Wonderful Worshipers ~ Chapter 10 Part 2

Strike up the band, start the parade 

Let’s all give a shout for the day we were saved!

Wonderful Worshipers

Candy:  Chocolate Covered Raisins
California Raisins are the best
You may even find a toy California raisins dancing or singing, 
They will be your worshipers. 
To help remind you to Praise at all times.

1-Box of plain raisins, they will be your non-worshipers.




Scriptures:   
There are many scriptures these are just a few, below are many more.

Exodus 15:2 
The Lord is my strength and my song, 
And He has become my salvation; He is my God, 
and I will praise Him; 
My father’s God, and I will exalt Him.
Psalm 28:7 
The Lord is my strength and my shield; 
My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; 
therefore my heart greatly rejoices, 
And with my song I will praise Him.
Psalm 50:23 
Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; 
and to him who orders his conduct aright, 
I will show the salvation of God.”
Psalm 69:30 
I will praise the name of God with a song,
 and will magnify Him with thanksgiving.

With football season underway 
Lots of people are shouting for their favorite team. 
Who is your favorite team?
 In football there is an offense and a defense; two sides to every team.
 In the bible, there are two sides
God’s Team the good side and then there is the evil side.  

Psalm 5:11 But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; 
Let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; 
Let those also who love your name be joyful in You. 

In football we have bands playing
cheerleaders are cheering and they even have a Home Coming Parade.  
 In the bible we have angel’s singing, people praying 
and the Holy Spirit to guide our way.
  
Psalm 47:1  
To the chief Musicians. 
A Psalm of the sons of Korah Oh clap your hands, 
all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph!  

Most schools have a Home Coming game, 
Followed by a Home Coming dance 
Where they appoint a King and Queen.   

Psalm 100:4  
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, 
And into His courts with praise. 
 Be thankful to Him and bless His name.
 In the bible we learn about the promised coming King, 
We see His arrival, His departure, and His soon promised return. 

Psalm 149:3 
Let them praise His name with the dance; 
Let them sing praises to Him with the trimbrel and harp.   
Psalms 98:6 
With Trumpets and the sound of a horn; 
shout joyfully before the Lord, the King.   
Psalm 24:8 
 Who is this King of glory?  The Lord strong and mighty in battle, 
Lift us your heads, O you gates! Lift up, your everlasting doors! 
And the King of glory shall come in.   
Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah! 

What is all the excitement about?   
Who can score the most points? 
In football you have a quarter back
He is the star player “Most of the time” 
In the bible we have the Son of God
Who is the savior “All of the time”   

John 3:16   
For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, 
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  

 This is My King! Strike up the band, 
Start the parade 
Let’s all give a shout for the day we were saved!  
What’s that, many people would say
Many people will shout for a football team
But think it silly to shout for God.   
Hundreds of people show up for a game on a Sunday Morning; 
But how many 
Will take their families to Church on a Sunday Morning?  

 Psalm 107:32  
Let them exalt Him also in the assembly of the people,
 And praise Him in the company of the elders.

 In the bible 
God speaks of the multitudes that will praise Him.   
Jesus had multitudes come and listen to Him. 
   
Psalm 109:30  
I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth; 
Yes, I will praise Him among the multitude.  

In football when our team is winning we shout, 
We sing, we cheer the team to victory.  
 God wants us to Praise Him
The scriptures tell us over and over again.   
 Praise the Lord! Praise the name of the Lord
Praise Him, O you servants of the Lord!  In the bible, 
God tells us He will give us the victory, we sing, 
We shout for the victory belongs to the Lord.  

 I Corinthians 15:57 
 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Again thinking about football season 
I came up with my own commercial. 
This is where your California Raisin comes in. 
Picture this: the raisin, just an ordinary raisin,
 Not any different than all the rest. 
 
But then now
How about the California Raisins
Chocolate covered, singing and dancing.
 What do you think made these raisins
 Praising Raisins
 Maybe they put on their garments of Praise! 
Yes! ... How about a Smile! .. JoY
God wants us to be Wonderful Worshipers Too!

 If you are a teacher or parent
Teach your children, 
Teach them about the importance of praise.   
Teach them how to Shout, tell them what it is all about.  
 Jesus should be their King. 
 If we can shout for a football team
then surely we can shout and sing
 for the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings.  
 Encourage them not to be a dried up raisin
but a chocolate covered raisin
covered in Praise
 Lifting up their voices to Jesus their King. 
 Shout for the Victory belongs to the Lord. 
 Would you like to share in this Victory?   
The Victory that has overcome the world, 
Jesus is that Victory! 
 Would you like for Jesus to be your King?   
Do you need to shout and sing? 
Then go ahead; what are you waiting for?
Lift up your Hands
Surrender to the Soon Coming King

Let’s Pray:

Father God, forgive me for any wrong doings called sin.  Help me turn from evil and do those things that are right.  Help me to know Jesus the Son of God, as my Lord and King.  Help me to shout and sing with the Victory over life’s problems. Jesus to come into my heart, today!  Thank you Lord; for becoming my King and for giving me the Victory over sin and death.

Go Ahead! .. Give God A Shout!
Hallelujah
That is What Worship is All About
