Praising God is a continuous choice.  God has given us free will, and when we choose to praise Him continually, it puts us in a position to receive His blessings.  In this episode Rabbi shares how to praise God continually. **** BECOME A MONTHLY PARTNER - https://djj.show/YTAPartner  **** DONATE - https://djj.show/YTADonate  **** TEACHING NOTES - https://djj.show/gkd   Visit our website at DiscoveringTheJewishJesus.com

Why is it that so little of the passionate worship that once characterized the people of God is seen in the church today? Why are we often mere uncommitted spectators, rather than true worshippers? Join Dr. James Boice on The Bible Study Hour as he ponders these questions and the state of modern worship from Psalm 134.

In this episode, we continue our book study on Friendship in the Lord and reflect on the gift of friendship as a foretaste of heaven and a living image of God's love. We talk about how we are meant to journey through life with each other, how God bonds us together along the way, and how these friendships are meant to last forever. We also discuss the gift of praising God for our friends, what it means to behold and not possess beauty, and how focusing on gratitude allows us to hold joy and sorrow in tension.    Announcement: You can buy your copy of Friendship in the Lord from Ave Maria Press (or Amazon).   Journal Questions: Who has accompanied you through the valleys and mountaintops of your life? When do I show up to my friendships from a place of woundedness, deficiency, or insecurity? How is the Lord inviting me into deeper security? What is the Lord inviting me to delight in? How have I turned my unmet expectations into demands in my friendships?   Discussion Questions: What are you grateful for? Where in your life are you experiencing the Lord's presence in the midst of suffering? When have unmet expectations turned into demands on a relationship?  How do you cultivate delight and gratitude in your life?   Quote to Ponder: "Friends in the Lord always turn one another toward the Lord. They are not forever gazing at each other, but together they look to the Lord and to their brothers and sisters in the Lord." (Friendship in the Lord, Page 101)   Scripture for Lectio: "We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people's trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming.  But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,  from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body's growth in building itself up in love." (Ephesians 4:14-17)    Sponsor - Word on Fire's new film, Heaven in Stone and Glass, produced in partnership with Spirit Juice Studios: Beauty has the power to draw us beyond ourselves and point us toward something more. One of our favorite places in the United States is the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. When we are there, beauty has a way of speaking to the ache that we can't name. It is as though our soul knows where it belongs. It feels like a homecoming. Word on Fire's Heaven in Stone and Glass is a new film exploring the beauty, meaning, and evangelizing power of sacred architecture. Journey across France with Bishop Barron as he explores five of the world's most iconic Gothic cathedrals: Chartres, Notre-Dame, Reims, Amiens, and Saint-Denis. Through soaring arches, stained glass, sacred imagery, and centuries of history, Bishop Barron reveals the theological meaning embedded within these extraordinary spaces and explores why their beauty continues to stir something deep within the human soul. Heaven in Stone and Glass invites believers and skeptics alike on a cinematic pilgrimage and asks us to consider what these sacred spaces have proclaimed for centuries: that beauty can reveal something about God and awaken us to the transcendent. Word on Fire's Heaven in Stone and Glass, a production of Spirit Juice Studios, is coming to theaters nationwide on September 20th and 23rd.

This week we are reading Revelation chapter 7, a vision that unfolds in the midst of the unsealing of seals and undoing of worlds as we have known them. It's a vision that seems anchored in the past and the future simultaneously, a vision that evoked for us Ezekiel and Isaiah and Genesis and Kohelet and Exodus and also a also future time when whatever suffering the faithful have endured, they can stand together in their multitudes and praise the one true Source. It's an image that, at the very least, can make the work of our time less lonely.

Are you truly satisfied, or are you just getting by with things that never last? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Psalm 63 in the KJV and shows us what it means to be a passionate believer who finds full and lasting satisfaction in the Lord Jesus Christ.You might be asking: Why should I praise God every day, not just on Sundays? What does it mean that God's lovingkindness is better than life? How do I stop worrying and start trusting God? Can anything in this world truly satisfy me?Pastor Webster walks us through these key truths from God's Word:- God's lovingkindness is better than life itself, and that truth should fuel daily praise- The Apostle Paul tells us in Philippians 4:6 to stop worrying and bring everything to God in prayer with thanksgiving- Praising God in church should flow from a life of praise at home and at work- True and lasting satisfaction is only found in the Lord Jesus Christ, not in money, pleasure, or people- Colossians 3 calls us to set our affection on things above, not on earthly thingsIf you don't yet know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, Pastor Webster extends a warm and urgent invitation to you today.

How does God help you through difficult days?Sunday, August 2, 2026 - Praising God: a discipleship practicePhilippians 1:3-30

Series: Summer in the Psalms Speaker: Tyler Henry Scripture: Psalm 9 Main Idea: Even in our darkest of days, God's justice leads us to praise.

