God’s Omnipotence

Developing a right belief of God

1. Recognize God is omnipotent
2. Rejoice for God’s power accomplishes his holy will
3. Trust in the omnipotent God

Good morning, church family! It’s hard to believe that 2024 is coming to a close, isn’t it? For me, the end of a year is always a time to reflect and plan. I typically have some time off around the holidays and I try to use some of that time to look back over the previous year. Did I accomplish the goals I set for the year? If not, why not? What growth points were there to rejoice in?  Where are their future opportunities for growth in the year ahead?

This type of reflection and planning helps me to be intentional in life. I believe it honors God when we are wise stewards of the time, talent, and treasure he has entrusted to us. We find this supported in the Scriptures.

This practice also applies to us corporately as the church. Every year we set out initiatives that we want to accomplish for our growth and God’s glory. I think it is worth taking a few minutes to rejoice in some of the growth that has occurred in our church this year:

• We were able to preach through Isaiah 1-39 this year and hear the ways God used His Word to mature people within our body at the annual Stewardship Celebration.
  • My hope is that our church is learning to love all of God’s Word (OT + NT) as well as developing a deeper understanding of the Bible and God’s grand plan of redemption.
• We’ve closed out the year with some topical sermon series, but each one has served a specific purpose.
  • In October, we sought to grow in our appreciation and awe of God’s authoritative, sufficient, infallible and inerrant word.
  • In November, we took the month to learn more about being wise stewards of God the Holy Spirit. What a wonderful time that was in learning more about the 3^rd member of the Trinity and the person of God who is actively involved in our lives every single day!
  • We’ve taken December to develop our BIG view of God by studying his character – his sovereignty, goodness, immutability, omniscience, incarnation, and omnipotence.
  • We want to be a church that boldly preaches the Word, typically by faithful verse-by-verse exposition, but occasionally by studying topics/themes through Scripture too.
• Through your faithful invitations to family/friends/co-workers/neighbors, we’ve seen new individuals and families visiting and even joining the church. God uses our ordinary faithfulness in inviting people to church to build his church. I am also so thankful for the folks who go out with the Witness on Wednesday ministry each week to knock on doors in our community to share the Gospel with our neighbors. We want to be a church that courageously shares the Good News of Jesus with our community!
• I want to publicly honor Emily Flaherty and the team of volunteers who have made our new Wednesday night Adventure Club ministry a reality this year. That was a big win for our church. It is an opportunity to partner with parents in teaching their kids systematic theology over the course of the years. We want to be a church that purposefully raises up disciples in the next generation!
• It has also been so sweet to watch our church family care for one another and welcome in new folks week after week. We say that we want to have a compelling community informed by the love of Christ and I do believe we are growing in that. I have often heard from visitors that they feel very loved and welcomed here. They can tell this church seeks to be a family to one another. I believe that is a by-product of you each seeking to pray for one another, carry one another’s burdens, and opening up your homes to one another in hospitality. Well done!

Ultimately, this is not about us, it’s about testifying to God at work in and through us! We celebrate and rejoice in His faithfulness and goodness! He rightly gets all the glory! (This is just scratching the surface, I’m sure there are more we could talk about too!)

I want to encourage you to plan to be back next Sunday as we kick off the new year with our annual “Vision Sunday” sermon. In that message, I will seek to issue a rallying cry to the church for the new year, as well as share some of the specifics of how we will seek to carry out God’s mission. *pause*

For today, we are closing out our series Let God Reign by studying God’s omnipotence. This is another one of those studies that highlights the cheekiness of the title for this series. As the omnipotent, all-powerful God, we do not “let” God do anything! He reigns absolutely.

However, as I’ve mentioned previously our response to God matters. He delighted to create all things, including us, and he deserves our worship and allegiance. When we say, “Let God Reign” what we’re talking about is “respond to him in a manner worthy of His character and actions”.

