Handout

Psalm 150:1–6 (ESV)

1 Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! 2 Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! 3 Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! 4 Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! 5 Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals! 6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

The Word Praise Comes from the Hebrew Word Halla (Halla at your boy) funny but true, Halla is to shout in joy and in boast.

Today we are going to celebrate the end of a fast. some of us are celebrating that it is done, but I hope that you celebrate what God has done in the past 21 day fast.

But Celebration should be a regular part of our life. Today we are looking time in our life that we need to learn to Celebrate

We Celebrate another Day of life.

Psalm 118:24 (ESV)

24 This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

We Celebrate in the different things that we do (no matter how mundane)

1 Corinthians 10:31 (ESV)

31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

We Celebrate in our work ( doing the work of God)

Ecclesiastes 3:12–13 (ESV)

12 I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live; 13 also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God’s gift to man.

We Celebrate when the lost find Jesus

Luke 15:1–10 (ESV)

1 Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. 2 And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” 3 So he told them this parable: 4 “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ 7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. 8 “Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’ 10 Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
