Preaching at Christ Church of Atlanta on August 19, 2018, Ken Boa connects passages from Psalm 147, Proverbs 9, and Ephesians 5, emphasizing how the glory and beauty of creation should lead us into praise and worship of the Creator, who in turn calls us to walk in wisdom (with every aspect of our lives under His dominion).
