What an electrifying message! Pastor Dave delivered a powerful sermon on the transformative power of praise and worship. In this dynamic teaching, he illuminated how praise isn't just about singing songs—it's a spiritual weapon that breaks chains and ushers in God's presence. Drawing from Psalms 150 and other scriptures, Pastor Dave emphasized that worship isn't optional for those who have breath; it's our divine purpose and calling. He passionately shared how God is "enthroned in the praises of His people," explaining that when we worship, Jesus literally takes His seat among us, bringing freedom, healing, and breakthrough. Through personal stories and biblical examples, he challenged the congregation to move beyond comfort zones and offer sacrifices of praise regardless of circumstances. The message culminated in a stirring altar call where lives were changed as people responded to God's invitation to "come out of darkness into His marvelous light." This series continues to revolutionize our understanding of authentic worship and its power to transform lives.Psalms 150 Praise the Lord!Praise God in His sanctuary;Praise Him in His mighty [b]firmament!2 Praise Him for His mighty acts;Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!3 Praise Him with the sound of the [c]trumpet;Praise Him with the lute and harp!4 Praise Him with the timbrel and dance;Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!5 Praise Him with loud cymbals;Praise Him with clashing cymbals6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.Praise the Lord!Psalms 107:22 Let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving,And declare His works with rejoicing.Psalm 116:17 I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving,And will call upon the name of the Lord.Psalms 54:6 I will freely sacrifice to You;I will praise Your name, O Lord, for it is good.Hebrews 13:15 Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.Revelation 4:11“You are worthy, O Lord,To receive glory and honor and power;For You created all things,And by Your will they exist and were created.”Psalms 18:3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;So shall I be saved from my enemies.Psalms 22:3 But You are holy,Enthroned in the praises of Israel.Psalms 150:2 Praise Him for His mighty acts;Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

Pastor Al Dagel wants us to understand that God is glorious on His throne today! Psalm 29 sets the stage for this understanding.
The Enthroned KingChrist enthroned means the Church deployed. The Messiah's completed work, delegated authority, and the urgent call for believers to return to biblical and historical Christian worldview.Psalm 110 is the most quoted psalm in the entire New Testament—referenced over 26 times. This remarkable focus tells us the apostles saw it as absolutely essential for understanding who Jesus is, where He is, and what His people are called to do."The LORD says to my Lord: 'Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.'" (Psalm 110:1)Christ is ENTHRONED right now—seated at the Father's right hand in the position of completed victory and delegated authority.He is SEATED—the posture of finished work, absolute authority, and confident expectation.Notice the word "until": Christ sits enthroned UNTIL His enemies are made His footstool. This isn't Jesus doing the fighting anymore—His work is finished. This is the Father using Christ's body on earth—the Church—to advance the victory already won.This demolishes the modern retreat theology that tells believers to huddle in holy bunkers waiting for rescue.Christ is enthroned NOW. His enemies are being made His footstool NOW.The Church is the means by which this happens.We are not victims awaiting rescue. We are Kingdom operatives urgently declaring the reign of our enthroned King before His return. ➡️ Christ enthroned means the Church deployed. His victory means our advance. His finished work means our active engagement.The question isn't whether Christ is on the throne—He is. ⚔️ The question is whether His Church will act like ambassadors of an enthroned King in our time and our generation—or whether we will follow the modern theological trend that positions us as refugees from a defeated kingdom.

Psalm 2
The sermon concludes the Gospel of Mark by emphasizing the theological significance of Christ's ascension, session, and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit, revealing that Christ's exaltation to heaven is not a withdrawal but a divine establishment of His reign. Far from being distant, the ascended Christ, now seated at the right hand of God, actively governs all things for the good of His church through the power of the Holy Spirit, who confirms the gospel message and empowers its proclamation. This reality transforms the church's mission: preaching is not merely human effort but the living voice of Christ, sustained by divine authority and Spirit-empowered efficacy. The sermon calls believers to respond with reverent faith, trusting Christ's sovereign rule over all circumstances, enduring trials as part of His refining work, and submitting every area of life to His lordship, recognizing that His reign ensures the ultimate triumph of His gospel.

What if Christmas wasn't about what we receive, but about what we offer? This exploration of Matthew 2:1-12 invites us to reconsider the story of the wise men through fresh eyes, revealing how their journey was actually centuries in the making. We discover that these wealthy, educated Gentile priests likely knew about the Jewish Messiah because of Daniel's faithful witness 600 years earlier, when he served as chief over the wise men of Babylon. Their knowledge wasn't accidental—it was the fruit of one man's legacy of faithfulness in enemy territory. The gifts they brought weren't random expensive items, but intentional declarations: gold proclaimed Jesus as King, frankincense declared His divinity as God, and myrrh announced Him as Love incarnate. We're challenged to consider what gifts we can bring to Jesus on His birthday—not material possessions we don't possess, but the surrender of our lives, the offering of our worship, and acts of mercy toward those in need. The message is clear: whatever we do for the least of these, we do for Him. This Christmas, we have the opportunity to move beyond cultural excess and truly honor the One whose birth changed everything.

