25.11 God's Universal Call to Worship (Part 1)

Today, The Indigenous Faith broadcast looks to Craig Smith as he opens God's Word to Psalms 148 in a message he's titled, God's Universal Call to Worship.  This series looks at all levels of creation as they all, in their unique ways, worship the One who created them.  All the way from the starry host in the vast universe, to the great sea creatures under the waters that surround the globe, God's handiwork is on display as a symphony of praise, adoration, and worship of the God of the Bible.  Craig shares some timely quotes from Dr. A.W. Tozer about worship losing its way when it begins to look more like the culture around us than the Christ within us.  Craig also addresses the two cultures relevant to Indigenous people of this great land, that of the dominate society and that of our tribal, Indigenous people.  Worship's biggest challenge in modern culture is it becoming entertainment and in the Indigenous culture when it syncretizes with the old traditional religions, practices, traditions, and sacred objects.  Ultimately, the goal is to help biblically healthy Indigenous followers of Christ worship the Lord in His way, and not ours.  Principles that will help build a lasting faith are presented clearly on the table of today's biblical buffet.  Join Pastor Smith as he opens God's word for a timely message for us today.
