A Journey Through the Psalms: Reflections for Worried Hearts and Troubled Times
Preaching the Psalms Cycles A, B, C
What are the attributes of God? Sitting in the midst of fifteen or twenty children each Sunday, the pastor asks these questions, "What is God like? How would you describe God?" One child's hand shoots up and he squeals out, "God is huge!" True. God is huge. So huge, in fact, that mere human capacity cannot comprehend even a portion of the reality of God. Another repeats the nearly vapid Sunday school aphorism that "God is love!" Also true. But the mining of 1 John is a mighty task not likely to be accomplished during the children's sermon.
