Vertical Praise Beats Horizontal Living | Psalm 145 | Chris Miles

Where has your awe gone? In Psalm 145, David gives voice to a life of praise — looking beyond ourselves and recognising the greatness, goodness and faithfulness of God. In this message, Chris Miles explores the difference between “vertical praise” and “horizontal living.” It is easy for our attention and awe to become fixed on ourselves, our achievements, possessions, worries and the world around us. But when our awe is rightly directed towards God, praise becomes the natural response. Psalm 145 also gives us an important calling: “One generation commends your works to another; they tell of your mighty acts.” — Psalm 145:4 From the beauty of creation to the mighty acts recorded throughout Scripture, and ultimately to the death and resurrection of Jesus, we have a story worth telling. Chris challenges us to look up again, rediscover our awe of God, speak His praise and pass the good news of Jesus from one generation to the next. Vertical praise beats horizontal living. 📖 Bible passage: Psalm 145 🎙️ Speaker: Chris Miles ⛪ Chilton Hall Community Church (CHCC), Stowmarket About CHCC Chilton Hall Community Church is a Christian church in Stowmarket, Suffolk.
