The post A Call to Worship (Psalm 95) … appeared first on The Anglican Connection.
In this powerful message, we're reminded of God's constant nearness, even in our loneliest moments. Drawing from Psalms 23 and 34, we explore how God desires an intimate relationship with each of us, offering refuge and comfort in life's darkest valleys. The speaker beautifully parallels a childhood experience of feeling lost in a store with our spiritual journey, emphasizing that God is always closer than we realize. As we navigate an increasingly disconnected world, we're challenged to embrace God's presence and extend His love to others. This message isn't just about personal faith; it's a call to action for the church to be a beacon of hope and connection in a lonely world. We're encouraged to let our light shine, sharing the transformative power of Christ's love with those around us. This overview leaves us pondering: How can we deepen our relationship with God and be instruments of His nearness to others?

Pastor Rodney's message, Lord of My (Our) Worship, emphasized that worship is not just singing but a lifestyle of acknowledging, focusing on, loving, and adoring God's presence. Drawing from Psalm 114, he showed that God's presence delivers us from bondage, moves obstacles, provides for our needs, and demands reverence. Ultimately, true worship transforms us to look, sound, and act more like Jesus, leading us into freedom and deeper relationship with Him. Listen and be challenged.Support the show

As we continue our sermon series For Every Season, we hear from fellow church member, Dr. Matt Kim, a Professor of Preaching and Pastoral Leadership at Truett Seminary. In Psalm 95, we see a calling on our lives to worship and the how, why, and a warning.PSALM 95:1-111. THE HOW OF WORSHIP: We worship the Lord by coming to Him, by singing, by making a joyful noise, and by coming into His presence with thanksgiving (vs. 1-2).There is nothing complicated about the verb ‘come,' except to say that worship is all encompassing. Worship is personal and participatory at its core, never passive. - Doug Webster,The Psalms: So we have a parallelism here. Look with me to 1B and 2B.1B begins “Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.”2B says “Let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise.” We come so often to God, if we come at all, as beggars. We ask and beg: give me; bless me; help me; guide me; grant me. And that's one necessary level of our existence. But in thanksgiving and adoration we come to God not to ask but to give! We come not whimpering but shouting praise; not in guilt but in gratitude. We feel not distant from God but close to God. We are like a traveler who is home again at last, the prodigal at a banquet. Those moments may be seldom, but when they happen we know that we were created for God. - Don Postema, Space for God 2. The Why of Worship We worship the Lord because He is a great God and there is no other! (vs. 3-7)There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign overall, does not cry, Mine! - Abraham Kuyper,. He [Satan] is a creature striving to be superior to the Creator. . . . Elevation of the Son is a problem for Satan, but bending the knee before God is what he disdains most. . . . Like any creature, Satan owes more to God than gratitude, though grateful recognition of the gift received is all God requires. In failing to give thanks, Satan is injuring God's merit; he is refusing to give God even a fraction of what is due to God. . . . The unquenchable desire to be superior to God holds Satan captive. - Miroslav Volf The Cost of Ambition, 3. The Warning of Worship In every season, worship the worthy Lord, before your heart grows hard, and your praise turns cold (v. 8-11).And I'll praise you in this storm, And I will lift my hands, For you are who you areNo matter where I am, And every tear I've cried, You hold in your hand, You never left my side, And though my heart is torn, I will praise you in this storm. - Praise You in This Storm, Casting Crowns
Transformative Truth: It is a great privilege to praise God with his people. You have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to countless thousands of angels in a joyful gathering. You have come to the assembly of God's firstborn children, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God himself, who is the judge over all things. You have come to the spirits of the righteous ones in heaven who have now been made perfect. You have come to Jesus, the one who mediates the new covenant between God and people, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks of forgiveness instead of crying out for vengeance like the blood of Abel. - Hebrews 12:22-24 Yet she on earth hath union with God the Three in One, and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee. Their Delight in Jerusalem Psalm 122:1-2 Their Description of Jerusalem Psalm 122:3-5 Jerusalem, built as a city should be, solidly united, where the tribes, the LORD's tribes, go up to give thanks to the name of the LORD. - Psalm 122:3 Christian Standard Bible Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you? - 1 Corinthians 3:16 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit. - Ephesians 2:21-22 NIV Their Dedication to Jerusalem Psalm 122:6-9 "How lovely is the sanctuary in the eyes of those who are truly sanctified!" It is a great privilege to praise God with his people.
Psalm 117 (1) The Summon to worship (2) The Reasons for worship (3) The Mission of worship
In this message, we finish our short series on The Heart of Worship, diving into Psalm 95 to explore what it truly means to live a life of worship. More than music or moments, worship is a lifestyle—one rooted in humility, reverence, obedience, and gratitude.Psalm 95 presents both a joyful invitation and a serious warning. We are called to worship with joy and thanksgiving, remembering the greatness of our God who made us and sustains us. But we are also urged not to harden our hearts—true worship requires soft, responsive hearts before the Lord.This sermon unpacks three key responses from Psalm 95:• Joyful praise — Worship that responds to who God is and what He has done.• Reverence — An awe-filled recognition of God's greatness and creative power.• Obedience — A heart posture of humility, repentance, and submission to God's voice.Whether you're in a season of joy or struggle, this message reminds us that God gives us the grace to worship through it all. Worship is not about perfection—it's about posture.

Bill Latham speaks from Psalm 123 on pointing our gaze to Christ and finding rest for the weary.
A Study of Psalm 6 which is one of the Penitential Psalms of brokenness over personal sin.
”Sing aloud to God our strength; shout for joy to the God of Jacob! Raise a song; sound the tambourine, the sweet lyre with the harp. Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast day. For it is a statute for Israel, a rule of the God of Jacob.” Psalm 81:1-4
Big Idea: Endure…the King's Home awaits you. Problem: We lose hope and give up…that's when we most fail ourselves and those we love. Solution: Look for the pin pricks of hope…the resurrection light in the darkness of despair. Vision: To awaken enduring hope by helping people see their true future — the King's Home — so vividly that it strengthens them to endure suffering, love boldly, and live with holy grit until all things are made new. Call to Worship: Psalm 96:2–3 (ESV) “Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!”

Psalm 96:1-6 New King James Version 96 Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! Sing to the Lord, all the earth. 2 Sing to the Lord, bless His name; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. 3 Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. 4 For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. 5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the Lord made the heavens. 6 Honor and majesty are before Him; Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
John 4:21-24 New King James Version 21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Tyler and Andy explore Psalm 29. They discuss our need to worship the God of the storm, who is also the God over the storm. God is powerful and gives strength and peace to His people.
Again, the psalm that we're going to be studying, Psalm 149 is a psalm about worship. Fact, many of the last few Psalms dealt just with that subject, worshiping God, praising God and giving thanks to God. And let me simply say that when we look at the word of God, whether it's in the Old Covenant or New Covenant, whether it's the law of Moses, whether it's prophecy, whether it's an epistle or a gospel, we need to honor the Word of God by translating it properly and not taking liberties with the text that we ought not because the word of God is inspired by the Holy Spirit, and it's only when we receive the Word of God as the Spirit inspired the Word of God to be then we can see God's order coming into our life, that we can understand His truth and we can respond to it.

General Theme for the Week: Our Great Big God Today's Lesson: A Great God is Worthy of Great Service On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell and Jay Rivenbark discuss the following questions: Why is it a distortion to think about worship in terms of how it makes us feel? What other actions of worship can be done outside of worship services? Do you normally think of these actions as “worship"? Do you think there is a great contrast between our actions during our worship services and those outside of our worship services? The reading for the day is Psalm 100.
