Do you spend more time focusing on what is wrong than on what God has done? Psalm 103 is a life-changing reminder that we were made for praise, not pessimism. David had to remind himself over and over again to bless the Lord, and so do we.The benefits are staggering. Every sin forgiven. Every transgression removed as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103:12). A God who is merciful, gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. We do not bless the Lord enough because we focus on the wrong things and forget the God things. This week, start counting the benefits. Name them one by one. The whole universe is already praising Him. Get in on it.Join us as we continue through Psalm 103 together.

From Pit To Praise (Psalm 40) by Josiah Graves

The Text: Psalm 126 (New Living Translation) — a psalm of praise recalling Israel's return from exile in Babylon. Opening Hook — The "Fresh Start" Effect Vijay begins by observing the universal human longing for a fresh start — at New Year, birthdays, or even a Monday morning. Beneath that, he argues, is a deeper desire: not just to improve, but to be made new — to undo mistakes and mend what's broken. That longing, he says, sits at the heart of Psalm 126. The Historical Context The psalm recalls Israel's return from decades of Babylonian exile. When the Persian king Cyrus allowed them to go home, it seemed impossible — like a dream. The surrounding nations even marvelled: "The Lord has done amazing things for them." Vijay notes this sits at the literal centre of the psalm — the focus is on what God did, not what Israel achieved. The Deeper Exile Israel's real problem was never Babylon — that was just a symptom. Their deeper problem was distance from God. And Vijay broadens this: it's everyone's story. All humanity was created for relationship with God but has wandered far — making us all spiritual exiles. Jesus as the Way Home Jesus didn't come merely as a moral teacher or inspiring figure. He came to bring exiles home. At the cross, he experienced the exile we deserved — crying out "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" — so that we could be brought in, adopted as children of God, and welcomed home. Restoration Is a Process When the psalmist prays "restore our fortunes," it seems puzzling — weren't they already home? Vijay explains: restoration has begun, but it isn't finished. He illustrates this with a vivid image of a derelict house. When someone buys it, the ownership changes instantly — but the renovation takes time. Similarly, when someone trusts Christ, they belong to God immediately, but God then begins the ongoing work of rebuilding from the inside out. The Desert Image The psalmist prays for restoration "as streams renew the desert" — referring to the Negev, where dry riverbeds suddenly burst to life when the rains come. The prayer is: Lord, do that for our dry places — our regret, grief, guilt, and shame. Closing — Sowing in Tears The psalm ends with a farmer image: he weeps as he plants, because every seed buried could have fed his family — yet he trusts the harvest. That, says Vijay, is what faith looks like. Not just believing in your head, but entrusting yourself fully to God's promises even when you can't yet see them. Every act of obedience — forgiving someone, resisting temptation, keeping on praying through disappointment — is sowing seed in hope. The final promise: tears are real, but they're not the last chapter. The harvest is coming. The Bible ends not with sorrow or exile, but with joy — every sin removed, every tear wiped away, every exile brought safely home. 0:00 Introduction & Series Context 1:18 The Fresh Start Effect 2:19 The Deeper Longing to Be Made New 3:32 Psalm 126 — Reading 4:46 Israel's Exile and the Impossible Return 6:44 God's Amazing Things — The Centre of the Psalm 7:16 Israel's Story Is Everyone's Story 8:49 Jesus — The Way Home 10:33 Restoration Has Only Just Begun 12:09 The Derelict House Illustration 14:36 Streams in the Desert 15:29 Sowing in Tears — What Faith Looks Like 18:28 The Final Chapter Is Joy 19:32 Baptism — Being Brought Home

From Shame to Praise | Psalm 30 | 06/14/26 by

BEFORE THE DAY BEGINS - PT. 5 A Time of Praise Psalm 100:4 “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” As we come to the end of our morning devotion time this week, there is one final step that is often overlooked but it's incredibly important: Praise. Many of us begin our prayer and devotion time by bringing our burdens, concerns, needs, and requests before the Lord. There is certainly nothing wrong with that. God invites us to cast our cares upon Him because He cares for us. But if we are not careful, we can spend all of our time focused on our problems and leave without ever focusing on His greatness. The final thoughts of our devotion time should not be centered on what is wrong in our lives, but on what is right about God. SONG: “This Song of Praise” Written and Composed By: Eddie B.

All Creation Praise - Psalm 148 - Dave Thornton (11am, ALL IN) by Christ Church Winchester

This week, Pastor John launched our new sermon series Practicing with a message from Psalm 34 on the practice of praise. We learned that praise is often a choice before it becomes a feeling, as it redirects glory from ourselves back to God. As we recount God's faithfulness, praise invites us to step fully into who God is and all He has done.

This sermon exploring Psalm 145 characterizes the season of Advent as a spiritual journey that culminates in a lifestyle of thanksgiving. The speaker outlines a biblical framework where gratitude is a direct response to God's nature as great, good, and faithful, rather than a reaction to personal circumstances. By examining how God initiates grace through protection and provision, the text argues that true worship requires active confession and testimony. The message concludes by challenging listeners to transition from passive spectators of grace to active participants through praise, witness, and generosity. Ultimately, the source presents thanksgiving not as a fleeting emotion, but as a disciplined way of life that carries believers into the new year.Support the showThanks for listening!

