God's Holiness & The Most Important Thin...

JONNY ARDAVANIS
About this episode

Why does worship feel shallow? Why does preaching feel flat? Why has passion for God gone cold? The answer might be simpler — and more uncomfortable — than you think: a low view of God.

In this episode, we open in Isaiah 6 — widely considered the greatest passage on the holiness of God in all of Scripture — and trace it through the story of King Uzziah, the seraphim, Palm Sunday in John 12, and the return of Christ in Revelation 19. What we find is a thread that ties the whole Bible together: God is a holy King, and understanding that changes everything.

Topics we cover:

  • What A.W. Tozer meant when he said your view of God is the most important thing about you
  • King Uzziah — what pride, prosperity, and a low view of God's holiness cost him- The seraphim in Isaiah 6 — who they are and why they cover their faces
  • What "Holy, Holy, Holy" actually means (and why it's the only attribute tripled in Scripture)
  • The connection between Isaiah 6 and Palm Sunday in John 12- Why God is not self-deprecating — and why that's actually good news
  • The difference between a quantitative and qualitative view of God
  • Revelation 19 and the return of the King

Referenced: Isaiah 6, 2 Chronicles 26, John 12, Revelation 4 & 19, Tozer, Sinclair Ferguson, RC Sproul, Spurgeon, Michael Horton
