King Jesus will be Praised-God is Good and Faithful

Main Point:  In 2026 King Jesus will be praised because God is good and faithful.  Our Praise will look like Prayer, Worship and Giving in 2026; knowing that King Jesus will transform lives as we praise King Jesus in Spirit and in Truth.

Pastor’s Thoughts:

• What does giving someone praise look like?
  • a combination of specific verbal feedback, (words)
  • positive body language, (attitude)
  • and actions that acknowledge someone's good behavior or character (actions)
• What does giving God praise look like for HCC in 2026?
  • Prayer (words)
  • Worship (attitude of the heart, true praise)
  • Giving (action to give outside of our personal selfish interest)

Note:  Next week I will be announcing some changes we will be making at HCC to demonstrate a commitment to prayer, worship, and giving.  You don’t want to miss next week.

Foundation Scripture:  2 Chronicles 16:9. God is looking throughout the whole earth to find people whose hearts are perfect toward God.

There are 2 ways to react to the goodness and faithfulness of God

•  Ignore his goodness and continue doing your own thing.
  • Psalm 106:7-15.  Israel chose disobedience instead of continuing to praise God for his goodness and faithfulness.
• Respond to God’s goodness and faithfulness with actions showing gratitude and thankfulness.  Actions like prayer, worship, and giving.
  • James 2:17. Faith without works is dead.
  • Colossians 3;17.  Let all you do in words or deeds be done in the name of Jesus, always giving thanks to God.
