In this sermon from Jonestown Bible Church, the pastor leads a deep study of Psalm 138, focusing on David's wholehearted praise to God. The message emphasizes that true worship is not merely ritualistic but involves the fullness of one's being—heart, mind, and soul—offered to God in gratitude for His attributes, answered prayers, and miraculous works. Drawing from Colossians 3, the sermon highlights that serving God 'with all your heart' means doing everything as unto the Lord, not for human approval. The life of Caleb in Joshua 14 is presented as a powerful example of unwavering faith and wholehearted devotion, even at age 85. The pastor illustrates how God uses faithful lives to draw the attention of the world, citing historical figures like Solomon, Nebuchadnezzar, and Darius, who were moved to praise the God of Israel after witnessing His power. The sermon concludes with a call to live in continual praise—both for what God has done and for what He will do—trusting in His promise to 'perfect that which concerns' us, while humbly asking, 'Do not forsake the work of Your hands.'
Praise must be wholehearted—offered with your entire being, not just your lips.
