How Big is Your God?

I recently read about a lecture in which John Stott told the story of visiting a tiny church in rural England while on a study leave. He worshipped with them every Sunday, participated in their fellowship, and heard their discussions. He related his dismay when week after week, the pastor would preach about issues facing the village, pray about concerns in the church, and discuss decisions related only to their congregation. “I came to the conclusion,” Stott observed, “that these people worship a village God.”

My question to you is, "How big is your God?" I think a lot of the time we are guilty of putting God in a box or creating an image of God in our minds that doesn't compare to wonder, power, and glory of the true God.

Once we take hold and gain some understanding of the sovereignty of God, His omniscience, His omnipotence, and His omnipresence, we can see and know more than just a village God.
