Psalm 100:1-5
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!

and his faithfulness to all generations.
His goodness leads me to serve with praise

Next Steps
- I confess Jesus as my Savior and King for the first time.
- I will live out Psalm 145:5 and teach and declare to the next generation the greatest of God.
- I will praise God with my mouth every morning to start my day in worship.
Deep Dive
- How does your attitude of praise impact the attitude of others?
- How can you praise God personally today? Describe one way He has blessed you today.
- Read Psalm 100 and describe how God is good.
Springboard
- Read Numbers 16. Koarah obviously had an issue with what Moses was doing, but why did it require the punishment he was given?
- If you had to describe your prayers in one word, what would that word be?
- Look at 2 Samuel 15. How does the father/son relationship between David and Absolom affect David?
