Part 4: Praise You in the Storm
When David was under pressure, he wrote a song about dwelling in the house of the Lord. His praises gave Him courage. Even most Christians underestimate the power of corporate worship, seeing it as a good thing, but optional. But it’s only those who “offer sacrifices with shouts of joy” who can say, “whom shall I fear?”
The Sermon on the Mount is often acclaimed (even by non-Christians) as the greatest moral teaching ever presented. It dares us to dream of the world-changing things that could happen if we began to walk like Him.
If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
