WEEKLY WORSHIP GUIDE

In Psalm 89, Ethan praises the LORD for His eternal steadfast love and faithfulness.
 
This psalm is a commentary on 2 Samuel 7 where the LORD promises to establish David’s house, throne and kingdom forever. The psalmist uses this covenant promise made to David as evidence of the LORD's eternal steadfast love and faithfulness to His chosen people.
 
Over the next three weeks will study this Psalm; Psalm 89:1-18, 19-37 and 38-52.  This week we examine the incomparable LORD who is worthy of our worship.  Next week Ethan describes the depth of the LORD’s covenant promise to provide David a son whose throne will endure forever.  In the last section, the psalmist cries out to the LORD because in the current circumstances he is struggling to see the LORD’s promise being fulfilled.

O Praise The Name

Father, as American believers in Jesus, we are reminded that on this day in 1776, our independent nation was officially born. You have created all the people here and you have established our nation just like you have all nations on the earth. You are sovereignly governing our people and our land.  And we thank you. We thank you for our country and the many blessings that you have bestowed upon us. We know that you have placed us here in these United States of America to be your witnesses, bearing testimony to your greatness, your love, your faithfulness, and most of all to the gospel of your salvation from sin and death that you purchased for us at the cross and the resurrection.  Praise your name Oh Lord. You've given us a home here in America. You've given us a church home here. Please bless our church with spiritual power and courage to spread the gospel throughout our city, state and nation. And then from there to the nations of the world. Father, you have heard the church pray for revival and spiritual awakening for this nation over the years. Answer our prayers again. May hundreds of thousands be saved across America this year. May thousands of new churches be planted to disciple new believers in every town and city. Thanks Lord…we love you…but most of all thanks for loving us…in Jesus Name Amen…
