The Goodness of God (7 of 7)
Series: In Awe of God
Scott Maze
Psalm 145:1-21
In just a few minutes, we'll be serving the Lord's Supper. We invite Christ-followers to join with us in celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus just as Christians have done for thousands of years.
I brought a globe with me this morning. If you believe this globe (this world) is all there is then you believe in a closed system.

If I believe that there is a God who exists outside this world, then I can use the tools of politics, education and science without having to worship them as gods. If I believe that there is a God who exists outside this world, then I can live for His glory, which will far outlive myself or anyone on this planet - doing things here on earth that will resonate into eternity.

For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ'' (Philippians 3:8). Life finds purpose and meaning when you know God. Knowing God intimately means more than having supermodel good looks, losing 20 pounds or being offering the director's role to the next Star Wars film. You live completely differently when you believe in God. The quality of your life will be determined by how well you know God.
We have been in a series on the attributes of God- God's love, His power, and God's holiness. Today, we finish ...
