• 0:11
  Hello friends, it's Sean here it is the 10th of January.
• 0:17
  It is Friday and we have made it to the end of another week.
• 0:21
  Whether it was a busy one or a relaxed 1 or whatever it was,
• 0:26
  welcome to Friday. So good that you and I can take
• 0:30
  this moment out of whatever's happening, along with all the
• 0:33
  other people who are gathering right now.
• 0:35
  That's right, all of us come together each day in this
• 0:39
  community. Although we can't see each
• 0:40
  other, we can't give each other a slap on the back and say good
• 0:43
  on you buddy. We can gather around knowing
• 0:46
  that we gather with friends, with friends.
• 0:50
  Well, a lot around here in my part of the world, but also
• 0:53
  spread all across the globe. Wherever you are friends, you
• 0:56
  are most welcome. And I am so grateful that you
• 0:59
  choose to come here each day and use this as a way that you can
• 1:04
  connect with your God who is just so delighted that you make
• 1:07
  that choice. And today we will read a Psalm,
• 1:11
  a Psalm of praise, not just any old praise, but particularly
• 1:15
  every part of God's creation calling out or being urged to
• 1:19
  call out in praise of their Creator.
• 1:22
  So here we are, little people in a very big world, all created by
• 1:27
  our amazing God as we are going to praise Him in this Psalm of
• 1:31
  praise, Psalm 148. Praise the Lord.
• 1:46
  Praise the Lord from the heavens.
• 1:49
  Praise the Lord from the skies. Praise Him all his angels,
• 1:54
  Praise Him all the armies of heaven.
• 1:58
  Praise Him, sun and moon. Praise him.
• 2:02
  All you twinkling stars. Praise him skies above.
• 2:07
  Praise Him vapours high above the clouds.
• 2:11
  Let every created thing give praise to the Lord, for He
• 2:16
  issued His command and they came into being.
• 2:20
  He set them in place forever and ever.
• 2:23
  His decree will never be revoked.
• 2:26
  Praise the Lord from the earth, you creatures of the ocean
• 2:30
  depths, fire and hail, snow and clouds, wind and weather that
• 2:36
  obey Him. Mountains and all hills, fruit
• 2:40
  trees and all Cedars, wild animals and all livestock, small
• 2:46
  scurrying animals and birds. Kings of the earth and all
• 2:51
  people, rulers and judges of the earth, Young men and young
• 2:57
  women, old men and children, let them all praise the name of the
• 3:03
  Lord, for His name is very great.
• 3:06
  His glory towers over the earth and heaven.
• 3:11
  He has made His people strong, honouring His faithful ones.
• 3:16
  The people of Israel who are close to Him, praise the Lord.
• 3:32
  You are indeed worthy of all our praise.
• 3:36
  It's easy for us to forget that every single thing we have ever
• 3:40
  seen or experienced or dreamt of is your creation, our mighty
• 3:46
  Creator God. You have forged those gorgeous
• 3:50
  valleys that we look over as the sunsets.
• 3:53
  You have forged the beautiful blue or grey or black or
• 3:58
  iridescent sky above us. You've forged all the creatures
• 4:03
  that we ever encounter and every beautiful thing that we behold.
• 4:09
  But most importantly, you have made us as your prized
• 4:13
  possession that your heart most desires to know you.
• 4:19
  Ah, thank you, our incredible Creator God, for all that you
• 4:25
  are, all that you've created, and all your love for us and
• 4:30
  your creation. We worship you, we praise you
• 4:34
  because you are so worthy of so much more than all of our
• 4:39
  praise. And we do all of this.
• 4:42
  And the saving wonderful name of Jesus.
• 4:45
  Amen.
