Wonder - Week 5 | Awe

When your days feel reduced to tasks, notifications, and metrics—when people are treated like data and meaning slips through your fingers—life starts to look like smoke. This sermon addresses that specific ache: the numbness that comes from living in an I-It world where wonder has been crowded out by speed, consumption, and a hardening of the heart. The message reclaims an old phrase often translated "fear of the Lord" and restores it as awe: a posture of reverent wonder that opens you to God, others, and the small miracles all around you. Drawing on Proverbs, Jesus’ encounters, and everyday examples, it shows awe as something received, not manufactured—a living water that reshapes how we see and relate. Expect gentle reproof, surprising invitation, and an encouragement to stop trying to fix everything so you can start beholding again. See what it looks like when awe returns to the center of life.