Ushers + Bibles

Once again, we will be moving throughout the Scriptures to study this attribute of God. Our aim today is…

Developing a right belief of God

We want to know our God and believe what is true about Him. Today that emphasis is on God’s omnipotence, which literally means “God is all-powerful”. But let me expand a bit on that with two other definitions:

Omnipotence – God’s unlimited authority to bring into existence or cause to happen whatsoever he wills. (Baker Encyclopedia of the Bible)

Notice the interplay of authority and power in these definitions. God has all-power or unlimited-authority to create and accomplish his will. Since we’ve referenced Arthur Pink multiple times throughout this series, let me share his definition, which he borrows from Puritan pastor Stephen Charnock. He calls it “the power of God” rather than “omnipotence”.

The power of God is that ability and strength whereby He can bring to pass whatsoever He pleases, whatsoever His infinite wisdom may direct, and whatsoever the infinite purity of His will may resolve…As holiness is the beauty of all God’s attributes, so power is that which gives life and action to all the perfections of the divine nature. (Stephen Charnock, cited by Arthur Pink in The Attributes of God)

There are a lot of similarities in these definitions but let me point out some helpful clarifications we find in this last one. Here the will of God is discussed as that which pleases God and is informed by his infinite wisdom (omniscience) as well as his infinite purity (holiness). These are helpful clarifications. God’s power or omnipotence does not exist outside of all his other attributes. In fact, as Charnock helpfully states at the end, “Power is that which gives life and action to all the perfections of the divine nature.” God’s omnipotence is the expression of all He is. As the most powerful being, He expresses his power in ways that are wholly consistent with his character, in order to accomplish all of his good and holy will.

These distinctions are important because God cannot and will not use his all-powerful nature to ever do evil. He cannot, for he is entirely good and holy. Put another way – God will always use his all-powerful nature to accomplish what is good and best for his people and brings him the most glory. Knowing this about God is very important and will help us as we study his Word today. But, before we read, I want to draw your attention to the first takeaway in developing a right belief of God…

1. Recognize God is omnipotent

God is all-powerful. He is the greatest authority in the entire Universe. There is none more powerful than he, for by him everything that is was created! Now, you may think that I’m going to take you to Genesis 1-2 and show you the creation account. If that was your guess, you’d be wrong. Instead, I want to take you back to where we began this sermon series… The book of Job. Turn with me to Job 38. (page 522)

What I’d like to do today is read an extended portion of the book of Job. This comes towards the very end of the book, after many chapters of Job and his friends arguing about whether Job was suffering as a result of anything he had done. In this passage, God shows up and graciously instructs Job through a series of rhetorical questions. Job has been asking for an opportunity to defend himself before God, and now God is going to educate Job about his position and power over all things. This is a very long section, so please listen for the ways God demonstrates his power over all of creation as he teaches Job.

Job 38:1–40:5 (ESV)

Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:

²    “Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?

³    Dress for action like a man;

I will question you, and you make it known to me.

⁴    “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?

Tell me, if you have understanding.

⁵    Who determined its measurements—surely you know!

Or who stretched the line upon it?

⁶    On what were its bases sunk,

or who laid its cornerstone,

⁷    when the morning stars sang together

and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

⁸    “Or who shut in the sea with doors

when it burst out from the womb,

⁹    when I made clouds its garment

and thick darkness its swaddling band,

¹⁰    and prescribed limits for it

and set bars and doors,

¹¹    and said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther,

and here shall your proud waves be stayed’?

¹²    “Have you commanded the morning since your days began,

and caused the dawn to know its place,

¹³    that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth,

and the wicked be shaken out of it?

¹⁴    It is changed like clay under the seal,

and its features stand out like a garment.

¹⁵    From the wicked their light is withheld,

and their uplifted arm is broken.

¹⁶    “Have you entered into the springs of the sea,

or walked in the recesses of the deep?

¹⁷    Have the gates of death been revealed to you,

or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?

¹⁸    Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth?

Declare, if you know all this.

¹⁹    “Where is the way to the dwelling of light,

and where is the place of darkness,

²⁰    that you may take it to its territory

and that you may discern the paths to its home?

²¹    You know, for you were born then,

and the number of your days is great!

