How Great Is Your God? (How Great Is Our God) (2 of 4)
Series: Songs of Faith

Psalm 145:1-21
Back in the 1800s, there was a famous intellectual and agnostic named T.H. Huxley. One weekend, when Huxley was with a group of men at a weekend house party, on that Sunday morning most of them were preparing to go to church - Huxley approached a man he knew was a sincere Christian and said, ''Suppose you stay at home and tell my why you are a Christian.'' The Christian didn't want to. He knew how skilled an arguer Huxley... and he hesitated. But Huxley smiled and assured him, ''I don't want to argue with you. I just want you to tell me simply what this Christ means to you.'' So the man did... and when he finished, Huxley had tears in his eyes. ''I would give my right hand if only I could believe that!''
APPLY: This month we're looking at the great songs of faith - and today's sermon is based on the hymn ''How Great Is Our God'' written by Chris Tomlin a mere 16 years ago (back in 2004). It's a powerful song of praise and it's a declarative statement. It's a statement of truth: Our God is great!!!
How GREAT is our God! He is great, He is majestic, He is worthy of praise. As part of the song says ''Name above all names, worthy of our praise. My heart will sing 'How great is our God!''' And I love the chorus: ''How great is our God, sing with me, how great is our God, and all will see how great, how great is our God.''
But, as I thinking on the title of that hymn somehow it came out different. Instead of a statement, my mind put it in the form of a question: ''How Great IS your God?''
How Great is YOUR God? Could you explain to someone - what God means to you? Could you explain why you believe He not only exists, but that He is a GREAT God? I'm not asking if you think you could convince someone to believe it. I'm asking if you could just tell somebody WHY God means so much to you?
That's sort of what Psalm 145 is all about. David ha ...
