Sermon Overview
Reidhead explores the essential qualities of God: His Holiness, Justice, Love, Sovereignty, and Immutability. He argues that a "shrunken view of God" leads to a "shrunken spiritual life." He calls for a return to a "Theocentric" (God-centered) faith that worships God for Who He is in His absolute, infinite Nature.
Key Principles
Attributes as Ground:Ground your faith in the "Attributes of God" (Holiness, Justice, Love) rather than your emotions.
Theocentric View:Prioritize a "God-centered" view of life; realize that a "shrunken God" results in a "shrunken life."
Majesty/Transcendence:Practice "reverence" for the Transcendence of the Creator; realize He is high and lifted up.
Incommunicable:Worship God for His "Incommunicable Attributes"—His Self-existence and Sovereignty.
Immutability Anchor:Anchor your soul in the "Unchangeableness" of God when your circumstances are in total flux.
Transforming View:Realize that you "become like what you behold"; stare at the holiness of God to become holy.
Faith Grounded in Nature: Build your faith on "Who God Is" rather than "What God Does"; this is an unshakeable base.
