Echoes of Praise

1 Peter 1:17-23

Synopsis: I open my message today with Psalm116:1-4. The bottom line for the reading is “Please, Lord, save me!” and then begins the Echoes of Praise. Praise is what we offer back to God in response to all that the Lord has done for us.

What kind of praise is acceptable to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit? It must be genuine, sincere, heartfelt expressions of gratitude expressed through “word, gift, and deed” individually and collectively. That is why true praise of God is offered through worship, service, gifts and fellowship. That is the only way the church will ever be identified as the body of Christ.

So let the praise begin and let it continue to echo through expressions of your life. That is the criteria by which God will judge the genuineness of your faith.

Text (NLT): Psalm 116:1-4, 12-19; 1 Peter 1:17-23

Scripture Reading: Psalm 116:12-14
