Come and Worship
A. The Psalmist invites us to worship in this morning’s psalm.
1.
Individual worship should be an important part of our lives.
2. We enrich our times of worship by inviting others to join us.
B. The Psalmist’s calls reveal three dimensions of worship.
Let’s take a look...
1. “O come, let us sing to the Lord!”
2. “Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving.”
3. “O come, let us worship and bow down.”
So let’s break these down and see how the Psalmist calls us to these three elements of worship.
Music Facilitates Worship (v. 1)
1.
Here we have an invitation to sing to the Lord.
a. Singing has always been an important part of worship.

c.

2. Joyful singing honors the Lord.

3. We’ll worship the Lord in song when we get to heaven ()
a.
These songs will be about redemption by the blood of Christ.
b.
They will focus on the miracle of personal salvation.
Thanksgiving Fuels Worship (v. 2)
1. Thanksgiving flows from grateful hearts.
a. Remembering God’s provision promotes thankfulness.
- God is worthy of the joyful praise mentioned in verses 1-2 because of His majesty.
He is the great King over all gods.
Mentioning these gods (idols) does not acknowledge their reality.
It is a statement of God’s sovereignty and superiority over every force, real and imagined.
b.
We are to be constantly aware of God’s blessings ()
ps 103
2. Thankfulness moves us to worship the provider.
a. Giving thanks during worship increases contentment.
b.
Focusing on what God has given us drives the blues away.
3. We cannot worship and worry at the same time.
a. Worshipping turns our thoughts to thankful praise
b.
Thanksgiving in worship cures the negatives in life.
c. “Thanksgiving has great curative power” (A.W. Tozer)
Reverence Fosters Worship (v. 6)
ps
1. Worship may include bowing down.
a. “Let us kneel before the Lord our maker.”
b.
Humility in worship honors the Lord.
2. “Our joyful adoration of the Lord is to be humble.
We must come joyfully but not proudly; familiar as children before a father, yet reverent creatures before their maker.”
(C.
H. Spurgeon)
Conclusion:
A. Listening is also important in worship (vv.
7-8)
ps 95.7-8
B. What is God saying to you?
C. Don’t harden your heart!
Obey today!
