Praise and Performance — Sunday, June 21, 2026

Part A — THE TEXT

Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD! — Psalm 150:6

Part B — CONTEXT & MEANING

The Book of Psalms concludes with Psalm 150, a vivid call to worship that transcends specific acts or locations. Psalm 150:6 serves as a climactic chorus, urging all creation to engage in perpetual praise of the Almighty. It holds an ecumenical exhortation that extends across all boundaries of life, commanding that every creature breathing life embrace the divine mandate to glorify God, the giver and sustainer of life.

Part C — COMMENTARY

This call to universal praise encourages believers to consider the breadth of God’s majesty and grace. As R.C. Sproul emphasized, such passages remind us that worship is not confined to a sanctuary but rather encompasses all facets of existence. We are reminded that all creation—its entirety animated by God’s breath—is called to resonate with worship. As our daily lives reflect His image, may we find moments of praise in both the ordinary and extraordinary.