²²    “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,

or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,

²³    which I have reserved for the time of trouble,

for the day of battle and war?

²⁴    What is the way to the place where the light is distributed,

or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?

²⁵    “Who has cleft a channel for the torrents of rain

and a way for the thunderbolt,

²⁶    to bring rain on a land where no man is,

on the desert in which there is no man,

²⁷    to satisfy the waste and desolate land,

and to make the ground sprout with grass?

²⁸    “Has the rain a father,

or who has begotten the drops of dew?

²⁹    From whose womb did the ice come forth,

and who has given birth to the frost of heaven?

³⁰    The waters become hard like stone,

and the face of the deep is frozen.

³¹    “Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades

or loose the cords of Orion?

³²    Can you lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season,

or can you guide the Bear with its children?

³³    Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?

Can you establish their rule on the earth?

³⁴    “Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,

that a flood of waters may cover you?

³⁵    Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go

and say to you, ‘Here we are’?

³⁶    Who has put wisdom in the inward parts

or given understanding to the mind?

³⁷    Who can number the clouds by wisdom?

Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,

³⁸    when the dust runs into a mass

and the clods stick fast together?

³⁹    “Can you hunt the prey for the lion,

or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,

⁴⁰    when they crouch in their dens

or lie in wait in their thicket?

⁴¹    Who provides for the raven its prey,

when its young ones cry to God for help,

and wander about for lack of food?

39 “Do you know when the mountain goats give birth?

Do you observe the calving of the does?

²    Can you number the months that they fulfill,

and do you know the time when they give birth,

³    when they crouch, bring forth their offspring,

and are delivered of their young?

⁴    Their young ones become strong; they grow up in the open;

they go out and do not return to them.

⁵    “Who has let the wild donkey go free?

Who has loosed the bonds of the swift donkey,

⁶    to whom I have given the arid plain for his home

and the salt land for his dwelling place?

⁷    He scorns the tumult of the city;

he hears not the shouts of the driver.

⁸    He ranges the mountains as his pasture,

and he searches after every green thing.

⁹    “Is the wild ox willing to serve you?

Will he spend the night at your manger?

¹⁰    Can you bind him in the furrow with ropes,

or will he harrow the valleys after you?

¹¹    Will you depend on him because his strength is great,

and will you leave to him your labor?

¹²    Do you have faith in him that he will return your grain

and gather it to your threshing floor?

¹³    “The wings of the ostrich wave proudly,

but are they the pinions and plumage of love?

¹⁴    For she leaves her eggs to the earth

and lets them be warmed on the ground,

¹⁵    forgetting that a foot may crush them

and that the wild beast may trample them.

¹⁶    She deals cruelly with her young, as if they were not hers;

though her labor be in vain, yet she has no fear,

¹⁷    because God has made her forget wisdom

and given her no share in understanding.

¹⁸    When she rouses herself to flee,

she laughs at the horse and his rider.

¹⁹    “Do you give the horse his might?

Do you clothe his neck with a mane?

²⁰    Do you make him leap like the locust?

His majestic snorting is terrifying.

²¹    He paws in the valley and exults in his strength;

he goes out to meet the weapons.

²²    He laughs at fear and is not dismayed;

he does not turn back from the sword.

²³    Upon him rattle the quiver,

the flashing spear, and the javelin.

²⁴    With fierceness and rage he swallows the ground;

he cannot stand still at the sound of the trumpet.

²⁵    When the trumpet sounds, he says ‘Aha!’

He smells the battle from afar,

the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

²⁶    “Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars

and spreads his wings toward the south?

²⁷    Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up

and makes his nest on high?

²⁸    On the rock he dwells and makes his home,

on the rocky crag and stronghold.

²⁹    From there he spies out the prey;

his eyes behold it from far away.

³⁰    His young ones suck up blood,

and where the slain are, there is he.”

40 And the Lord said to Job:

²    “Shall a faultfinder contend with the Almighty?

He who argues with God, let him answer it.”

³ Then Job answered the Lord and said:

⁴    “Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer you?