Luke 4:14-30 takes us into the heart of Jesus' first sermon in his hometown synagogue, where he proclaims a message that still echoes through the centuries: the day of liberation has arrived. When Jesus reads from Isaiah about bringing good news to the poor, freedom to captives, and sight to the blind, he's not just speaking about physical poverty or political oppression under Rome—he's addressing our deepest bondage, the slavery to sin that we willingly enter through our fallen nature. What makes this passage particularly striking is the crowd's reaction: they go from amazement to murderous rage in moments. Why? Because Jesus dares to suggest that God's mercy extends beyond their comfortable boundaries to include foreigners and outsiders. The Nazarenes wanted a messiah who would affirm their privilege and meet their expectations, but Jesus came to shatter those assumptions. This confrontation reveals something profound about human nature—we resist the gospel when it challenges our cultural norms, our sense of entitlement, and our desire for comfortable religion. The cross, which seemed like defeat, was actually the throne from which our King secured our freedom. The year of Jubilee isn't some distant hope; it's here now, inviting us into complete liberation through repentance and faith. We're challenged to ask ourselves: will we receive this deliverer and the uncomfortable transformation he brings, or will we, like the Nazarenes, reject him when his truth confronts our assumptions?
Christ Our King: The Word Enthroned 12.14.25 Pastor Tony Felich 2 Samuel 7:12 When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. [13] He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.[16] And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. Your throne shall be established forever.'” Psalm 2:6 “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” [7] I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you. [8] Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. Micah 5:2 But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days. Matthew 2:1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, [2] saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” Philippians 2:9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, [10] so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, [11] and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Revelation 19:11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. [12] His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. [13] He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. [14] And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. [15] From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. [16] On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. WLC 45 Q. How doth Christ execute the office of a king? A. Christ executeth the office of a king, in calling out of the world a people to himself, and giving them officers, laws, and censures, by which he visibly governs them; in bestowing saving grace upon his elect, rewarding their obedience, and correcting them for their sins, preserving and supporting them under all their temptations and sufferings, restraining and overcoming all their enemies, and powerfully ordering all things for his own glory and their good; and also in taking vengeance on the rest, who know not God and obey not the gospel.”
This week, we looked at the real tension of Christmas: Christmas is about a King, but most of us don't actually want a king. We love the idea of a God who blesses, comforts, and helps. But a God who rules us? Who directs our steps, says “no,” and sits on the throne of our lives? That is where things get uncomfortable.

This powerful Advent message challenges us to confront a question that reverberates through Luke's Gospel and into our own hearts: Who is on the throne? We journey through Luke chapter 1, where the stage is deliberately set with earthly kings—Herod ruling Judea, Caesar Augustus commanding the Roman world—only to have the angel Gabriel announce that a child will be given the throne of David, establishing a kingdom without end. This isn't just ancient prophecy; it's the fulfillment of God's promise to David from 2 Samuel, a covenant that seemed dead for a thousand years but was about to spring to life. Mary's Magnificat gives us the uncomfortable truth: for Jesus to be enthroned, the mighty must be brought down from their thrones. This applies not just to political powers but to our personal kingdoms. We cannot have Jesus as Savior without surrendering to Him as Lord. The gospel asks us pointedly: Are we like Herod, desperately clinging to control, or like Mary, who said, 'My soul magnifies the Lord'? When we magnify Jesus, He becomes greater and we become less—and paradoxically, this is where we find true freedom and exaltation. The King is coming, and He will be given the throne one way or another. The only question is whether we will surrender ours willingly.
When I first got saved and had no knowledge of the Bible, I was young and married for about a year. My idea of heaven was holding my wife's hand and flying through the universe, exploring the wonders of God's creation. The Holy Spirit, the Bible, and some maturity have changed my thoughts on the nature of heaven: "And this is eternal life, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent."John 17:3Who is the King of glory"?He is seated above creation as envisioned by Ezekiel 1:26-28"Now above the expanse that was over their heads there was something resembling a throne, like lapis lazuli in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a man. 27 Then I noticed from the appearance of His loins and upward something like glowing metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him. 28 As the appearance of the rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking."Above the angels, above. Mankind, that impenetrable expanse has been bridged by our salvation. Here in Ezekiel, the angels and humanity are humbled by that expanse. Our So What?"Do not be hasty in word or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few." Ecclesiastes 5:2Who knows, though? Perhaps, I will have time to take Cathy by the hand and fly around creation, being enraptured by God and his infinite creation.But in reality, the host of the redeemed our time will be occupied with God himself, his infinite wonder, his marvelous mercies, yes, His judgments as well. Our chief joy will be God himself.That one humbling thought should guide our prayer lives while we sojourn here on earth. Glory to God. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen1 Timothy 1:17Brethren, let's pray for one another.

This powerful exploration of Daniel chapter 7 reveals something extraordinary: we're being given answers before we even know the questions to ask. In Daniel's vision, he witnesses chaotic beasts rising from a raging sea, representing earthly empires that corrupt and destroy. Yet amid this chaos, the scene shifts dramatically to a heavenly throne room where the Ancient of Days presides in blazing glory. What makes this passage so profound is that Daniel is witnessing the ascension and enthronement of Christ—the Son of Man receiving eternal dominion—some 500-600 years before it actually happened. This isn't just ancient prophecy; it's an invitation to recognize that God's plans are older than our problems. Before Babylon, Persia, Greece, or Rome fully emerged, God already had a redemptive plan. Before we were born, He already knew how He would redeem our pain and use our struggles for good. The throne room Daniel describes isn't locked away in history—through Christ, we have access to it right now through prayer. Whatever we're seeking—peace, control, mercy, grace, love—can be found there. This Advent season challenges us to let the King of Heaven become the King of our individual lives, to experience our own personal enthronement where we crown Jesus and give Him the authority He deserves.

In Revelation 4:1–11, John is lifted through an open door into heaven—not to escape the world, but to see it rightly. Before judgment, before the seals, there is worship. At the center of all things is not chaos, but a throne—and One seated upon it, radiant in glory, surrounded by living creatures and elders casting down crowns. The message is clear: history is not out of control. Heaven rules. Our worship on earth mirrors the eternal chorus of heaven— “Worthy are You, O Lord!”Please complete the content survey here.My Portion: A 40 Day Journey of Finding All you Need in GodMusings of A Redneck Reverend
