THANKFULNESS
Make a joyful noise
to the Lord, all the earth
Serve the Lord with gladness
Come into His presence with singing
Know that the Lord, He is GOD
It is He who made us, and we are His
we are the sheep of His pasture
Enter His gates with thanksgiving
and His courts with praise
Give thanks to Him
and bless His name
For the Lord is good
His steadfast love
endures forever
and His faithfulness
to all generations
THANKFULNESS IS THE
BEGINNING OF PRAISE
GRATITUDE IS
THE DOOR TO WORSHIP

THE WHOLE EARTH

GRATITUDE IS AN ATTITUDE
GRATTITUDE IS ALSO A SIMILITUDE…
a resemblance, a likeness, a model or pattern that represent God’s structure we should
use to build and repair our lives to obtain His likeness and form. (Strong’s Hebrew 8403 and 1129)
BUT GRATTITUDE IS ALSO AN ATTITUDE.. that unlocks the fullness of life.
By being part of the Family of God,
we have a blessed opportunity to share in the lives of each other…
to build up and help repair and strengthen one another.
GRATITUDE IN EXPRESSIONS OF WORSHIP
Worship is a heartfelt desire to know GOD as we offer up to Him love, adoration, and
gratefulness in oneness with His very person.
Worship cannot be separated from our body in how we express exaltations to GOD.
To allow GOD to live through us the highest form on NT worship.
To present our body as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to GOD… is worship.
Old Testament worship differs for New Testament worship in that the sacrifice is different.
No longer animals, Jesus was the one-time, all sufficient sacrifice.
Now we are to be the example of sacrificial worship in the same way
that Jesus became worship to His FATHER.
