In this three-week series, “ALTARS: Release Your Praise”, Pastor Dylan Jahnig explores key ideas around Worship and Praise – and what the Bible teaches us about how we engage this important practice as believers.
Week One: Let Me See Your Hands Go Up!
“It takes strength to fully surrender, and yet in our surrender is super natural strength.”
Scriptures:
Psalm 26; Psalm 9; Genesis 29:35
Points:
TOW DAH – Thanking God for something I don’t have in the natural. Agreeing to what is + what will be.
YA DAH – Throw out your hand like an arrow, Surrender / Revere in worship (deliberate), like a child to parent “I’m yours”.
- Revelation: What is the Holy Spirit saying to you through the text?
- Response: How does this revelation affect the rest of your life – i.e. what is your appropriate response/act of obedience?
- Prayer.
Week Two: Born to Sing
Scriptures:
Psalm 22:3; Deuteronomy 10:21; Psalm 40:1-3; Psalm 66:1-9; Psalm 92:1-3; Psalm 150:1-6
Points:
TEHILAH – A spontaneous new song. Singing from a melody in your heart by adding words to it. This refers to a special kind of singing-it is singing unprepared, unrehearsed songs. Brings tremendous unity to the body of Christ. Singing straight to God. Can move into tehilah anytime It is the praise that God inhabits.
ZAMAR – To sing with instruments. To make music accompanied by the voice. One of the musical verbs for praise in the book of psalms. The word ZAMAR also means to touch the strings, hence to celebrate in song and music.
- Revelation: What is the Holy Spirit saying to you through the text?
- Response: How does this revelation affect the rest of your life – i.e. what is your appropriate response/act of obedience?
- Prayer.
Week Three: Shout Unto God
“Could it be that there is a connection between the extent/fullness of our praise and the boundaries of our inheritance?”
Scriptures:
Exodus 15:17-18; Psalm 47; Psalm 145:3-7
Points:
SHABACH – to shout.
- Revelation: What is the Holy Spirit saying to you through the text?
- Response: How does this revelation affect the rest of your life – i.e. what is your appropriate response/act of obedience?
- Prayer.
