CHAPTER VISUAL

Psalms 95 — The congregation sings to its Creator and Shepherd, then hears the urgent warning not to harden the heart and miss His rest.

About this illustration

Praise and wilderness warning form a deliberate two-part panorama; God’s hand and voice are represented through creation and light.

Scripture basis: Psalms 95:1–11
  1. 1O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
  2. 2Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
  3. 3For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
  4. 4In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
  5. 5The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
  6. 6O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
  7. 7For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
  8. 8Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
  9. 9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
  10. 10Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
  11. 11Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

Church History & Function #12 - The Key of David: Heart of Worship

In “Church History & Function #12 - The Key of David - Heart of Worship,” Pastor Dean Odle presents a Scripture-centered message about worship, David’s example, the condition of the church. Drawing especially from Revelation 3, Deuteronomy 21, Psalm 80, Psalm 90, the teaching emphasizes that true worship centers on God and is expressed through reverence, surrender, and obedience. Odle connects that foundation with the conviction that David’s choices are used to examine leadership, testing, repentance, and renewed dependence on God.
