The Blind Spot in How We See Jesus

Main message: The preacher warns that Christians have lost reverent fear and awe for Jesus by reducing him to a casual, weak "buddy," and urges remembering that Jesus is the Creator and deserving of respect; when we domesticate him, people turn to other sources of strength.

Key points:

• There's been a loss of fear, awe, and respect for the Lord.
• Jesus may be called "Father," but is not merely a casual friend or homeboy.
• Reducing Jesus to a weak, sentimental figure undermines confidence in him.
• As a result, people seek stronger things apart from Christ.
