Monday Night's Notes

We watched the second third of the DVD on Monday night.  Here are the thought provoking questions we asked and discussed following the viewing.

Questions following the film...
1. What feeling does this picture of earth (the classic Apollo 17 shot) give you?

2. Everyone who ever lived out their life… lived it on that Pale Blue Dot.
Re-read Psalm 8:4-5 "what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. "
    What does Louie mean by significant insignificance?

3. What is your reaction to the idea that God is so massive, so huge, so indescribable and yet, He knows you by name and He love you?

4. What was your immediate gut reaction to God creating a raging ball of fire like the sun?

5. Have you ever thought of God as ferocious?

6. Re-read Philippians 2:5-8
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men.  And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
   Why do you think God (who can hold the universe in the palm of his hand) came to earth to live with us?

7. Everything in the universe was made to bring glory to God. That includes you and me. How are you bringing glory to God?
