Monday Morning Sermon Rewind

"O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth." These are the words which David begins and ends Pslam 8. Indeed, our God is a majestic God. In verse 3 of this Psalm, David points out that the vast universe is "the work of God's fingers!"  Think of it this way, God created this complex and vast universe (which He "thought up!") as effortless as it is for you and me to snap our fingers!  Wow!  What a God.

I used the following illustration yesterday from the White House years of former President Teddy Roosevelt.

It is said that when President Roosevelt entertained diplomatic guests at the White House he was fond of taking them out to the back lawn at the end of the day. As the president stood gazing at the night sky, all eyes would eventually be cast heavenward, as his were. In his day, the vast array of stars was not dimmed by the city lights, and the magnificent display of God’s brilliant creation would overcome the party. After a long moment, Mr. Roosevelt would say, "Gentlemen, I believe we are small enough now. Let’s go to bed."

And what is truly amazing is that this BIG God not only takes note of us - but He cares for us!!!  Wow! What an awesome God we serve!

Thanks for stopping by . . .

PS - If you missed the sermon yesterday (or simply what to go a bit deeper), I invite you to "Sermon Rewind" this coming Wednesday evening (and every Wednesday evening) at 6:45 in Room 207. I will be giving the sermon again and we will also have some time for Q&A.
