Text: Psalm 29

Main Idea: God is glorious, so we do not have to fear others.

  1. The Truth about God: God is glorious! (vs. 1-9)
    • Exodus 19:16-25
    • Exodus 20:18-21
    • Proverbs 9:10
  2. The Implication for us: We don't have to fear others. (vs. 10-11)
    • Proverbs 29:25
    • Fear of man is displayed in two ways:
      1. We live for the approval of others.
      2. We live to avoid the disapproval of others.
    • Exodus 33:18-23
    • Exodus 34:5-7
  3. The Response to the truth: faith and repentance.
    • Matthew 17:1-5; John 1:1, 14; Hebrews 1:1-3; Colossians 1:15-20; Romans 8:16-17; 2 Corinthians 4:4-6; John 5:44; John 12:42-43; Psalm 27:1

Discussion Questions: Does God's voice carry the most weight in your life? Do you struggle with craving the approval of people or fearing rejection by people? Why? At the heart level, do you truly see God as all glorious? The fear of man can produce: discontentment, unhealthy dependence, cynicism, and bitterness. Do you see fruit like this in your life? How can you take one step from unbelief to belief today? What does it look like for you to repent and believe the truth? With whom could you talk about these struggles?
