The Power of a Grateful Heart - Pastor Patrick Hines Sermon

The Power of a Grateful Heart - Pastor Patrick Hines Sermon<br />
<br />
Psalm 103<br />
New American Standard Bible<br />
A Psalm of David.<br />
1 Bless the Lord, my soul,<br />
And all that is within me, bless His holy name.<br />
2 Bless the Lord, my soul,<br />
And do not forget any of His benefits;<br />
3 Who pardons all your guilt,<br />
Who heals all your diseases;<br />
4 Who redeems your life from the pit,<br />
Who crowns you with favor and compassion;<br />
5 Who satisfies your years with good things,<br />
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.<br />
<br />
6 The Lord performs righteous deeds<br />
And judgments for all who are oppressed.<br />
7 He made known His ways to Moses,<br />
His deeds to the sons of Israel.<br />
8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,<br />
Slow to anger and abounding in mercy.<br />
9 He will not always contend with us,<br />
Nor will He keep His anger forever.<br />
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins,<br />
Nor rewarded us according to our guilty deeds.<br />
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,<br />
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him.<br />
12 As far as the east is from the west,<br />
So far has He removed our wrongdoings from us.<br />
13 Just as a father has compassion on his children,<br />
So the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.<br />
14 For He Himself knows our form;<br />
He is mindful that we are nothing but dust.<br />
<br />
15 As for man, his days are like grass;<br />
Like a flower of the field, so he flourishes.<br />
16 When the wind has passed over it, it is no more,<br />
And its place no longer knows about it.<br />
17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting for those who fear Him,<br />
And His justice to the children’s children,<br />
18 To those who keep His covenant<br />
And remember His precepts, so as to do them.<br />
<br />
19 The Lord has established His throne in the heavens,<br />
And His sovereignty rules over all.<br />
20 Bless the Lord, you His angels,<br />
Mighty in strength, who perform His word,<br />
Obeying the voice of His word!<br />
21 Bless the Lord, all you His angels,<br />
You who serve Him, doing His will.<br />
22 Bless the Lord, all you works of His,<br />
In all places of His dominion;<br />
Bless the Lord, my soul!<br />

From the church website:<br />
<br />
We subscribe to the Westminster Standards as our doctrinal statement. It consists of the following documents:<br />
<br />
The Westminster Confession of Faith<br />
The Westminster Larger Catechism<br />
The Westminster Shorter Catechism<br />
<br />
We also believe that Christian Worship is to be regulated and defined by God's Word, the Bible.<br />
<br />
Our worship services are designed to please and honor the Triune God of the Bible. We place Scripture reading and the preaching of the word of God at the center of worship along with Baptism and the Lord's Supper. These are God's gifts to His church and ought to always be at the center of Christian worship. We are a congregation that loves to sing God's praises, recite His Word back to Him, and actively engage in hearing and learning from God's Word.<br />
<br />
We embrace and promote a comprehensive Christian world and life view.<br />
<br />
There is no area of life which is not under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. It is to God and His law which all people, including governments and civil rulers, will answer. The Word of God embraces and informs the way we view marriage, the family, children, education, politics, worship, law, government, war, the church, missions, evangelism, and worship. In the world today there is a battle of opposing worldviews. There are basically only two positions: God's Word and man's ideas. We stand positively for Biblical truth and negatively against man's ideas which are opposed to Biblical truth.<br />
<br />
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only hope for mankind.<br />
<br />
Because all men fall short of obeying God's law, all men everywhere are in need of divine grace and salvation from God. This salvation is found only in the Lord Jesus Christ who died for sinners, was buried, rose again, and is alive today seated at God the Father's right hand.<br />
<br />
We Worship God Together as Families.<br />
<br />
We offer nursery during the morning worship service for newborns and infants but encourage people to keep as many of their children as they can with them for morning worship. <br />
