"A Song for Thanksgiving: Psalm 100 -- A Call to Radical Gratitude"
* Ps93-100 Enthronement psalms
* Psalmist wants exuberant worship, worship at full throttle
* "Noisy sheep" - Church in MI cited for exceeding local decibel limits, for ex
* Problem of inhibition. Can do it for sporting events but not for Lord? (Sound familiar, self?)
* Not just noise, but joyful noise
* Problem of self-centered focus. Attend service to receive rather than to give
* Gratitude based on six knowledges:
- Who is God, that the LORD is
- Where we come from
- How privileged is the relationship
- How good He is to us -- How good He is
- How much He loves us
- How faithful He will ever be
* Focus of all six knowledges is not us, but Him
* In John10, Jesus fulfills the OT shepherd call
