In this powerful expositional sermon from Psalm 98, Pastor Brandon Scroggins calls the church to recover the joyful, Christ-centered practice of singing the Psalms. From the influence of Isaac Watts and the origins of “Joy to the World,” to a stirring exploration of Psalm 98 as a kingship psalm, this message walks through the text in three key movements: singing to the Savior for His salvation, singing to the King with celebration, and singing to the Judge in anticipation.
You’ll be reminded of the central role of singing in the life of the believer and the gathered church—how it is both a declaration of doctrine and an act of spiritual warfare. Whether you're new to Psalm singing or a seasoned worshipper, this sermon will stir your heart to sing with greater conviction, depth, and joy.
