Join Pastor Allen Bonnell for the powerful conclusion of our "40 Days of Ancient Ways" series. In this message, we explore the spiritual discipline of worship—not as a mere Sunday morning activity, but as a total life response to the revelation of who God is.
Drawing from the heart of King David in Psalm 103, we learn what it means to truly bless the Lord:
- Remember His Benefits: We often forget the "fringe benefits" of the Gospel. Pastor Allen breaks down how God forgives our iniquity, heals our spiritual diseases, and crowns us with a steadfast love that never runs out.
- The Expanse of Mercy: Explore the infinite nature of God's forgiveness. Using the geography of the heavens and the globe, we see how God separates us from our sins "as far as the east is from the west"—an ever-expanding distance that removes our guilt and shame.
- A Covenant-Keeping God: Discover the deep meaning of Hesed (God's steadfast love) and Yahweh (His covenant name). We are reminded that our security is not based on our performance, but on the strength of the Father who holds us secure when the waves of life crash.
- Holy, Holy, Holy: Why do the angels cry out "Holy" rather than "Sovereign" or "Love"? We examine how God's holiness colors every other attribute, ensuring that He is not just powerful, but perfectly good, and not just loving, but perfectly just.
The message concludes with a challenge to awake your soul and sing. Whether you need to confess, surrender, or simply rest in His mercy, this is an invitation to be reconciled to a holy God through the atoning work of Jesus Christ.