I lay my hand on my mouth.

⁵    I have spoken once, and I will not answer;

twice, but I will proceed no further.”

Do you hear the many evidences of God’s omnipotence? He has all authority and power over all things. From the beginning of creation, to the heavenly hosts, to setting the limits of the power of the sea, to commanding the morning dawn every single day throughout history… No one other than God does these things! The depths of the deepest seas are not off-limits to him. He knows every single facet of the expanse of the earth, nothing is left unexplored/uncovered by him. The source of light/snow/hail/wind is known to him and under his control. These are things that humans have spent enormous amounts of money and resources to study and learn more about! But God already knows everything about them, because he created them!

He brings rain on a land where no one dwells, simply for his own pleasure. The rain and ice come from his hand. The stars in the sky are his creation and answer to his call. Storms form and depart at his will. Consider the devastating hurricanes that hit the southeast earlier this year… God has all authority and power over those. And we are so small in comparison…

Chapter 39 highlights many aspects of the animal kingdom that are under his power/authority. These wild beasts that man cannot tame or call pets are under God’s control and care. He knows everything about them. They answer his call.

What shall Job say to this? What shall we say to this? “Shall a faultfinder contend with the Almighty?” Are you really going to try to argue with God, the all-powerful One?

Job has the appropriate response of humility. He confesses his smallness or insignificance in comparison to God and puts his hand on his mouth. Meaning he is done talking because now he has a clearer understanding of who God is. One commentary I read pointed out that, for Job, just hearing a response from God was enough for him. Job desperately wanted to know if he was in good standing with God, and God’s willingness to give him a response satisfied him.

Despite all that Job had been through, with losing nearly everything he had, including his precious children, he had a right belief about God. He bowed the knee in humility before an all-mighty God. Is that your response to God – submission/humility? Or do you seek to contend with God because you do not like how life has gone?

At the end of the day, this is not so much about asking God hard questions as it is about your willingness to submit to Him regardless. Do you recognize God is omnipotent? He is not able to be fit into your little box of what you think God should be like. He is not a god whom you can obey when it’s convenient and then live as if you are god in the rest of life. He is not a god to be mocked in unbelief. These postures towards him are of the utmost folly and will not end well for you if you adopt them!

By no means is Job the only place where God’s omnipotence is on display. We could have gone to Genesis 1-2 and looked at the creation account. Or Exodus and looked at the 10 plagues he sent upon Egypt. Or Genesis 6 when God chose to flood the earth. We could even go to the incarnation of Jesus Christ and look at his demonstrations of God’s authority and power in the healing of the lame/blind/mute or the calming of the sea and multiplying of the loaves of bread or, perhaps most amazingly, the raising of Lazarus from the dead! God’s omnipotence is on display from start to finish in the Scriptures. Both Old and New Testaments reveal it.

And this should utterly humble us. Think about it this way… Who here is proud when they assemble a LEGO set? Or successfully fix a problem in the home? Or repair your car? I can look up YouTube tutorials with the best of them and usually have decent success with my end result. But I needed starting materials (tools/materials/LEGOs) and provided knowledge (tutorials/instructions/trial & error)…

God, on the other hand, speaks and the Sun and the Moon are created. He needs nothing outside of himself. He has everything necessary. He doesn’t reference a tutorial video (“7 Words to Create the Solar System” ) nor does he need outside knowledge.

Do you see the differences? We are dependent, finite beings but our God is independent and infinite – he is omnipotent! The Sun alone is a power beyond our capability to fathom and he SPOKE it into existence. Though such knowledge is rightly overwhelming to us, we can and should…

2. Rejoice for God’s power accomplishes his holy will

God’s power is purposeful. Because he is a good and holy God, his unlimited power is unleashed on accomplishing his holy will. And, once you understand God’s holy will more fully, this can become a source of great joy in your life. Let’s consider what God has revealed to us about his holy will.

