K1 What stood out to you from today’s sermon?

Grow
G1 Do you ever ask “Why do we gather together and worship God?” What answer do you give yourself?
G2 Dan gave two reasons to worship God: His word and work in governing (vv4-5) and his word and work in creation (v9). What did you think about the “Sverdrup” (a unit of measurement?. Consider why it is a comfort that God creates, and God governs.
G3 What do you think about the truth that God doesn’t answer our question with “Because I said so”. What are other reasons you can think of that God gives for us to worship and serve him.
G4 Yes, God governs (vv4-5), but there is still suffering. What reasons did Dan give for the presence of suffering and evil, despite the fact that “God is on the throne”? Share your thoughts about this.
G5 God could do away with sin and suffering once and for all. He’s God. So, let’s imagine he does that…right now. What might be the (unexpected) consequences of this?
G6 The third reason to worship God is that one day he will make everything right. And even in these times of waiting, he’s frustrating the plans of the country leaders around the world (vv10-12). What do you think this looks like “on the ground”? Can you think of an example where this might have happened?

S1 Take some time this week to pray and worship through Psalm 33:1-12. Pause to talk with God as you read through the text.
