Ivitation.

Introduction:

‌

If there is something that provokes emotion in the life of a human being, it is when he receives an invitation. Who doesn't love invitations? when you are invited to a birthday, wedding, BBQ, baby shower. (in other words)

‌They considered you to be a part of history, celebration, joy. Such is your excitement that you separate the date in the diary, go out and buy clothes and gifts so you don't arrive empty-handed.

‌

But this morning I didn't come to make you an invitation for a BBQ, or a birthday.... I have come to invite you to praise God, just as the psalmist did in Psalm 150....

‌

I. Where? everywhere.

‌

Inside the Sanctuary, the praise inside the Temple?

‌

a) Come to the temple with thanksgiving and praise to God.

To come in silence, empty-handed, in negativity.

People who come out of obligation, entertainment, customs

‌

IT WORRIES ME AS PEOPLE WHO COME.... AND THEY DON'T PRAISE AND I PRAISE

‌

b- Out- Firmament Praise on earth and in heaven?

‌

1. Wherever you are, you must praise God.

‌

Example: car, house, work.......

‌

2. If the angels in heaven praise Him, you and I were also created to praise.

‌

Unfortunately, there are people who don't praise or pay them.

‌

In other words, they praise everywhere.

‌

There is no place where worship is not appropriate. Praise Him inside the temple, praise Him outside the temple, BUT PLEASE PRAISE THE CREATOR!

‌

II. Why?

‌

1. mighty act - (what God has done) For who God has not done something?

‌

Just the fact that you were able to get to the temple, that tells me that God has done something to your life.

God heals, restores, delivers, blesses, multiplies. If God has done any of those things in your life, do you have reason to praise Him?

‌

BUT God is not only praised for the things he does, but also for who he is.

‌

b- His exellent greatness (what God is) Who is God?

‌

Attributes: God is holy, loving, merciful, faithful, good, .....

`In other words, praise always.

‌

Isn't it just the psalmist who speaks of the Where? Why? but also with what.

‌

III. With what? Every instrument. Praise God with every instrument.

‌

a-Musical Instrument- It's not the instrument, it's the one who plays the instrument.

‌

1- The Human Ear - Musical Notes? They like C, D, E, F, G, A, B. Because for us it's very nice that it sounds good, and everything is in line with the musical notes.

‌

NO.... (C = hate, D = with spite, E = with evil, F without Faith;)

‌

But if not in the ear of God, harmony is when it is united....

‌

2-The ear of God... C =Peace, D =Love, E =Joy, F = Faith, G = Goodness, A =Temperance, B =Patience

‌

when you praise God, you have to do it in perfect harmony. Because he is a perfect God and deserves perfect praise.

But there is hope for those of us who don't have that grace to sing and play instruments. It's that the psalmist concludes...

‌

Application: Buy a Battery, don't take a beat out of it...

‌

IV. Who? Every Person

‌

a- Everythig that hath breath - By His breath God created all things (Ps.33:6) and by ours we should worship Him.

‌

1- I don't play an instrument, but I have a VOICE, I have a LIFE. You can say a

‌HALLELUJAH, you can say Glory to God, you can say Holy...... But don't be silent. Use Your Voice..... but whatever breathes (whatever has life) praises God.

‌

No matter the culture, you can praise, no matter what language, you can praise, no matter what nationality you are, you can praise.

‌

PRAISE UNITES US AS ONE PEOPLE.

‌

3. In this Psalm it is completely full of praise to God, and not a single word of complaint or petition is found in it.

‌

‌Acts 16 : 25-26

PAUL AND SILAS, THEY KNEW THIS SECRET, THEY WERE IMPRISONED AND THEY WORSHIPPED, THEY DID NOT COMPLAIN NOR DID THEY ASK ONLY THEY WORSHIPPED GOD........ Even if you find yourself in trouble or in situations, just PRAISE GOD...

Even if there is corona virus, we are going to praise God...

‌

CONCLUSION: The book of Psalms begins with a blessing to God on the righteous (Ps 1:1) and concludes with all creation blessing God (Psalm 150).

Psalm 150

.

called: Anyone who wants to accept the invitation to praise God. Come and come and praise.
