LSB 790, “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty”

Joachim Neander draws from Psalm 103 and other texts to call Christians to praise the Lord as the Almighty Creator. The Lord is the One who still reigns over all He has made, as Christians have seen time and time again. Not only has God created us with intricate care, but He also bestows good gifts and rescues us from various distresses. As we ponder all that God has done for us, we are drawn together to praise Him with all creation now and forever.  Rev. Vance Becker, retired pastor and member at Trinity Lutheran Church in Garden City, KS, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study LSB 790, “Praise to the Lord, the Almighty.”  “Songs and Thankfulness and Praise” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies a variety of hymns of thanksgiving from Lutheran Service Book. Thanksgiving is a way of life for Christians as we realize that all gifts come from God’s fatherly love for us. In times of joy and sorrow, we return our thanks to Him for His never-ending goodness and mercy.   Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: [e-mail]