1. God’s will to create (Gen. 1-2; Jer. 32:17; Ps. 139:3-14)

God has made it known that he delights to create. The very first pages of the Bible capture God’s delight in creating all things. We have previously seen and studied how upon ending each of the first days of creation, God concluded, “It was good” and ultimately, after making man and woman in his own image, concluded, “It was very good.”

Genesis 1:31 (ESV)

³¹ And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

In Psalm 139, King David rejoices that God made him in his mother’s womb. He knows that it was God’s will to create him personally! Just as it was God’s holy will to create me and you! We are each fearfully and wonderfully made. This is a great reason to rejoice!

1. God’s will to preserve (Col. 1:15-20; Heb. 1:3)

Not only did God put his power to work in creating all things, he also continues to use his power to preserve or uphold all things. I love pointing this out… Do you realize that the reason you continue to draw breath right now is due to God’s sustaining power at work in you? You do not cause your lungs to breathe or your heart to beat. God does. We see God’s creative and preserving power mentioned in Colossians 1:

Colossians 1:15–17 (ESV)

¹⁵ He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. ¹⁶ For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. ¹⁷ And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

And in Hebrews 1:

Hebrews 1:1–3 (ESV)

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, ² but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. ³ He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power…

Both passages are focused on exalting Jesus Christ and one of the truths they highlight is that he is the one who upholds the entire universe! God’s holy will is to preserve what he has made. You can rejoice today because God is keeping your heart beating and lungs breathing. He continues to keep the laws of gravity functioning consistently. We’re not floating away because his holy will is at work!

1. God’s will to bless or afflict (providence)

This was elaborated on by Frasier at the start of this sermon series when he looked at Job 1-2. God’s holy will is revealed in both his blessings and afflictions in our lives. If you missed out on that sermon, I would encourage you to go back and listen to it. Frasier gave some excellent ways to think about this.

God always knows what is best for our good and his glory, and he accomplishes both by using his power to bless or afflict as needed. For the sake of our time today, I will highlight just one: that God uses these to cultivate greater communion with Christ our Savior. How could we not rejoice that God is actively pursuing this end in our lives?! Which ties in so beautifully with this next one…

1. God’s will to redeem (Jn. 3:16-17; Eph. 1:3-14; Titus 3:3-7)

Our salvation is entirely a work of God’s power to accomplish his holy will. That should blow your mind. The reason you can have the hope of heaven is because God put his unlimited power to work in securing your redemption in Christ!

John 3:16–17 (ESV)

¹⁶ “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. ¹⁷ For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

We often stop at verse 17, but if you continue reading John goes on to say that the world already stood condemned by their unbelief and sin. It was God’s will to redeem those who believe by sending his Son, Jesus Christ! This is what Christmas is all about! God’s power was on display in the incarnation so that the world might be saved through him. What a reason to rejoice this morning!

Do you ever stop to think about the miracle of your salvation and sanctification? If your faith is in Jesus Christ, that was a work of God’s divine power in you. If you are growing in holiness, that is God’s divine power at work in you. He is accomplishing his holy will to prepare you for heaven with him! Can we give God some praise this morning!? THANK YOU, JESUS, FOR REDEMPTION!

Conversely, we must also respond appropriately to…

1. God’s will to judge (Jn. 3:18-19; Rom. 9:19-23)

This topic makes many of us uncomfortable, perhaps even apologetic in our politically-correct day and age. We feel the need to apologize for the severity of God as found in the pages of Scripture rather than to honor God’s clear revelation that he is a righteous judge of those who reject him. This unease is a fruit of the lies of the enemy and our culture.

God’s judgment is just as clear a display of his power to accomplish his holy will as his redemption. And while it brings us no pleasure to realize that many will face judgment, it should cause us to have awe at God’s power to preserve the souls of those who reject him. It is right for us to tremble before a Holy God who can and will hold the unrepentant accountable for all eternity in Hell. And it is the height of arrogance and folly to reject or mock this omnipotent God who can dispense his judgment at any moment.

Please heed the call to turn from rejecting God to a position of humility before him. Embrace his provision for redemption through faith in his Son, Jesus. Confess your sins and ask him to save you! He delights to do so! If you’d like to talk more about that, I’d love to do so after the service or we can set up a time for coffee this week.

