“Do You Know Your God?” – A Life-Shaping Question
The question posed at the start of this sermon isn’t just theological—it’s deeply personal. “Do you know your God?” Not, “Do you know about Him?” Not, “Have you read His Word?” But—do you know Him in a way that stirs love, changes behavior, and compels your mouth to speak?
Psalm 145 isn’t a dry treatise. It’s a joyful outburst. It’s David, overflowing with the goodness of God, calling us to join him in raising our voices—loudly, wholeheartedly, unashamedly.
And here’s the challenge: if our hearts aren’t stirred to speak of God, perhaps they’re too filled with lesser things. The sermon reminds us that praising God isn’t confined to Sunday singing—it’s about living and speaking as if He’s truly the center of our lives.
We praise what we value. We talk about what we love. If we’re silent about God, the solution isn’t to try harder—it’s to know Him deeper.
Because when we truly grasp that our God is infinitely great, tenderly compassionate, endlessly patient, and eternally faithful—we won’t be able to stay quiet.
So, the real question this week isn’t just Do you know your God? It’s: How will knowing Him change the way you live—and speak—today?
Main Theme:
