Wonder - Week 1 | Wonder

from Thrive Community Church · host John Roth

The world hums with busyness, endless scrolling, and the steady flattening of wonder — so how do we recover a sense of awe when life feels like noise and our days blur into to-do lists? This message traces that tension from late-night screens to the forgotten habit of marveling at the stars, our hands, and the fact that we exist at all. It points to Psalm 8 as a counterpoint to cynicism and cultural distraction, naming the loss of reverence that leaves many feeling small and adrift. The sermon reframes who we are by holding up three lenses from the psalm: the majesty of God, the marvel of human dignity, and the miracle of how God works through weakness — even a newborn in a manger — to renew creation. Expect gentle provocation more than tidy answers: an invitation to stop, look up, and let something bigger reshape how you measure value, purpose, and power, leaving you quietly wondering what might happen if awe returned to your days.
