We celebrate the 100th episode of our CenterPoint Podcast! Some milestones in history can be a little concerning, like Y2K, or even when the date turned from 999 to the year 1000!  As we turn to our 100th episode, it is a total celebration.

Thinking about the number 100, the guys turn to a great chapter in Scripture, Psalm 100.  Check out the passage and some thoughts the guys have concerning the great song.

Psalm 100

1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!  2 Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!  3 Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.  4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!  5 For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.

Special note: In the time this passage was written, people would travel multiple times a year to Jerusalem.  God’s chosen people would all know the songs and join in singing to the Lord!

I. We all Celebrate!  (Verses 1-2)

a. It is a command to… Make a joyful noise!

i. Whether you have a good voice or not, God wants us to sing to Him.

b. It is a command to… Serve the Lord

i. Whether you think you are gifted or not, God wants us to serve Him.

c. It is a command to… Come into his presence

i. Whether you know it or not, God wants you to be with Him.

II. We are His Creation (Verse 3)

a. Know God

i. Not blind following, but a call to know Him deeper & grow closer to Him.

b. God made us!

i. God know us.  He takes ownership of us like a parent to a child.

ii. God loves us!  His care is ONLY for our good!

Do you know that God cares for you?  Read what He says in His words….

John 3:16

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
