Sermons About Praise
Needing a Vacation (Psalm 104)
Life is filled with all sorts of landscape. An all terrain faith is equally balanced for the breathtaking view from the mountaintop and the confusing trek though a cold, dark valley. It provides adequate support for walking in rough, rocky stretches and stability for the slippery spots. In this exploration of the Psalms, we will see that no matter where you find yourself in life there is an appropriate faith response to your life situation. Are you ready for the hike?

Observing and Praising the Lord
This psalm, like many places in Scripture, commands us to praise the Lord with joy. This does not mean that we should manufacture an artificial emotional response but that we should observe the majesty of God and His perfect character and then respond accordingly. We sometimes have trouble praising God and this often happens because we haven’t spent enough time observing and meditating on who He is and what He has done for us, especially from what we see in the Bible. When we stop and spend time thinking about how powerful, faithful, trustworthy, and loving the Lord is it will help us to respond to His greatness with fitting words of praise.

The Road to Real Life
We are going to experience pot holes in the road to Real Life. At times the reality of this is trying. Our road to Real Life should be paved with adoration. We are brought by our road to a place of praise for many reasons. Our God is a God of mercy because he gives us a new start. Through Jesus we have the hope of life. His resurrection should cause an erruption of praise. We should praise God for the gift of our indestructible inheritance and his hand of protection. Where does the rubber hit the road of Real Life for you?

To the Praise of His Glory
In the opening sermon of this series, we looked at the Apostle Paul's spontaneous outburst of praise when contemplating the work of the triune God in creating a people for His own glory. The three persons of the Trinity were at work - the Father electing, the Son redeeming, and the Spirit sealing - all to build a new community, the church, which would exist for the glory of God.

A Worshipping Community
These days, there is an appetite for spirituality and a distaste for "church." Is this really what God wanted? The church was intended to be a dynamic, life-giving movement of people who experience and extend the love of God together. In fact, Jesus said that you can't be spiritual on your own, that the spiritual life is something we do together. If you catch a glimpse of God's dream for doing life together, we are convinced you'll never want anything less.

He is God and We are not
Nebuchadnezzar was a man who ruled the known world. This went to his head and pride consumed him. Nebuchadnezzar was forced to go to the bottom. The king of the known world ate grass like cattle. God may not do this in the same way today, but he often allows things that are very similar. Often times he will allow to go to the bottom until our pride is gone and we can truly rely on him. The only thing that pride ever really accomplishes is keeping us from realizing who is truly in charge.

Caracteristicas de la Adoracion/Worship
La adoracion significativa es una que nos vaciamos, no se trata de nosotros y lo que recibimos sino lo que damos. True worship is one in which we empty ourselves, is not about us and one in which we are more concerned with giving instead of receiving.

Psalms 42 & 43
Like David, when our souls are "disquieted" within us, do we keep ourselves vulnerable to God through praise and trust? Do we tap into the source of our strength, the living waters of comfort and restoration that are offered us?

Ive got the victory
Many are facing challenges, sometimes from multiple enemies. We already have the victory. We need to follow the steps of Jehoshaphat to see the Lord work out this victory for us. We need to praise God now, before we see the victory. When our enemies are defeated, we’ll come out with so much spoil, it will take 3 days to gather it all.

The Crime of Christmas
"At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah's home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be accomplished!"

An Appetite For God (1 Corinthians 14:12-33)
It seems that most of us have some sort of craving for the Divine, a connection with something or someone much larger than ourselves. Unfortunately, many who are hungry for God find it difficult to connect with him in Christian worship services. In this sermon, we will look at how we can daily experience God, and what it takes to foster an appetite for him.

Will They Know that God is Real?
In week 2 of this sermon series, we take a step back and wrestle with the challenge of Psalm 40:3. Will people know that God is real by our worship? Will they know He is real by our stories? Through testimony and musical worship, we explore how these things are (and should continue to be) true of us. Enjoy this rare full-service of music, scripture and testimony.
