This Sunday sermon is about having a living God. What does it mean to have a god in your life? Is there any difference in having a god in your life? What is God like? What can you expect from God? Is God good for anything beyond hearing prayers?
What would it mean in a fantasy novel to have a god on the leading characters'' side? You would expect them to have an edge. You would think they have it made. Yet, in life, people who pray still sometimes suffer. Praying people get killed for their belief even. So what does having a living God result in? Is there any difference? The short answer is that letting God into your life gives you new potential, a significant difference.
Having a living God is better than having Superman as a best friend. There is no weakness in God. There is no lead to block his vision. There is no kryptonite! God is indestructible; he died and came back to life from the dead! He can see everything that will ever happen anywhere in existence. He can take care of you and those you love. God is better than Santa Claus. He is available 24/7/365. You can always ask him for anything! He is a miracle worker...
So what can you expect to let the living invisible, infinite God into your life? Everything that you can dream up is possible, but he sometimes says no again and again. Remember Jesus before his cross asked God to spare him. He asked more than once, but the answer was still no. God knows what is best, and that can seem heartless to us. We may not see why he is not saying yes to our prayerful request. We may get angry. Remember, God knows best. Trust God will do the right thing...
