Pastor-Theologian John Piper wrote, "Missions exists because worship doesn't" in his book Let the Nations Be Glad. This text teaches us that all the earth should bring praise to God, and those who believe should declare God's glory to those who do not. Psalm 96 calls all creation to ascribe glory to God—not just Israel, but every nation, tribe, and people group. In this sermon, we explore how worship fuels missions, and why proclaiming God’s glory is a calling for every believer. Learn how Psalm 96 points to Christ as Creator, King, and Judge—and how we are called to respond by declaring His greatness in our homes, churches, and to the ends of the earth.
From David’s celebration at the return of the Ark to Christ’s commission in Matthew 28, this message calls us to joyful, public, gospel-centered worship that spills over into evangelism and missions.
