Offering the Sacrifice of Praise (1 of 3)
by Ken Trivette
1. In both the Old and New Testaments you find many references to the priest and the priesthood. In the Old Testament the priesthood involved a specific family. Under Levitical arrangements the priesthood was limited to one tribe, the tribe of Levi, and to only one family of that tribe, the family of Aaron. Yet in the New Testament we find that the priesthood involves a spiritual family. 2. We read in 1 Peter 2:9, ''But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:'' Peter tells us that every person that...
The Palms, the Praise, and the Parade of Palm Sunday
by Donald Cantrell
Theme: Considering the events of Palm Sunday Introduction: We all have witnessed various kinds of celebrations and parades. In the text before us we read of ‘‘The Triumphal Entry’’ of Jesus into Jerusalem. This would have been a meager illustration of triumph to those watching this scenario unfold. In those days of Roman stronghold and worldwide domination, the Romans set the standard for parades and celebrations. The very word ‘‘triumph’’ or the Latin word ‘‘triumphus’’ exudes the true meaning of someone being triumphant. The Roman Triumphus was a ritual procession that was the highest honor bestowed...
Praise the Lord
by Claude Thomas
Introduction: The present generation of Christians is somewhat polarized by this matter of praise. Some want to totally exclude it because of a reaction to certain "other religious extremists who do the strangest things and call it praise." Others want to make it their all in all because of a reaction to certain "other religious extremists who have no liberty at all." Now these extremists, reacting to extremists, have contributed greatly to the confusion regarding praise for the 20th century committed, conservative Christian who is interested in knowing truth and discovering abundant life in God. If we are interested in praise from a...
Praise to the Trinity
by Adrian Rogers
Amen. I tell you what, that is marvelous and wonderful what Jesus is to us, thank you so much for helping us to worship today in music. Take God's word please and turn with me to Ephesians chapter one. 'This is a Thanksgiving message. The title of our message today is PRAISE TO THE TRINITY. Let me give you a secret friend. The secret of everything, really when you get to the bottom line is just praise. That's what we're going to do in all eternity, we're going to in all eternity, we're going to praise the Lord. That's why we're saved, so we can praise him and worship him and sometimes if your prayers get dry, begin to...
Praise for the Pain
by Terry J. Hallock
Paul experienced the greatest spiritual high anyone could imagine as he was taken in the Spirit to the highest level of Heaven where he heard ''inexpressible things, things that man is not permitted to tell.'' Yet in only a short time following that marvelous and wonderful gift from God Paul was attacked by what he described as a ''a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me.'' We are never told what that physical attack was. Some have suggested it was a disease of the eyes while others have speculated that it might have been a cancer. We will never know. What we do know however is that Paul went to the Lord in prayer - not...
The Power of Praise
by Mark Baker
Wow, we think we have it bad. When was the last time you had your life threatened for doing the will of God? What did Paul and Silas do when they found themselves in a really terrible situation? They were basically in a giant septic pit under the jail in terrible conditions, having been severely beaten, and bleeding for the cause of Christ . They began praising God out loud. So loud in fact that the other prisoners heard them and were listening in. They weren't singing and praising God for being in this mess. They were praising Him in spite of it. They were praising their deliverer. Get a hold of that! Don't you know God must have taken...
The Importance of Praise
by David Davis
Psalm 100 is the Psalm of Praise; or rather of Thanksgiving. This is the only Psalm bearing this precise inscription. It could be entitled: The Psalm of Praise. v. 1 - ''Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands.''This is a repetition of Psalm 98:4. The original word signifies a glad shout, such as the reception of a king from his loyal subjects. Our happy God should be worshipped by a happy people. Never will the world be in its proper condition till with one unanimous shout it adores the only God. Philippians 2:9-11 - Jesus is Lord! v. 2 - ''Serve the Lord with gladness.''It is our privilege to serve the Lord in all things. The servant of God is...
The Restoration Of Praise (6 of 9)
by Stan Coffey
Somebody said that praise is the missing jewel of the modern church. As you look back upon your life and examine your experience, particularly if you have been in the Baptist church, or if you have been in one of the main line denominations, the thing that is missing so many times is praise. Yet, that was not the intention of God. I want you to turn first to Psalm 22, and I want us to read several verses on praise and the importance of praise. I think people today are hungry for reality in worship. They are hungry for the real presence of the living God and they are hungry to have the need of their heart satisfied. We can only be satisfied...
Our Purpose: His Praise
by John McKain
How will we praise our Lord this Christmas season? Will we praise him by simply attending the Christmas pageantry hosted by a multitude of churches? Will we seize the spirit of love and giving, at this time of the year, to reach out to others? Will we praise him with renewed commitments of obedience to his beckoning call on our lives? I submit to you that God, in this season of the year, as well as every day of the annual calendar, longingly desires us to fulfill our God given purpose. For God, that is praise enough. God desires that we present our lives as living sacrifices of obedience. For God, that is praise enough...
The Power Of Perpetual Praise
by Adrian Rogers
Now, I want you to take God's word tonight and fifty seven with me please. Here is a very wonderful been a blessing to my heart through the years. Psalm and verse seven. My heart is fixed O God, my heart is fixed, I will sing and give praise. That is a tremendous verse. Now, when David says that his heart is fixed it doesn't mean that he's had a broken heart and it's been repaired, but what he does mean is this, that my heart is steadfast immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. I have in my heart a resolute purpose. I will sing, I will praise. I have determined that I will live a life of perpetual praise. I want you to think tonight on this subject...
