Shout and Serve, Come and Know 叫んで仕えて、来て主を知ろう
Psalm 100:1-3 (モア訳 Moore Translation)
YHWH(主)に叫べ！
全地よ 喜んで
YHWH(主)に仕え！
歌って御顔＊に来よう ... ＊御顔＝主の臨在、主の御前
YHWH(主)を知れ！
主は創造の神 主は私達を形作った
私達は違う！
私達は主のもの、主の民、主の牧場の群れ
Shout to YHWH (the Lord)!
All the earth; With joy
Serve YHWH (the Lord)!
Come to his face* with singing ... *his face=the presence of the Lord
Know YHWH (the Lord)!
He's creator God; he crafted us
Not us!
We are his, his people, flock in his field
1. Make some noise! 音量を上げよう！
Qualification: often it is our actions that speak louder than our words.
There's many kinds of people. I'm pretty reserved in person. Get me in the pulpit and I come alive.
Kinds of noise...
Shout of triumph
Shout of praise
Trumpet for battle
Wailing and mourning
Laughing
Cheering
Word of comfort
Word of knowledge
Word of wisdom
Greetings of peace and prosperity
Don't be silent:
Let the word burn, don't let the rocks cry out.
Someone is waiting to hear your message. How will they know unless you tell them. (Confession of love?)
Let your life be louder than your words
2. Serve the Lord with Joy 喜んで主に仕えよう
Different ways to serve God
One body with gifts being used to build each other up

Joy is itself service to God ...
Joy is my service.
Joy is a discipline. (a sacrifice of praise)
Service without joy is not unto God!
The opposite of joy isn't sadness... it's discontent.
(Okayama pokemon GO) ...
Service also refers to worship
Our greatest purpose in life is to give God glory... you will find the most fulfillment and joy in life when you know what you are doing is service to God.
3. Come before the Lord singing 主の御前に歌って行こう
When there's no noise in you and joy cannot be found, you can always come with singing to the throne of God. Finding strength in singing to God in times of distress.
His face!
Revelation 19:11-16
(^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ on powerpoint and messenger/interpreter notes but not on handout!!!)
In these three ways, worship comes before understanding... whether a shout, service or song... let's do this and in doing so discover just how great he is and our identity in him...
The simplest and most profound worship is simply this: ask Jesus to forgive you for living apart from him and to come be part of your life
