Big Glory
In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up
…and the train of his robe filled the temple
Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew
And one called to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is
full of his glory!”
And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke
And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean
lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my
eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!”
Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar
And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched
your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin
atoned for”
And I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
“Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?”
Then I said, “Here I am! Send me”
- Isaiah 6:1-8
What happensWhen God becomes big?
Buddy Jesus vs. Almighty God
In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up
…and the train of his robe filled the temple
Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew
And one called to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is
full of his glory!”

"The manifestation of God's Greatness and presence That is awesome to behold"
And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke
God just became big
And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost…
…for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a
people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King,
the Lord of hosts!”

Sin is no longer a jokeOr a just small thing
Holy DreadThe fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight- Prov. 9:10
When you see God as he isYou don't get to claim to
Follow him
And stay as you are
Personal and Corporate
The proper response to sinIs grief
“Pass through the city…and put a mark on the foreheads of the
men who sigh and groan over all the abominations that are
committed in it”- Ezekiel 9
…they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them- Romans 1
Sin is…Sin destroys
If I love you, I don't celebrate The things that destroy you
I seek to rescue you
God became bigAnd Isaiah confessed his sin
The life of faith is one of Continual repentance
Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar
And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched
your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin
atoned for”
God becomes BigConfession
Forgiveness by Grace
And I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
“Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?”
Then I said, “Here I am! Send me”- Isaiah 6:1-8
Why so excited?
When God becomes bigAnd we discover what sin is
We experience real andLife-changing forgiveness
We ache for people to know
He discovered his DestinyWhat he was designed for
He discovered his DestinyWhat he was designed for
"Go preach. They won't listenSuccess= Faithfulness"
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders…
And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel- 7:14

God is greaterThan Buddy Jesus
And far more offensiveTo a comfortable Christian life
God changes meAs I follow and obey by faith
I know sin destroysAnd I care about peopleMade in God's image
When God becomes BigI begin to be sent
So that he'll be glorifiedAnd others might know
This is my purpose and destiny
And I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
“Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?”
Then I said, “Here I am! Send me”- Isaiah 6:1-8
Your next step:Search your heart and confess
Answer the call
Because you know sin destroysAnd God forgives
As a churchWe're not about filling a buildingBut proclaiming a King
Who is bigger than they knowAnd longs to forgive
