting God to show up miraculously, we can swim in the beauty of our Creator. This isn't optional spirituality or extra sprinkles on the Christian life—it's the very essence of living aligned with reality. When we lose wonder, joy is lost and life becomes gray. But when we reawaken to the enchanted universe Scripture describes, filled with angels and demons, divine beauty and cosmic purpose, we discover that there's more to experience than we ever imagined.
