How often do we hear the pastor congratulate us on Sunday morning for being in church and participating in worship? That’s exactly what Will Willimon, professor of the Practice of Christian Ministry at Duke Divinity School, acclaimed pastor, and author of over sixty books, does at the beginning of his sermon on Psalm 111. He says, “Psalm 111 is focused entirely, obsessed completely with God.” Listen as Willimon walks us through how this psalm explicitly defines God’s character and how it can make a difference in our lives as we participate in the countercultural activity of attending worship each week.

This sermon is from A Sermon for Every Sunday, a series of lectionary-based video sermons designed for use in worship, Bible study, small groups, Sunday school classes or for individual use.
