Grace Bible Church Georgetown, Tx

In chapter 9, we see the response of the people to the hearing of the Word and almost the whole chapter is a prayer to God. In fact, it’s the longest prayer in the bible. As we delve into it I want us to remember that God does not exist for the sake of our enjoying bible stories but bible stories exist for the sake of our enjoying God. Bible stories are not isolated events, just as history is not merely a series of events. History reveals the divine hand of God in the midst of the human drama. The universe declares the glory of God. The story of history reveals who God is – what he is like, his character, His renown, the power of His name.
