The Father-Heart of God

Michael W. Smith | August 20, 2017

If you’ve ever studied Psalm 139, you know that it celebrates the power and greatness of God. But did you know that as the “crown of Psalms” this verse addresses choir directors with words to be set to music for worship? That’s why this weekend at Saddleback Church, three-time Grammy winner, Michael W. Smith started out his message by quoting Psalm 139 and the influence music has had on his life. The talented singer-songwriter shared family stories and how his father—a true man of God—was his ultimate hero in his life. Don’t miss this remarkable message as Michael weaves Scripture into personal experiences that will encourage you and give a picture of God's endless love. You’ll learn how the singer’s time alone in nature brought him closer to Christ and drew him near to the heart of his Heavenly Father.
