“Praise the Lord” – Logan Brendle – Summer School 2025
Series: [Summer School - Summer 2025
Scripture:
Sermon Title: Praise the Lord
Series: Summer School
Preacher: Logan Brendle
Date: Sunday, June 29, 2025
Scriptures: Psalm 150
Big Idea:
Praise is not just something we do—it’s the posture we live in. Psalm 150 reminds us that praise belongs in every place, through every expression, and from every breath. We don’t praise God because life is easy, but because God is worthy.
Key Points:
1. Praise is a command, not a suggestion.
Psalm 150 begins and ends with the phrase “Praise the Lord,” making it clear that worship is central to the life of faith. We’re not just invited to praise when we feel like it—we’re called to praise because God is always good.
2. Praise happens in every place.
“In the sanctuary… in the mighty heavens.”
Whether we’re in a church pew or under a starry sky, praise belongs wherever we are. Worship isn’t confined to a building—it’s meant to happen throughout all creation.
3. Praise uses everything we’ve got.
Psalm 150 lists a full band of instruments, showing that praise can be loud, joyful, creative, and full-bodied. However you’re wired—musical or not—you were created to reflect praise back to the Creator.
4. Praise begins with breath.
“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”
If you’re breathing, you’re invited. Praise isn’t about performance—it’s about presence. Just showing up with your breath and your heart open is enough.
Reflection & Application:
- What keeps you from praising God during the week?
- Where in your life do you compartmentalize worship rather than living it?
- How can you offer God praise with your breath, your actions, and your presence—regardless of circumstance?
- What’s one way you can make praise part of your rhythm outside of Sunday?
