Subject: No Foreign God Can Take His Place

Scripture Reading: Psalm 115

Memory Verses: Psalm 96: 4 & 5

Objective: To remind us that every praise should be to the Great and Holy God of Israel.

Note: God does not have an equal. He alone is worthy, holy, just, powerful and awesome. Though we were made to worship, our praise should only go to the Great and Holy God of Israel. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture, made for His praise and glory. He is a jealous God. Let us worship Him in the beauty of holiness. For all that He has done for us, we should give Him the glory at all times. Put nothing nor no one above Him since He is high and lifted up. Let us ask Him to break down every idol and cast out every foe.