"How have you been?" — "Tired." It is the kind of answer delivered with a chuckle that quietly covers something much heavier underneath. Over ten years of interrupted sleep, four boys who simply do not sleep well in their early years, the exhaustion of pregnancy layered on top of toddler wakings, and a midnight prayer offered somewhere between one waking and the next: God, I know he is a gift — please help me. It is one of the most honest and most human prayers imaginable. And yet, what follows that midnight prayer is something remarkable: a morning realization that weakness has a way of producing what strength never could. When the flesh is genuinely humbled, dependence on God stops being a spiritual discipline and becomes the only option. Fruit grows in that place. The Spirit moves more freely there. Psalm 30:4-5 does not minimize the night of weeping — it simply refuses to let it be the final word. His favor lasts a lifetime. A shout of joy comes in the morning. For those in a season of great difficulty right now, that promise may feel impossibly far away. But the invitation of this episode is urgent and tender all at once: cry out to the Lord, lean on His grace, trust that He is working in the middle of the trial for your good and for His glory, and lift your gaze long enough to choose worship — not because the pain is gone, but because He is faithful even while it remains. Today's Bible Verse "Weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning."— Psalm 30:5, NASB Ponder Today Suffering has a way of producing what ease never could. When the flesh is genuinely weakened and we are humbled to our knees, dependence on God becomes not a discipline but a necessity — and in that place, fruit grows and the Spirit moves freely. His favor lasts a lifetime — even when the night feels unending. Psalm 30:5 does not promise a short night. It promises that the night is not the final word. Joy is coming in the morning, in His time and according to His purposes. Cry out to God in the middle of the trial, not just before and after it. The midnight prayer offered in exhaustion — God, I know he is a gift, please help me — is exactly the kind of prayer He is near to and ready to meet. The purpose of pain is often to draw us back to our Father. When life becomes too heavy to carry alone, we are reminded of what was always true: He is near, He is worthy of our praise, and He is working all things together for our good (Romans 8:28). Choose worship before the circumstances change. Praising God in the weary season is not denial — it is one of the most powerful acts of faith available to us. He is faithful whether or not our circumstances shift, and our worship declares that truth out loud. A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, I am so weary and weighed down by my current life circumstances. It is difficult for me to see the gift in this trial, but I trust You are using it for my good and for Your glory. Help me to have eyes to see that You are working in my life. My circumstances may not change anytime soon, but please change me in my circumstances to look more like Jesus. Strengthen my faith so that I can lift my voice and praise You, trusting that joy is coming in Your perfect timing. I may be weary, but I choose to worship You because You are forever faithful to me. Help me to look to You and point others to You in this season. You are good. In Jesus' name, Amen.

In Luke 10:16-26, we see the joy of the 72 when they had returned from their multi-city outreach proclaiming the coming kingdom of God in the person of the Messiah, Jesus.Jesus gives us the ground of our joy. It is the joy of being in right relationship with savior, our names are recorded in heaven. Philippians 3:20 says "our citizenship is in heaven from which we also look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ."Next Luke gives us the joy of Jesus. He was exceedingly joyful in the presence of His Father that God reveals spiritual truth to those wo believe. The truth Jesus speaks to us about is the revelation of God about who Jesus is. Do you know Jesus Christ as God has revealed Him in the Word of God? Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Luke 10:16.

Praising God is a major part of following Jesus. Yet we often find it easier to complain about our problems than praise God for his goodness. This week in Psalm 34, we get a crash course from King David, who teaches us how to praise God at all times.Got a question about this teaching or a teaching from this series? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Submit it here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠About Music Track: Track: Inspirational Flight Artist: AShamaluev

Psalm 114 "Praising God for the Exodus"

Sermon: 24小時讚美神,可能嗎? Praising God for 24 Hours, Is It Possible? Series: 信仰旅程的詩 Songs for the Journey Speaker: 張國強牧師 Rev. Jeremiah Cheung Scripture: 詩篇 Psalm 34 Translated to English by Elder Stanley Sy 許多基督徒親近神，往往只在尋求幫助，或在禱告蒙應允時表達感謝。我們是否常因此錯過了單單注視神、因著祂的本性而讚美祂的福份？本主日，張國強牧師將透過詩篇第34篇，勉勵我們在萬事、萬處都尊崇耶和華。一同學習隨時隨地尊崇主，讓讚美神的聲音永不止息。 Many believers commune with God only to seek help or give thanks when prayers are answered. Too many miss out on beholding God and praising Him for all that He is. This Sunday, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung stresses the importance of extolling the Lord at all times and all places. Let us learn to keep His praise continually on our lips.

Join us as Pastor Tyler preaches through Acts 2:47! How and why do we praise God? In Acts 2:47, we see the motivations for praising God as a Spirit-Filled Church.

