Sermons on Praise and Worship
When the church was born, the mother of Jesus was there. When the disciples partook of communion for the first time, Mary was there. What was she thinking as she ate the bread and drank the cup?
Solomon warned us against talking too much when we enter the Lord’s house (Eccles. 5:1). Sometimes it’s a good thing to just stop and gaze on God in his glory (Ps. 63:2-3).
