In his sermon titled "Praise the Creator and Savior," Kevin Thacker articulates the doctrinal significance of worshiping God as the Creator and Savior, emphasizing the necessity for believers to rejoice in the Lord as expressed in Psalm 33. The preacher outlines a structure of the psalm, noting the call to worship in verses 1-3, the attributes of God as Creator (vv. 6-9), Judge (vv. 10-11), and Savior (vv. 12-19). Thacker stresses the mighty sovereignty of God revealed through creation, His judgment on the wicked, and the comfort found in His salvation. He underlines that true praise arises from a heart made new by God's grace and is a privilege of the righteous, who are drawn to worship regardless of life's circumstances. This connects to Reformed doctrines of total depravity and irresistible grace, affirming that worship is enabled by God alone.
“The only ones that can truly rejoice in the Lord are the ones that the Lord's revealed himself to.”
“We can’t do it by ourselves. We can't do it, but he has to make us.”
“The eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy.”
“If you're in his son, He says, thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you an expected end, a sure outcome.”
