The Awe Deficit | Kyle Thomsen

When was the last time you felt true awe?

Not inspiration. Not emotion. But the kind of moment that left you speechless.

In this message, The Awe Deficit, we explore how modern life has slowly trained us to live without awe—and what happens to our faith when God feels smaller than our routines.

From breathtaking moments in nature to powerful scenes of worship in Scripture, this sermon reveals what happens when the bigness of God collides with the smallness of us.

“Awe happens when the bigness of God and the smallness of us collide—and we’re left speechless.”

Using Ezra 3 and Nehemiah 8, we see how God’s people responded when they encountered His presence—some with joy, some with tears, all with reverence. And we’ll uncover why regular exposure to God’s Word is one of the clearest pathways back to awe.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• What awe is—and why we desperately need it again

• Why familiarity with God can quietly erode reverence

• How Scripture restores wonder, joy, and spiritual strength

• Why the joy of the Lord flows from understanding God’s Word

If faith has started to feel flat, routine, or distant—this message is for you.
