PSALM 103: a song of RESPONSE (worship) 1 What is WORSHIP? John 4:23 * worship is spiritual and real (based in reality) * when genuine, emotion is involved but the TRUTH keeps our emotions in check GOD’S GREATNESS SHOULD CAUSE THE RESPONSE OF AUTHENTIC WORSHIP 2 The Goodness of God is GREAT * the Enemy wants us to focus on what is BAD * to remember is an INTENTIONAL act * Look at the PSALM: what does this song tell you about who God is: 3 Our Need is Great WE ARE SINFUL (spiritually) * we must acknowledge our true condition * sinners saved by grace; in need of GRACE WE ARE FRAIL (physically) * know our place / prone to sickness * if we were ABLE on our own, we wouldn’t need the LORD

DISCUSSION: 1 was 2016 a year of spiritual growth? of wasted time? not sure yet? 2 what has the Lord been doing in your life? 3 why do people make resolutions? PART 1: PUMPED PSALM 1: a song to get psyched up 1 FRIENDSHIPS * the people we spend time with have a profound IMPACT on us…sometimes this influence is obvious - sometime it is more DECPTIVE (and dangerous) * some relationships are healthy - some are harmful * making use of clever and indirect methods to achieve something. 2 FOUNDATION * Psalm 1 paints a picture of someone who ENJOYS the things of God and who is ENGAGED and actively involved in their life * ultimately their lives Prosper (they fulfill their purpose and prove themselves to be USEFUL) 3 FOOTSTEPS: * the path we walk down has eternal implications “perish” WHERE ARE YOU HEADING? * do you have some ideas about what the dangerous things are? why mess around with them?
