HEY LET’S PRAISE THE LORD
Psalm 100: 1 (A Psalm of praise.) Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Over the years a great number of Churches in the United States are steadily declining.
Our churches are becoming a thing of the past.
Not buildings, programs or size.
We are talking about serving the Lord giving him honor and all glory.
What makes a church great here are four things I believe makes churches.
1. A praying church.
2. One that preaches the word.
3. Gives all praise to the Lord.
4. Full of Love for one another.
David gives us examples of how to praise our Lord.
(1) Psalm 100: 1 (A Psalm of praise.) Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
Singing God praise
Shouting when he leads us
One that preaches the word.
(2) Why we should praise the Lord.
100: 2 Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
People that are saved know they should come to church.
Hebrews 10:25 | View whole chapter | See verse in context
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
(3) We must understand we are to praise God
3 Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Number one because he is God.
5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Our creator He is our shepherd
He is forgiving He is good to us
He is merciful He is truthful
He is Elohim The strong one
He is Jehovah The self existent one
God is Omnipresent Present ever where.
God is Omnipotent All powerful
He a sovereign one
