New Song Choir
Christ the King Sunday
Sing a new song to the Lord!
Let the whole earth sing to the Lord! ~ Psalm 96:1 (NLT)
After the vision of these things I looked, and there was a great number of people, so many that no one could count them. They were from every nation, tribe, people, and language of the earth. They were all standing before the throne and before the Lamb, wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands. They were shouting in a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” ~ Revelation 7:9-10 (NCV)
KEY IDEA:
Let the whole earth join the praise choir.
PRAYER :
Lord, I don't sing so well. And I'm not just talking about music. But I want to be a part of the great praise choir formed from all the people and places in the world. Help me to grow in respect of them so I can sing alongside them. This is going to be awesome. Praise Jesus! Amen!
