Sermon Title: Approaching God
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.
This coming Sunday I will begin a three week sermon series entitled, "Enter With Thanksgiving." With the Thanksgiving holiday approaching, there is no better time to consider this particular psalm than now. This week we will consider how we are to approach God. For many of us, we approach God the way we approach life itself and it often very much looks like this:
The psalmist reminds us that our attitude as we approach God should be one of thanksgiving that comes from an awareness that He is Lord of all the earth. We should not come with grateful hearts to God simply because of the blessings we receive, but because He is worthy of our thanksgiving and that should come from our understanding of Him. To approach God in this manner we must be fully aware of Who He is and how He views us. This is what we will explore this coming Sunday. I hope to see you then!
