Chosen to Praise

Posted on 11 Nov 2019, Pastor: Rev. Derek Geldart

Ever get so excited about what God has done in your life that all you want to do is climb the highest mountain, shout and praise His holy name? While we are fully aware that God sending His Son Jesus to die on a cross for those who used to be His enemies, dead in their sins and incapable of seeking God on their own is more than sufficient reasons to praise Him; one can’t help but wonder how this can be done in a manner worthy of He who has heaped upon us every spiritual blessing in Christ Jesus. Even though many of our deeds are like filthy rags and our words vain and reflect the ways of this world this does not negate the responsibility of His ambassador’s and royal priests, i.e. us Christians, to at least attempt to praise our Creator in a manner worthy of His greatness! If only we would believe that He who created us in His image can do all things, including molding and shaping our lives so that we might be living sacrifices, holy and acceptable in His sight! Today’s sermon is going to review the character, sphere and ground of our blessings in order to spur us on to not only praise and glorify His name with our lips but also through His power strive to become blameless in His sight!
