The sermon 'Make a Joyful Noise' from Harvest Hills Baptist Church centers on Psalm 100, emphasizing that God is worthy of joyful praise because He is our Creator, Redeemer, and eternal God. The message unfolds through a powerful testimonial from missionaries Gage and Aaliyah Gilbert, who share their three-year ministry in Ilulisat, Greenland, where they serve with the Lulisat Baptist Church, lead music, engage in prison ministry, and work on updating the Greenlandic hymnal. They express their hope to plant a church in Nuuk, the capital, and request prayers for government approval and spiritual openness. The sermon then transitions into a deep exegesis of Psalm 100, highlighting five reasons God deserves praise: He is God, our Creator, our Redeemer, a good and merciful God, and unchanging. The application calls believers to respond with a joyful noise, glad service, thankfulness, and humble submission—practicing worship not just in song but in daily life. The service concludes with a love offering for the missionaries and a challenge to prioritize God above all else.
