00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:05.440
<v SPEAKER_00>Hi everyone, it's Nancy with your Wednesday edition of our daily walk.

00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:15.039
<v SPEAKER_00>As we take these five weeks to meet together and look at our church's mission and vision, Pastor Aaron is focusing in our worship time on our core values.

00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:28.480
<v SPEAKER_00>Our elder team sought the Lord's leading together as they crafted our mission and vision workbook that provides a framework through which we can strive to be more like Christ as we walk daily with the Lord.

00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:41.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Those core values glorify God, abide in Christ, connect in community, and multiply disciples, represent a basic truth of what God expects from us as we deepen our faith.

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:45.679
<v SPEAKER_00>The first core value we looked at this past Sunday is to glorify God.

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.880
<v SPEAKER_00>And we looked at how we can do that as we praise Him.

00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:52.399
<v SPEAKER_00>As Pastor Aaron said, we are made for praise.

00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:59.679
<v SPEAKER_00>Think about the impact that has when we begin our day praising God, when we begin our prayer time doing, though.

00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:03.119
<v SPEAKER_00>Jesus modeled that when he taught the disciples how to pray.

00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:14.079
<v SPEAKER_00>He began saying, Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:16.719
<v SPEAKER_00>So let's take time right now to do that.

00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:21.920
<v SPEAKER_00>And the best praise guide for us comes from God Himself in His Word.

00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:26.239
<v SPEAKER_00>There are many passages that speak of the glory of God and our call to praise him.

00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:31.359
<v SPEAKER_00>Today I'll take us to Psalm 96 as we praise him together.

00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:35.680
<v SPEAKER_00>And God's word says, Oh, sing to the Lord a new song.

00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:37.840
<v SPEAKER_00>Sing to the Lord all the earth.

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:42.879
<v SPEAKER_00>Sing to the Lord, bless his name, tell of his salvation from day to day.

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:52.799
<v SPEAKER_00>Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples, for great is the Lord and greatly to be praised.

00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:58.480
<v SPEAKER_00>He is to be feared above all gods, for all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols.

00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:00.480
<v SPEAKER_00>But the Lord made the heavens.

00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.799
<v SPEAKER_00>Splendor and majesty are before him.

00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.599
<v SPEAKER_00>Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:11.439
<v SPEAKER_00>Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:14.960
<v SPEAKER_00>Ascribe to the Lord the glory, do his name.

00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:16.240
<v SPEAKER_00>Bring an offering.

00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:18.080
<v SPEAKER_00>Come into his courts.

00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.439
<v SPEAKER_00>Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.

00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:24.080
<v SPEAKER_00>Tremble before him, all the earth.

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:27.520
<v SPEAKER_00>Say among the nations, the Lord reigns.

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.280
<v SPEAKER_00>Yes, the world is established, it shall never be moved.

00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.560
<v SPEAKER_00>He will judge the peoples with equity.

00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:44.159
<v SPEAKER_00>Let the heavens be glad, let the earth rejoice, let the seas roar and all that fills it, let the field exult and everything in it.

00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:52.319
<v SPEAKER_00>Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth.

00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:58.400
<v SPEAKER_00>He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness.

00:02:58.879 --> 00:02:59.520
<v SPEAKER_00>Amen
