Sermon Outline:

Four Ways to Live for God’s Glory (Psalm 115:1–18, ESV)

• Live for God's Glory & Not Your Own (Psalm 115:1–3)

​¹ Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory,
for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!
² Why should the nations say,
“Where is their God?”
³ Our God is in the heavens;
he does all that he pleases.

• Live for GOD & Not for Idols (Psalm 115:4–8)

⁴ Their idols are silver and gold,
the work of human hands.
⁵ They have mouths, but do not speak;
eyes, but do not see.
⁶ They have ears, but do not hear;
noses, but do not smell.
⁷ They have hands, but do not feel;
feet, but do not walk;
and they do not make a sound in their throat.
⁸ Those who make them become like them;
so do all who trust in them.

• Live for GOD by Trusting Him & Embracing His Blessings (Psalm 115:9–15)

⁹ O Israel, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.
¹⁰ O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.
¹¹ You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD!
He is their help and their shield.
¹² The LORD has remembered us; he will bless us;
he will bless the house of Israel;
he will bless the house of Aaron;
¹³ he will bless those who fear the LORD,
both the small and the great.
¹⁴ May the LORD give you increase,
you and your children!
¹⁵ May you be blessed by the LORD,
who made heaven and earth!

• Live for GOD Now & Forevermore (Psalm 115:16–18)

¹⁶ The heavens are the LORD'S heavens,
but the earth he has given to the children of man.
¹⁷ The dead do not praise the LORD,
nor do any who go down into silence.
¹⁸ But we will bless the LORD
from this time forth and forevermore.
Praise the LORD!
