A Sacrifice of Thanksgiving: God's Grand Entrance

This sermon begins by discussing a joke about church finances, but transitions into a deeper examination of Psalm 50, focusing particularly on God's majesty and divine nature. The Ken explores the three Hebrew names for God used in the psalm - El (Mighty God), Elohim (Creator), and Yahweh (the personal, covenantal name) - to illustrate God's progression from an awesome, powerful deity to a personal, loving God who has a relationship with His people. The sermon concludes by connecting this grand vision of God to the present moment of communion, suggesting that while God's final grand entrance is yet to come, He is present with the congregation in the breaking of bread and drinking of the cup.
