Psalm 100

Worshiping our Good God

INTRO

Clark Dickson

Third time preaching on this date

Thank the church

Title of the sermon

This is not a hard text to understand. Strait forward

But this is hard text for me to preach. There is not a hint of sadness in it or troubles

I want to say I fail in this area of my life but that would be wrong to say. You see worship is not an area of our life. Its like we have band on this night and work now, kids then doctors appoints. WORSHIP IS OUR WHOLE LIFE (ADD PIPER QUOTE)

It comes down to what is the purpose in our life.

Some today would offer that the best purpose for your life is to make yourself happy. But at the in there never really any happiness.

Worship of God is different it has an eternal nature that has no end.

example about a sports team winning the championship. (does not last)

What does last is the worship of our good God. Thats what is all about

There are 3 parts, How to Worship, Who we are in Worship, and Why we should Worship God

Read text

How to Worship 1,2,4

There are a list of commands

Make a joyful Noise

Serve

Come into his presence

Enter his gates and courts

Who we are in Worship 3

People often say You know it does not matter what you believe as long as you believe sincerely.

What we see from the this Psalm is something different. we are to worship God with an understanding of who he is and who we are. (RePeat.)

We have to understand who God is. We need the rest of the bible for that.

For an example, if you you have this idea in your mind thta God is some powerful focus that helps good people do good. You are actionally not worshipping God. Worshipping an idol

The LORD is a personal name. Attruptues

We are made by him

Why we should Worship 5
