Why We Praise
• Steve Miller • Series: Summer in the Psalms: There's a Psalm for That!
Life is chaotic—we feel it in the headlines, the bills, the relationships. But Psalm 149 reminds us: we were made for praise. Not just the churchy kind, but the kind that flows from real joy, even in hard times. Pastor Steve shows how we naturally praise what we love—sports, kids, fireworks—and God invites us to direct that same joy toward Him. Why? Because He delights in us. Not when we’re perfect—but now, as we are. Praise isn’t fake, it’s faith in action. When we get this, it transforms our Mondays, our marriages, and our mindset. Praise leads to purpose. Always.
