The Gin & Tonic Gospel | Psalm 95 Explained

Psalm 95 is a Psalm of two halves — invitation and warning, grace and judgement.

What happens when we separate them?

In this sermon, we explore why the order matters. When grace comes first, faith is shaped by relationship. When judgement comes first, faith becomes transactional.

Looking at Israel’s failure at Meribah (Exodus 17) and Paul’s words in Romans 5:8, we see that the Gospel always begins with invitation:

“Come… for he is our God.”

True worship isn’t performance. It isn’t earning access to God. It’s response to a love already given.

Grace that invites.
Warning that guards.
Relationship before requirement.
