Praying Psalm 96

Sing a New Song

“Oh sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth! Sing to the Lord, bless His name; tell of His salvation from day to day” (Psalm 96:1-2)

-God to bless this morning’s time of worship with His presence
-Those reluctant to worship expressively would be freed to celebrate God
-Anthem of salvation (v. 2) & exploring the “glories of Calvary” through song
-God to give us a “new song” – a fresh understanding, experience, & appreciation of who He is & what He has done
-Our corporate worship to display the greatness of God & the magnitude of grace

Declare His Glory Among the Nations

“Declare His glory among the nations; His marvelous works among all the peoples! For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods” (Psalm 96:3-4)

-God to use us in spreading a passion for His name to the remotest parts of the earth
-God to bless Sovereign Grace’s efforts to extend the church to the most unreached people
…1,569 unreached people groups in the world
…6,747 least reached groups (fewer than 2% evangelical)
-The Lord “to be feared above all gods” (v. 4) in nations presently trapped in idolatry
-Young & old in our church to sense a burden for local & global missions
-All in our church to experience the joy of declaring God’s glory among the nations