Join Peter Hockley from Oxford Bible Church as he explores the theme of overcoming weariness through faith in God. Drawing from Isaiah 40, he delves into how believers can find renewed strength and hope amidst life's challenges. Discover the power of praise and the importance of trusting in God's promises to transform a weary soul. The CAUSES of a Weary Soul: (1) WICKEDNESS (Psalm 38:4-6), (2) the WORLD, and (3) WORK. The CURE for a weary soul is the strength of the Lord (Isaiah 40:29-31, John 16:33). The immediate CURE for a weary soul is PRAISE (Psalm 34:1-6, 100:4, Matthew 6:9, Isaiah 61:3, Philippians 3:1, 4:4). We can PRAISE because: (1) GOD IS WITH US (Isaiah 41:10, 43:2), and (2) GOD IS WORKING (John 5:17), and (3) GOD WILL WIN.

From the Pit to Praise (Psalm 40) - Dr. Bill Cook

Scripture: David's Psalms. This is the final teaching in the “David…and the Heart of God” series. We will explore David's Psalms today. In 2 Samuel 23:1 we read that David is described as the sweet psalmist of Israel.  David's psalms have influence and spoke to the hearts of people for millennia.   C.S. Lewis said, “The most valuable thing the psalms do for me is to express that small delight in God which made David dance.”  And Billy Graham said, “I used to read five psalms every day - that teaches me how to get along with God. Then I read a chapter of Proverbs every day and that teaches me how to get along with my fellow man.” 75 of the 150 Psalms were written by David. Some themes in David's Psalms with a few examples: Praise - Psalm 95:1-2, Psalm 57:9-11, Psalm 103:1-3. We are encouraged to begin everything with praise, it honors God and brings refreshment to our souls. Praise takes our eyes off ourselves and putts them on God. True meaning for life is found only in God our Savior. David teaches us to praise the Lord from the heart even when we feel like we're at the bottom of the pit, because God heals and His name is to be praised. Penitence - Psalm 32:1-2 & 5, Psalm 139:23-24, Psalm 51:1-2. David's psalms help us recognize we are spiritually poor and needy and we are to be humble before God because we are all sinners. David shows us words of confession for transgression because we can be confident that through faith in Christ, God forgives. Our sins are paid for through Jesus' sacrificial death.  The Lord is merciful, He washes away our sin. Presence - Psalm 32:7, Psalm 145:18.  God is near, He is present, we cannot flee from Him. His presence gives hope and healing. He is near to all who call Him. He is unfailingly present in our lives. Prayer - Psalm 25:4-5, Psalm 141, 2-4.  Psalms are used for prayer, and are a good way to begin our day. They guide us in how to pray honestly before God and we see that through David's prayerful words we can draw near to the Lord. David's Psalms are filled with words asking the Lord for guidance, direction, strength against sin, power for the spiritual battle, and prayers seeking God and His face. Protection - Psalm:1 & 3, Psalm 18:1-2, Psalm 55:18 7 22. The Lord is our Protector and the One who defends us and we are to call upon Him.  He is the Stronghold of our lives.  God is our Rock, Shield, our Strength, our place of Refuge, our Fortress, our Deliverer. The Lord sustains us and He cares for us. Prophecy - Psalm 110:1, Psalm 22:1 & 16018 & 29-31. David spoke much prophecy about the coming Messiah. David shared prophetic words even about the day that Jesus would be on the cross a thousand years before Jesus' death. David understood prophetically the love of Jesus who would say, “It is finished.” And through prophetic understanding David saw the finished work of Christ. Pastor ends by encouraging us to read through David's Psalms this week: 2-9, 11-32, 34-41, 51-65, 68-70, 86, 95, 101, 103, 108-110, 122, 124, 131, 133, 138-145 Now What?

A Psalm of International Praise _ Psalm 67 by Cypress Bible Church

Psalm 22: 23-28

Taylor and Jose sit down with Rhonda Patterson to talk about the 4th of July food, and how to praise God in the midths of tragidy

The power of praise has transformative effects that extend from understanding the Word to prophesying, experiencing deliverance, sharing testimony, and finally expressing genuine praise to God.• Biblical praise means to boast about God, not ourselves, and sometimes requires looking foolish in the eyes of others• David's journey to recover the Ark of the Covenant teaches that we lose our praise when we don't understand God's ways yet receive blessings despite our mistakes• True worship may appear undignified to others, but God sees the heart behind your praise• Your praise needs to come before your breakthrough – it's an act of faith to celebrate in advance• The enemy attacks your praise because he knows its power to transform your situation• Everyone has their own praise expression, whether quiet or demonstrative, but all praise must be authentic• Many people withhold praise because of pride, concern about appearance, or unwillingness to be vulnerable• Supernatural testimonies arise when believers collectively praise God with abandonJoin us in church, as we experience the power of praise together. Your breakthrough might be connected to your willingness to praise without inhibition. Welcome To Chosen City Church!

In this message from Psalm 33, we're reminded that praise isn't just a feeling—it's a vocal and intentional response to the goodness, power, and faithfulness of God. We were made to praise, and God is worthy of every sound we lift to Him.

Where Israel Awakens and the Stranger Finds Refuge.

Pastor Jose reflects on the 4th of July floods and how we can move in as a church body to pray, move, and praise.

This morning in our text, we are called to “shout for joy” and to “sing praises.” And while Psalm 66 does not call on us to paint our faces or hump it with the Fightin' Texas Aggie Yell Leaders, it does dive deeply into praise—commanding us to praise, examining the focus of our praises, and laying out our right response in praise. This morning, we are going to study praise.

In this sermon, we explore the anatomy of Christian worship: the what, why, when, how, and who.Human beings aren't just thinkers or lovers or doers; we are worshipers. And the Bible calls us to worship God. So what exactly does that look like? Series Description: The Psalms are the song book of God's people, and each summer we mine their riches. Their imagery, poetry, and theology invite us to deeper worship of God and remind us of his unchanging character.
