Thursday - Psalm 149•. Friday - Psalm 150Home Church Questions 1. Have someone read Psalm 8. Did you find anything in the text or the sermon interesting or helpful? 2. We discover God is both majestic and mindful. The theological terms for this are transcendent and immanent. He is big and powerful and yet He is near and cares. Which of these two do you tend to emphasize when you think about God. Why is it important that we affirm both? 3. Psalm 8 emphasizes that God’s glory is often seen in what is small and weak and even unlikely. Where do we see this in this psalm? Where do we see other examples of this idea in the Bible? 4. Why do you think God often chooses to work in ways and use people we wouldn’t expect? How should this truth that God uses unlikely people impact us? 5. We tend to either have too high or too low a view of ourselves. It was mentioned in the sermon that the solution to both of these is to focus less on ourselves. What does it look like to focus less on ourselves? Why would this be a healthy solution? 6. If we have a correct view of God and of ourselves, we will experience both humility and confidence. Explain why. What are some ways you can have a healthier view of yourself in light of this biblical teaching? 7. Hebrews 2 lets us know Jesus fulfills Psalm 8 in a way that we cannot. What are some examples of ways we don’t meet the standard of Psalm 8? What are some ways Jesus succeeds for us?Pray for our Partners: David & Eliška Živor, and children Linda, Dominik, and Daniela. -For the church plant in Řepy, and for strong leaders as they work to reach the community -For Eliška to have gospel opportunities as she works with the new preschool in Řepy -For additional funding, so that David can focus more time and effort on ministry FinancesWeekly Budget 35,297Giving For 08/11 27,541Giving For 08/18 26,674YTD Budget 247,080Giving 235,191, OVER/(UNDER) (11,889) Fellowship 101We invite you to join us on Sunday, September 8, at 9:00 a.m. to learn more about Fellowship.