Let’s continue with a final reason to rejoice that God’s power accomplishes his holy will.

1. God’s will to work in and through the church (Eph. 3:14-4:16)

I love the book of Ephesians. In six short chapters, Paul packs in so much truth! One of the themes that comes screaming off the pages is that God’s will is to work in and through the church. The church is the bride of Christ and his chosen vehicle to spread the Gospel to the nations in this age. How incredible is it that we, as Christians, are able to be adopted into God’s family, given the opportunity to partner with God in making disciples, and experience his power at work in and through us!? If you’ve ever had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with someone and watching as God convicts them of their need for salvation, that is an indescribable joy! Who are we to be able to participate in that?!

So many of you serve in our Harvest Kids or Students ministries where you invest in the next generation with the truths of God’s word. That is awesome! Others are involved in small groups where you bear one another’s burdens and pray for one another and speak truth to one another – when you do these things that is God at work in and through you! When you use your time, talent, and treasures to serve others and strengthen the body, that is God at work in and through his church. You are doing your part to build up the body of Christ into maturity.

^^^All of this is for the glory of God.

Ephesians 3:20–21 (ESV)

²⁰ Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, ²¹ to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

We rejoice for God’s power accomplishes all his holy will, which not only benefits us but ultimately glorifies Him. He is the perfect One. The One worthy of all praise and honor and glory! Which leads us into our final response in developing a right belief of God today…

3. Trust in the omnipotent God

I’ve tried to highlight reasons why you should trust our omnipotent God as we’ve gone today, but now I want to hit them again quickly with you. Some will be review while others are new:

1. Reason – He gives and upholds your life

Your existence is no accident. God made you. He desired and delighted to make you. You are made in his image, and you have intrinsic value and worth. He continues to give you life and breath today. Trust in the omnipotent God who gives and upholds your life.

1. Reason – He is your physical protection

Psalm after psalm is written declaring how God protects and provides for his people. To this day there are incredible testimonies of God physically protecting people in dire situations. This does not mean you will never face hardship or suffering. But it does mean that God is in control throughout – there is none more powerful than him. You can trust in the omnipotent God who is your physical protection from the dangers in this life.

1. Reason – He restrains evil men and Satan

God’s power is at work in restraining the evil in our world. Humanity is not as evil as it could be if left to itself because God restrains our sin. This is an outworking of God’s common grace. As we saw in Job 1-2 earlier this month, Satan is on a leash. He could not test Job unless God permitted it. You had better believe the enemy would love nothing more than to destroy those who trust in God, but God restrains him. Trust in the omnipotent God who restrains evil men and Satan.

1. Reason – He secures your salvation

Your conversion from death to life is evidence of God’s power at work.

Colossians 1:12–14 (ESV)

¹² giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in light. ¹³ He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, ¹⁴ in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

Paul also told the Ephesians that upon salvation, they were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the GUARANTEE of their inheritance in heaven. Trust in the omnipotent God who secures your salvation from start to finish.

1. Reason – He answers your prayers

How incredible is it that the all-powerful God who created all things invites you to pray to him!? He is a loving Father who wants to hear the burdens and desires of your heart. His ear is inclined towards the righteous and he delights to answer their prayers. When you are weary and heavily laden, you can come to him for help and rest. When you are burdened by temptation, he stands ready to help in time of need. When you are anxious about life, he knows and offers peace beyond understanding. Trust in the omnipotent God who answers your prayers.

1. Reason – He is bringing you to eternal life with him

God’s holy will is to create a people for himself and be in relationship with those people. That has always been his plan, and he will accomplish it. This life we live and the truths we study from week to week are not merely to live our “best life now” but to prepare ourselves to live with God for all eternity! Trust in the omnipotent God who is bringing you to eternal life with him.

*pause*

I hope this sermon series has been helpful for you in developing a right belief of God, as well as responding to him in worship and awe. I am looking forward to jumping back into our verse-by-verse study of Isaiah in January.

Let’s pray.
