As we have been studying Psalm 100, we have learned that worship is not just attending a service or saying a prayer. Recently, in a youth activity message, I taught the young people six questions to ask which help us as we study the Bible. Who, what, when, where, how, why? Read Psalm 100. Who? […]
During the yet future Tribulation, all those in God’s presence will worship the Lord.