Paul begins the letter to the Ephesians by praising God for the work of salvation and giving us every spiritual blessing in Christ.

The beauty of praise helps us become more intimate with God. Praise is an instrument to glorify the Father God. Praise rescues us into Himself. Praise helps us to not deny Christ Jesus. Praise God as He is Worthy

In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Kingdom Crossroads, T.S. Wright sits down with worship leader, author, music ministry strategist, and teacher Donna R. Patrick for a deep conversation about praise, worship, pain, perseverance, and spiritual growth.Donna shares her testimony of growing up in a Christian home, her early calling into music ministry, and how God used both joy and tragedy to deepen her relationship with Him. She opens up about enduring profound personal pain, including the loss of her sister, divorce, and the passing of both parents, while learning to continue praising God through every season.The conversation centers around John 4:23–24 and the biblical meaning of worshiping God “in spirit and in truth.” Donna explains why true worship is not about performance, production, or appearances, but about a sincere heart surrendered to God.Donna also discusses her two devotional books:At All Times – inspired by Psalm 34:1, encouraging believers to praise God regardless of circumstances.It's In Your Praise – a devotional and study guide focused on holiness, obedience, power, and expectancy through a lifestyle of praise.Listeners will be encouraged by Donna's wisdom on:Praising God through heartbreak and sufferingWhy feelings should not dictate worshipSpiritual warfare and praise as a weaponThe importance of staying rooted in God's truthEncouragement for believers walking through difficult seasonsDonna's transparency and faith-filled encouragement remind listeners that no matter the pain, God remains faithful and worthy of praise.Key TopicsWorship in Spirit and TruthPraise During Difficult SeasonsFaith Through Grief and LossChristian Devotionals and Spiritual GrowthMusic Ministry and Worship LeadershipEmotional Healing Through FaithBiblical Encouragement and PerseveranceFeatured ScriptureJohn 4:23–24Psalm 34:1Featured BooksAt All TimesIt's In Your PraiseConnect with Donna R.

May. 24, 2026 - Doxology: Praising God for His Power (Ephesians 3:20-21) - Jason Upchurch - cpcspokane.org

“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!” — Revelation 5:13 Maybe you have heard Handel's Messiah, which includes this song and many others that we find in the Bible. Maybe the music of that stirring oratorio is going through your head right now.Praising God through song is not just a nice thing to do now and then. In this text, singing is shown to be one of the most worshipful things a believer can do. All creation is called to sing to the God who is worthy of “praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”In song we can take part in worship with our whole being. If we are conscious of the words we are singing, our mind is deeply involved. If our emotions are affected by the music and the words, it can feel as if every part of our being is engaged.I have been able to sing in a number of choirs. When I am singing a Christian song with a group of good singers, it can feel as if we are praising God in heaven.Not all of us are good singers or even musically inclined. But we don't have to have great voices to sing wholehearted praise to our Creator and Savior. We can sing to and for the one true God who deserves all honor and glory and praise. And as our song reaches the Lord in heaven, it is purified, offering a sweet sound to his ear. “Now blessed be the Lord our God . . . through all eternity; the whole earth let his glory fill: Amen! So let it be.”

Sunday Message 5/24/26

John 15 Steve Kiesel As we look at the bible, we see giants of the faith. All of them got there through small steps of faith. Praising God for who he is and knowing the gravity of love of God that impacts our life. This allows us to leave footprints because we are abiding in Him, and Him in us. 

Praising God for another Birthdayyyy!! Ain't God sooo good?!

"God protects us from death and keeps us steady. Our God, you tested us, just as silver is tested. You trapped us in a net and gave us heavy burdens. You sent war chariots to crush our skulls. We traveled through fire and through floods but you brought us to a land of plenty” (Psalm 66 8-12). This is really a mixed bag here, isn't it? Praising God for God's protection and care; and then acknowledging God's hand in the Psalmist's troubles. God appears to send the writer through fire and rain - and the case can be made that God is the fire and the rain. Is God the curse or the cure? Or both?

1. DescriptionWhat Do You Do When Doubt Is Louder Than Faith?We've all been there — the moment when life doesn't go the way you prayed it would, and your doubts start drowning out your faith. In this message, we explore what it truly means to wrestle with God and still hold on.Drawing from the Old Testament prophet Habakkuk, we uncover a third option beyond either denying your faith or burying your questions: you can doubt and keep seeking God. Habakkuk's name literally means "to wrestle and to embrace" — and that tension is exactly what authentic faith looks like.In this message, you'll discover:Why doubt doesn't make you a bad Christian — it makes you humanHow honest, raw prayer can actually deepen your relationship with GodWhat Habakkuk's journey from wondering → waiting → trusting teaches us about holding on through the hardest seasonsWhy God would rather have you yell at Him than walk away from HimHow wrestling with God changes the way you walk — just ask JacobWhether you're in a hospital room, grieving a loss, questioning why God hasn't answered your prayers, or simply feeling like life's rounds are breaking you down — this message is for you.Doubt isn't the enemy of faith. It's often the pathway to a deeper, more meaningful one.Part of the series: The Benefit of Doubt, based on the book by Craig Groeschel.2.

