Psalm 110 is perhaps the most important psalm of all 150. When Jesus asked the Pharisees, “Whose Son is He?” (Matt. 22:42), they replied that He is the son of David. Jesus challenged them and reminded them that David called the Messiah “Lord” in Ps. 110:1. “If David then calls Him “Lord,” how is He his Son?” In other words, the Messiah must be more than the son of David, He must be the Son of God.

Psalm 95 explains the what, the why, and the how of worship. Verse one reveals that worship is oriented towards God, not humanity. Verse two reveals that an attitude of thanksgiving is the proper way to enter into God’s presence. Verses three to five and seven reveals the content of worship is on God — as King, Creator, and Shepherd. Verse six reveals that the act of worship is one of surrender and submission.
Psalm 67 is God’s call to worship. Indeed, God desires that all humanity worship Him. In fact, one of the goals of evangelism is the worship of God. 2 Corinthians 4:15 states, “For all things are for your sakes, so that the grace which is spreading to more and more people may cause the giving of thanks to abound to the glory of God.” So there is a direct connection between evangelism and worship. Thus, a lack of evangelism results in a loss of worship and the lack of worship results in a loss of evangelism. Anyone responding to God’s call to worship should have a desire to see others worship God and in turn engage in the ministry of evangelism.
