In Psalm 8, David marveled at the stars.

And as he did so, he considered God's power.

'What is man,' David asked, that God should care for him?

In other words, why would a God so big care for people so small?

And yet, He does.

In today's text, we'll consider the towering yet tender nature of our God.

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) What is so striking about Psalm 8?

B) Why does David focus on the 'name' of God?

C) What proof do you have that God loves you?

A Towering Yet Tender God

Is worship difficult for you?

For many people, it is. For many, it seems difficult or unnatural.

Now, why would 'worship' be difficult?

Well, we're not used to glorifying someone other than ourselves.

So, how do we fix this?

It begins with the study of God himself.

It begins with an appreciation of His character.

The more we understand God, the more natural worship becomes.

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) What sort of worship was taking place in 2 Chronicles 7?

B) What happened the moment the Temple was dedicated?

C) How can we grow in our love and commitment to worship?

Speaker: Dr. Toby B. Holt

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) What does the term 'covenant' mean?

B) What promise did God make to Israel after the Exodus?

C) What promises has He made to you and I as believers?