We can choose to respond to adversity with fear, anxiety, and worry. We can also choose to respond with praise and worship. You might say, “Yes, but Loren, praise doesn't change my circumstances.” It might not, but it certainly will change what is happening inside of you. Main Points:1. As we praise, we confess what we know is true about God. We choose to trust and to believe, rather than to fear and despair. 2. Praise and worship are like nothing else. While God is the object of our praise, He, in turn, fills us with his presence. Praise and worship glorify and honor God, but it also lifts our spirits, give us joy, and remind us that God is present.3. Fight your battles with praise. As you do, the presence of God will encourage and uplift your soul.Today's Scripture Verses:Acts 16:22-24 - “The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten with rods. After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. When he received these orders, he put them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.”Acts 16:25 - “About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.”Romans 12:12 - “Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Psalm 138 Explained: Praising God in Every Season of Life By Dave Jenkins Psalm 138 shows us what faith looks like after it has been tested. After the sorrow and exile of Psalm 137, this psalm lifts our eyes to the steadfast love, faithfulness, and purposes of God. David praises the Lord with his whole heart not because life is easier, but because God is still faithful. In this episode of Walking Through the Psalms, we see that bold praise flows from confidence in God's character, not comfort in our circumstances. This psalm reminds us that God hears His people, strengthens them in trouble, preserves them in the midst of conflict, and fulfills His purpose for their lives. Listen or Watch the Episode Audio: Video: What Does Psalm 138 Teach About Praising God in Every Season? Psalm 138 teaches that all praise flows from confidence in God's character, not comfort in our circumstances. David begins with wholehearted thanksgiving, praising the Lord publicly in a world filled with false worship. He anchors his praise in God's steadfast love, faithfulness, and Word. This psalm moves from personal praise to global vision. Worship is not meant to stay private. It declares the glory of God to the world. Even in the midst of trouble, David declares that the Lord preserves his life and stretches out His hand against his enemies. The psalm concludes with a strong statement of confidence: the Lord will fulfill His purpose for His people. This is not self-confidence, but God-centered confidence rooted in His enduring love. Key Takeaways from Psalm 138 Praise is rooted in God's character, not our circumstances Worship is both personal and a witness to the world God is present and active in the midst of trouble The Lord will fulfill His purpose for His people Confidence in God produces bold, enduring praise How Psalm 138 Points to Christ Psalm 138 ultimately points us to Jesus Christ. Jesus perfectly trusted the Father, walked in the midst of trouble, and fulfilled God's redemptive purposes through His life, death, and resurrection. Because of Christ, believers can rest in the confidence that God is at work and will complete what He has begun. Final Encouragement Dear Christian, Psalm 138 reminds us that faith does not end in sorrow. It grows through it. The same God you trust in hardship is the same God you can praise with confidence today. Lift your voice not because life is easy, but because God is faithful. He is present. He is at work. And He will fulfill His purpose. Subscribe and Follow If this episode encouraged you, consider subscribing to Servants of Grace wherever you listen to podcasts.

Praising God is one of the highest and purest acts of worship. In prayer we act like men; in praise we act like angels. Bible in a Year: Judges 4-6 & Luke 4:31-44- The Pastor and his wife. 

Have you ever thought about why we praise God? Does it have a goal or purpose?

C.S. Lewis offered some helpful thoughts on the nature of our praise to God that I think can help demystify what it means to praise. Let's consider what God requires in our praise and how to praise Him rightly. Westside Unscripted is the pastor's podcast of Westside Baptist Church in Bremerton, WA.

By shifting our focus away from fear and frustration, we break its power. Push back discouragement with faith: God can place a powerful song in your heart through the Holy Spirit. When you face temptation, doubt, depression, or spiritual heaviness, talk intentionally with God. This steadies you and gives you your next step.Psalm 95:1 calls us to praise and connects spiritual practice to real-life challenges believers face.Praising God out loud reorients the mind. Ask God for a personal “new song” in difficult times. A truth sang and repeated day and night, reminding you to trust God even before you see the result.Expect a dramatic victory from God.2 Chronicles 20 shows King Jehoshaphat's crisis: fear meets prayer, a promise, and worship as a weapon. The power of praise drives back heaviness and brings God's peace and victory. If this encouraged you, please subscribe to the channel, share this message with a friend who needs strength, and leave a review below mentioning what “song” you are holding onto right now. Your feedback helps us reach and support more people.Praying for you.  Victory!Tony WilliamsSend Tony a Texthttps://www.seldicompany.com/
