It Begins with a Big God

There is no greater indicator of the potential impact of a church than it’s view of God. The greater a church’s awe and wonder of God, the greater it’s impact for God. The fear of God removes the fear of man. Boldness in proclaiming and living out the Gospel is produced by an accurate understanding of God and obedience to His Lordship. This reminder is vital for any church that wants to begin or continue to grow in depth and in breadth. There are few passages in the Scripture that more perfectly describe all of this than Isaiah 40:9-31 which culminates in one of the greatest promises of the Bible, “those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and now faint.”
