Eat This Book: Finding Nourishment in the Psalms | Psalm 100 - Twinkle, Twinkle Discipleship

Bible texts: Psalm 100 and Ephesians 2:1-10

Psalm 100 is simple, but that doesn't mean it is simplistic. In this first of two sermons on this short poem, Paul charts a course between the words MAKE, SERVE and KNOW to draw a new constellation and to help us see how worship is essential to being both a disciple of Jesus and being human.

Makoto Fujimura, Art and Faith: A Theology of Making:

“I would be introduced to Christianity later in my life. The journey started like a trickle of water falling from a faucet; drip by drip, through literature and art, through important relationships, and by creating and making, I felt I was honouring the source of beauty and poetry in the world. It took me a while to connect what I was experiencing to the message of Christianity … I understand now what I did not understand as a child: that every time I created and felt that charge, I was experiencing the Holy Spirit.”

C.S. Lewis, The Power and the Glory:

“They (art and music) are not the thing itself; they are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have never yet visited.”
