Join Pastor Justin Larkin from Northeast Christian Church for a powerful message on the transformative role of praise and thanksgiving in our prayer life. In this sermon, Pastor Justin challenges us to avoid "spiritual plagiarism" by giving credit where credit is due—acknowledging God for who He is and all He has done. Discover how prayer becomes worship when infused with gratitude and how your spiritual life deepens when every prayer starts and ends with praise.
Whether you’re in a valley or on a mountaintop, this message will encourage you to see prayer as more than a conversation—it’s an act of worship.
📖 Scripture Focus: Psalm 135-136 and Romans 1:20-21 Let these truths guide your heart as you follow Jesus daily: ✅ Prayer without praise and thanksgiving is spiritual plagiarism. ✅ Praise is for who God is; thanksgiving is for what He has done. ✅ Start and end your prayers with gratitude. ✅ Prayer becomes worship when we focus on God’s greatness. 00:00 - Welcome & Introduction 01:44 - Upcoming Easter Series: "His Hour" 03:32 - Series Recap: Prayer as Conversation with God 07:10 - Why Prayer is the Most Unique Conversation 09:08 - Praise & Thanksgiving Elevate Prayer to Worship 11:07 - Why We Often Skip Gratitude in Prayer 13:34 - What Is Spiritual Plagiarism? 16:10 - Psalm 136: Thanksgiving for What God Has Done 17:51 - Psalm 135: Praise for Who God Is 20:52 - Praise & Thanks Are Deeply Connected 22:59 - The “Spiritual Sandwich” Model of Prayer 25:02 - Final Challenge: Begin and End with Praise 26:57 - Closing Prayer If this message spoke to you, be sure to: 👉 Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/northeastchurch/ 👉 Visit our website at mynecchurch.com 👉 Subscribe to our YouTube channel @northeastchristianchurch8431
