“The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder.” G.K.Chesterton
I. THE PROBLEM OF AMNESIA
There is something God has placed in each of us, but something amnesia takes away: (AWE).
1. Awe is everyone’s (lifelong pursuit).
2. God created an (awesome world) and us with the capacity to enjoy it.
3. Where we look for awe will shape the (direction of our life).
4. Misplaced awe will keep us (dissatisfied).
“For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?” Mk.8:36
What went wrong? Awe of God is every quickly replace by (awe of self).
Turn to Daniel 4 (p.270)
II. THE CURE OF AMNESIA
Turn to Jeremiah 2: 11-13. These verses tell us two evils they committed:
1) They had (forsaken God).
2) They pursued (God-substitutes).
Turn to Ezekiel 36 & 37.
The problem with many of us is we have (spiritual amnesia).
The only cure for our awe amnesia is (coming alive in the Spirit). It is the desire to be amazed, to be blown away, to be moved, and ultimately satisfied in our cravings to yearn for God.
