Wonder - Week 7 | Seek

When family fractures, public pressure, or the simple weight of life make you want to hide, David’s cry in Psalm 27 cuts straight to the heart: one thing I will seek — the face, the beauty, the favor of God. This sermon holds that raw tension—fear, enemies, even abandonment by those closest to us—and refuses to reduce faith to information or technique. It lays out why the longing for God’s beauty matters when everything else is failing. You’ll hear how ancient temple images, the year-after-year sacrifices, and the surprising beauty of the suffering Lamb reframe courage: seeing God’s character steadies us amid danger. The talk traces how beholding God’s mercy changes how we live and tells the modern story of a failed fresco that became a town’s blessing—small, messy acts that reveal God’s face. Expect a clear, tender invitation to let that beauty lift your head and reorder what you fear.
