Behold, I stand at the door, and knock if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Jesus Christ. John 1:17

All Nations Called to Praise the LORD.

Psalm 117 is the shortest psalm, yet it carries a universal call for all nations and peoples to praise the LORD. It declares that God’s mercy toward His people is great and that His truth endures forever. The psalm reveals that worship is not limited to Israel, but is the rightful response of all humanity. Its message points beyond ethnic boundaries to the global scope of God’s redemptive purpose. The chapter teaches that God’s steadfast love and unchanging faithfulness are the foundation of true praise.

Psalms 117:1 – 117:2

  1 O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.
  2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord [endureth] for ever. Praise ye the Lord.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
We Believe…

In one God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;

In the absolute deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary and atoning death for all through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory to judge the living and the dead;

In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is empowered to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ;

In the divine inspiration of all 66 books of the Old and New Testaments as originally given, guaranteeing their infallibility, entire trustworthiness, and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct;

That all people are sinners and cannot save themselves. Salvation is received as a free gift of God’s grace, apart from works, through repentance and personal faith in the redemptive work of Christ and the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit;

In the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the eternal blessedness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost;

In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ who are thus members of His Body, the Church, whose work is the worship of God, perfecting the saints, and evangelization of the world.
