In this sermon on Psalm 95, we hear that God’s people are called to gather regularly in corporate worship to sing joyfully, worship humbly, and listen attentively so that they might trust and obey Him faithfully. Failure to do so had tragic consequences.

In this sermon, we see that true praise flows from remembering God’s benefits, resting in His compassion, and rejoicing in His everlasting love revealed in Christ.

Pslam 33 teaches us that God is worthy of our praise, and it is fitting for those who are recipients of His goodness and observers of His greatness to express praise and thanks to Him joyfully and reverently.

God has given us what we need to be content in every season and circumstance, but this must be learned. This is the main idea shared in this sermon and the higlhights on contentment are:

Contentment is Based On God’s Providence, Not Circumstances. -Phil. 4:10-12

Contentment comes from God’s Presence & Power. Phil. 4:13

Contentment is found in trusting God’s Promised Provision. Phil. 4:18-19

Contentment is Experienced Through Prayer & God’s Peace. Phil. 4:6-7

Application exhortations for this sermon are:

Enjoy the presence of God and find strength from him through prayer, thanksgiving, and praise. -Phil. 4:6

Ponder the reality that God is enough for you and has provided what you need and promises to continue to do so.

Resolve to find contentment in Christ so that you can be freed up to live on mission and be joyfully generous.

Joy and peace are vital elements given to the Christian that must also be fought for and through prayer and biblical meditation.

In this sermon we see that Christians are called to stand firm in the Lord, anchored in hope, confident in God’s sovereign power, knowing their identity and united for the sake of the gospel.
