The Greatness of God in Missions (Psalm 96:3-4)

This sermon proclaims that missions flow from the greatness and worthiness of God, not primarily from human obligation or compassion, grounding the call to declare God’s glory among the nations in Psalm 96:3–4. It argues that worship is both the motivation and fuel for missions: when believers truly delight in God’s supreme greatness, they cannot help but proclaim Him locally and globally. Through biblical theology—from Genesis to Revelation—and the historical example of missionary martyrdom, the sermon emphasizes that God’s heart has always been for all peoples to know and praise Him. Missions, therefore, is not reserved for spiritual elites but is the natural overflow of a church and people captivated by God’s glory, actively declaring His marvelous works so that every nation, tribe, and tongue may worship Him.
