Revive: V - Voice Of Praise

He says, that's a given. We're gonna tell people about this. We're gonna tell the next generation about the greatness of god. Here's the thing, Christianity is always just one generation away from extinction. Think about that. It's always just one generation away from extinction. If one generation fails to pass it on to the next, it will stop there. [00:48:57] (23 seconds)  #PassTheFaith

So please, as a follower of god of Christ, don't ever ask god to give you what you deserve. Ask god to give you what his grace would allow you to have. It's only by his compassionate grace that any of us can be saved from our sins, could be welcomed into his presence while we are walking on this earth, and could eternally dwell with him in heaven. It's only by the compassionate grace of god that any of us could be part of that. [00:52:08] (28 seconds)  #AskForGrace

God's kingdom is a kingdom that cannot be shaken. There's nothing this world can do in opposition to his kingdom that can ever overthrow or thwart the work of or the goals of this kingdom of god. He is the ruler of an eternal kingdom. In fact, it's the only eternal kingdom you can belong to. There is no other kingdom on earth that's gonna last forever.

But what if we shifted that? And we just started every day with praise. Oftentimes when we're greeting out in the lobby there on Sunday mornings, I'll say, well, how was your week? And I they'll tell me, oh, it's been good or not so good. And then on the way out, and I'll say, I I pray you have a great week this week and some of you have caught on to this. Here's what you'll say. I choose that. You see, you choose how you're gonna start your day. [00:43:46] (28 seconds)  #StartWithPraise

It could be something as simple as a flat tire. It could be something that there's an emergency at work. There's there's all kinds of things that can happen where you, no matter what, you can't be there when you said you were gonna be there but you know what? We have a father who's not limited by any of those things. There is there is nothing that can keep him from fulfilling every promise that he's made to every one of his children.

What are some good things he's done for you and your family that you can share with the generation coming behind you that you have influence? And it doesn't even have to be your own kids. It can be the younger people at work that you're working around. They may not have been raised with any of that. They don't know the stories. They don't know the examples of what god has done. But we can be that witness for him. [00:47:35] (23 seconds)  #BeAWitness

And one of the best things we can do to make life better for us, for our family, for our coworkers, is to get our attitude right first. And one of the best things we could do to get our attitude adjusted where it needs to be is start the day with praise. Now, I know a lot of you start the day with maybe a prayer time and devotion time. That's great. But sometimes we say we're doing that and we are doing it, but what we're doing is we're immediately going to god with our complaints and our concerns. That's how we're starting today. Oh god. I'm just so worried about this, and I got this going on today, and I I don't like having to do this. And, you know, I don't like my job. You know, we start out with that.

They need to be hearing about the greatness of god at home. The wonderful works of god. They should be hearing about the amazing things that god has done. Now now there's a lot of that in scripture. Right? We could go to the old testament. We see the great miracles and wonders and signs that carried over into the new testament. We could pick out example after example after example, but but here's what I want you to start thinking about doing. Talking about it on a more personal level. How has god worked in your life?
