0:00.0	In Psalm 149, we find one of seven different words that are translated as our English word
0:08.2	praise. There are seven different Hebrew words that are used throughout the Bible to describe
0:14.4	this thing that we call praise, this thing that we think of when we think about worship, praising
0:19.0	God, giving Him worship. Of course, in English word of this advantage because we just have the one
0:24.2	word praise. And it's been said that if all you ever have is a hammer, as you look around
0:30.3	your life, all you're going to see is nails, right? Because if you only have a hammer, you're
0:33.9	going to look for a reason to smack that hammer on something. And so life's just going to tend to
0:38.2	look like it's full of nails. And that is why it is powerful to get a more sophisticated toolbox.
0:45.9	This is true on a number of levels. This is for sure true emotionally, baby, right? If you're only

1:26.5	things in your life at the same exact level. Hopefully you do love ice cream, but hopefully it's not
1:32.4	the same love you would have for your spouse. And hopefully the love that you have or the
1:37.5	allegiance that you have for the Seahawks or the Broncos or the Chief, feel free to get excited
1:42.3	at any point as I mentioned something that provokes the response in you. Hopefully, that's not
1:49.6	the same level of fidelity or loyalty that you have for your Savior. And so in the Greek,
1:56.7	we got these four different words for love, store gay and filet, and agape, and eras. And so you
2:06.1	get to tailor make your approach on what you're trying to actually communicate based on which
