Sermon/Lesson Title

“Joy to the World” is one of the most beloved hymns, yet Isaac Watts never intended it as a Christmas carol. Rooted in Psalm 98, it proclaims Christ’s reign and God’s salvation. Its message calls every heart to prepare room for the King and rejoice in His coming.

Psalm 33 is a beautiful reminder of the importance of praising Jehovah. The psalmist gives four clear reasons why God deserves our worship. Unlike many psalms, this one has no superscription—we don’t know who wrote it or the circumstances behind it. But what we do know is enough: it is entirely focused on why we must rejoice in the Lord and lift up His name. It begins with a call to worship, then unfolds into four powerful reasons why God deserves our praise. Each reason is a sermon in itself, showing us who God is, what He has done, and why our response must be worship.

Psalm 150
Hallelujah: Let Everything That Has Breath Praise the Lord

Psalm 150 concludes the Psalter with a six-verse call to praise that answers where, why, how, and who. It is not a slogan to repeat; it is a life to live. The psalmist begins and ends with “Praise the Lord”—“Hallelujah”—signaling that the fitting response of God’s people to His works and His character is wholehearted, continual worship. This psalm also corrects common confusions: praise is not driven by moods, novelties, or spectatorship; it is the deliberate, God-centered engagement of the assembled church and the daily rhythm of the individual saint.
