"Bringing Christ to the Nations" (Psalm 96)



In the early church, the believers worshiped, they modeled their lives after Christ, they loved and served one another, and the logical outcome of all this was that “the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved” (Acts 2:47). Bringing Christ to people was not so much a program that they “performed,” but a passion that compelled them.
 
This passion for the Lord and sharing Him lies at the heart of Psalm 96. We “Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples(Ps. 96:3). This Sunday, November 22th at Carrollwood Baptist Church at 10:30 a.m., we will discover the essential aspects about the hopeful message of Christ that we have the privilege to bring to our family, friends, and to “all peoples.” You can see the entire text of Psalm 96 below.  

If you live in the bay area and don’t have a church home, we invite you to join us. We are conveniently located at 5395 Ehrlich Road one mile east of the Veterans Expressway. Look forward to seeing you Sunday at CBC for a life-changing encounter with the living Lord!

“For His Glory, By His Grace!”


Pastor Joe


 
Psalm 96, NIV
Sing to the Lord a new song;
    sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, praise his name;
    proclaim his salvation day after day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
    his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
    he is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the nations are idols,
    but the Lord made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are before him;
    strength and glory are in his sanctuary.
Ascribe to the Lord, all you families of nations,
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    bring an offering and come into his courts.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of his
holiness;
    tremble before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.”
    The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved;
    he will judge the peoples with equity.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
    let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
12 Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
    let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.
13 Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes,
    he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
    and the peoples in his faithfulness.
