A Rhema Word: Psalm 100 is a Psalm of the future millennial kingdom it describes what worship will be like in the day when the Lord Jesus Christ reigns in glory and power upon the earth. We are not in that glorious day right now, but we are in the family of God and we are commanded to gather ourselves together and worship Him in His church, Heb. 10:25. With that in mind, let it be said that this Psalm tells us exactly what everyone ought to bring to church when they come.
Are you bringing the right things to church? Has the Lord spoken of areas in your life that need attention? Maybe you are not as filled with His praises as you used to be. For some reason, just going to church is more difficult than it used to be for you and you know you need to deal with them before the Lord. Maybe you have never been saved and you want to get to know this wonderful Lord that the Bible talks about in these verses. I don't know your hearts today, but I know that some of you need to look at what you are bringing to church. Are you bringing the right spirit, the right submission and the right sacrifice?
a. First, there is the word "Make" - This word means to "Make music" It is used to refer to singing and to the Psalms.
b. Then, there is the word "Joyful". This word means "to give a public confession of the attributes and works of God."
c. Thirdly, there is the word "Noise". This word means "to raise a shout." It refers to a "ringing cry" A cry that pierces the eardrum!
II. Bring The Right Submission
a. Submit To The Person Of God - We are told to "know" that the Lord is God. This word means "to make a distinction" We are to know that He and He alone is God!
b. Submit To The Purpose Of God - Next, we are reminded that we are what we are because He has "made" us.
c. Submit To The Promise Of God - We are "the sheep of His pasture".
III. Bring the Right Sacrifice
a. God's House is to be a place of praise unto Him.
b. We are given an invitation to come into His presence.
c. We are told to enter "into His gates".
d. Next, we are invited to enter "into His courts with praise."
Psa. 40:1-3 tells us what the Lord did for us when He saved us. These verses tell us that He put "a new song in my mouth." The right spirit is a spirit of shouting! Remember, genuine praise is always vocal, visible and public! He gets no glory when we hold it in!
How do we bless God?
1. Praise and Worship 2. Give Thanks 3. Bless Others
~Bits and Pieces of Sermon Central Psalm 100
Psalm 118:26-29 (MSG)
Blessed are you who enter in God’s name—
from God’s house we bless you!
God is God,
he has bathed us in light.
Festoon the shrine with garlands,
hang colored banners above the altar!
You’re my God, and I thank you.
O my God, I lift high your praise.
Thank God—he’s so good.
His love never quits!
