Words of Glory
Every so often in Scripture, characters or writers interrupt themselves to talk about how great God is. We call these passages “doxologies.” The word comes from doxa, meaning “glory” and logos, meaning words, so it literally means “words of glory.” Why does this happen? People who really know God can’t stop talking about Him. They long for you to know Him, because knowing Him is the meaning of life. As we encourage our people to connect with God, this series will help them see why that’s so important.
