Phil Kniesel
As we begin a brand-new year, Pastor Phil launches our new series The Main Thing with a powerful reminder about what matters most. Jesus said the greatest priority in life is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and praise plays a much bigger role in that than many of us realize.
In this message, we explore how praise realigns our hearts, guards us against fear, and pulls us back to gratitude. Praise is not just a response to good moments, but a deliberate choice we make even when life feels uncertain. When we praise, we shift our focus from our problems to God’s power and position our hearts around what truly matters.
