FHBC Sermon Notes

Scripture - Psalm 66:1-20

How do we praise God in prayer?

Jim says there is no formula to prayer, no perfect pattern. I would like to note that is not to say that repetition is in itself not correct. In fact I find repetition is an important part of how God transforms my heart. I think the issue is that what God wants is a contrite heart. That is the words of our mouth do not truly reflect our heart, if our hearts are empty, then our words are empty.

The Paalms are a great. The first song from this morning was from Psalm 9. "Oh Lord, oh Lord how majestic is your name in all the earth."

1. We give praise to the Lord on the basis of His attributes. (66:1-4)
. In scripture there is a close relationship between someone's name and their attributes.q