The Power of Praise in Perilous Times
by Robert Walker
Psalm 146 is the picture of a person who had been through some kind of shattering experience, who had put his faith in men and it failed, who had put his faith in government and it failed, who had put his faith in the arm of flesh and it had failed, and he had learn that the only way he could stand, the only way he could have resources to live was to learn how to put his faith in God. And in this Psalm he gives us a formula for living; the formula that will work in any hard place, the formula that will work whenever you are under duress. I. NOTICE FIRST OF ALL PERPETUAL PRAISE. (V1-2) 1. In verse 1 and 2 you see a theme of perpetual praise. All my...
Is Praise Your Logo?
by Jerry Branch
All throughout church history, when God's people wanted to praise Him, do you know what they have turned to? Throughout the centuries, God's people have found that the very best way of offering praise to Him was to go directly to His Word, and so many times as not, they would turn to the book of Psalms, and read them or sing them together. So, Why is praising God so important anyway? First, off, we're commanded to do so in the Word... Psalm 30:4 tells us, "Sing praise to the LORD, You saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.1" Sing Praise to the Lord, You saints of His...Folks...are we not His saints? ...the...
A Universal Hymn of Praise
by J. Gerald Harris
There was a missionary who was far away from home, and life had been very difficult for her. She had many, many struggles and very little results in her work. She was sad. She was down. The mail came as she was looking out her second floor window, looking at the crowded streets and the people that she had been called to serve. She sat down upstairs, looking out that window as she opened her mail. One letter was from her sister back in the United States. God used this letter immediately to cheer her up and to encourage her. And as she read the news and thought of what it was like to be with her sister, to feel her embrace and to...
Let's Define the Word "Praise"
by Daniel Rodgers
INTRODUCTION: 1. The 150th Psalm is a Psalm of praise to the Lord. Every single verse lifts His name--extolling Him--praising Him...telling us how to praise Him with instruments and song. In (vs.6), it says, "Let everything that that breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord." DEFINITION: According to Harold Sala, "The word "praise" is a Hebrew word, a compound of two words; "hallal" and "jah." The first word, "hallal," means "to praise," and the word "jah" is the word for God, the same word which gives us the word Jehovah. Simply put, the word means "praise be to God" or "praise the Lord." 1 ILLUS: This was the same word...
Praise a Pathway to Joy
by Robert Dawson
A lady looking out the windows on both sides of her plane as she flew to Cleveland and noticed something that caught her attention. As she looked through the windows on one side of the plane she saw a beautiful sunset that lit up the sky with brilliant colors. When she looked out the other side of the plane she saw a dark, black and rather ominous looking cloud overtaking the horizon. As she looked back and forth between the different scenes, one beautiful and the other foreboding, she saw an object lesson for life in them. As we travel through life we will experience our share of storms, tragedy, fear and stress. We will also...
Grateful Praise (1 of 4)
by Stephen Whitney
Worship is the creature acknowledging what the creator has done. It is giving God the glory that he is due because of his greatness. The blind hymn writer Fanny Crosby described worship well: To God be the glory great things He hath done! Thomas Watson wrote, “Praising God is one of the highest and purest acts of religion. In prayer we act like men; in praise we act like angels.”One time when David was running from Saul he found safety in a Philistine town and out of that experience he wrote Psalm 34. Psalm 34:2-3 My soul makes its boast in the Lord . . . Oh, magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt his name together. Charles...
The Praise Of The Wise (4 of 5)
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: When I was a boy, every December we'd sing: We Three Kings Of Orient Are'' Stand with me and let's sing just the first verse together: ''We three kings of Orient are, bearing gifts we traverse afar. Field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder star. O star of wonder, star of night, star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, guide us to thy perfect Light.''READ SCRIPTURE PRAYER Please be seated. The song tells us the Kings from the Orient ''traversed afar''.How far was ''afar''?? Well some believe they may have traveled about 1000 miles to get to Bethlehem. That's roughly the same distance as from...
Garments of Praise (3 of 4)
by Donald Cantrell
Isa 61:3 KJV - To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.This sermon contains a fully alliterated outline with sub-points. Garment Change Dr. Ravi Zacharias came up with a true witty story of a New Zealand Shepherd who was happy on a Christmas morning, sad in the afternoon but once again happy in the evening. What exactly contributed to his mood swings? Here goes...in the morning two of his ewes' ''A'' and ''B'' gave...
Empty Praise (1 of 3)
by Bob Ingle
Take out your bible and turn to Luke 19. I want to show you a picture that is absolutely fascinating to me. Some of you have seen this; it's from this past October. The guy leaping off that little space capsule thing in the astronaut suit is Felix Bumgardener. Felix is a crazy 43-year-old high altitude jumper from Austria. That little space capsule that he jumped from was hooked to a balloon that took him to the edge of earth's atmosphere some 25 miles up into outer space. Then Felix took one step off the ladder, and he rapidly descended those 25 miles from outer space to earth. As he was falling, he fell at a super sonic speed of 834...
