He Still Speaks (1 of 3)
Series: Psalm 19
Jim Perdue
Psalm 19:1-6
Intro/Attention
This morning, I'm beginning a three-part series entitled, Rooted: Grow Deep. Live Strong. In this series, we will be studying Psalm 19. C. S. Lewis said of this psalm, ''I take this [Psalm 19] to be the greatest poem in The Psalms and one of the greatest lyrics in the world.''

One time, He spoke to a prophet through a donkey. He called Samuel's name in the middle of the night. Then, in the Book of Daniel He spoke without words; a hand appeared and wrote on the wall. As you think of these incredible ways that God has spoken in the past it's easy to begin to wonder, ''Does God still speak today?'' Or to ask, ''How cool would it be if God spoke to us today like He did back then!''*
But, God is not silent. He still speaks! He may speak in different ways today, but He still speaks. Psalm 19 describes how God communicates with us. The first half of Psalm 19 teaches us that God speaks through nature-th ...
