"Put on you praise" with Ps Don McDonell 8 March 2026

Through storytelling and humor, the preacher highlights how choosing praise in difficult circumstances invites God to move, just as an earthquake opened the prison doors and broke their chains.

The message encourages believers to live visibly as servants of God through praise, prayer, and willingness to serve others.

Ultimately, it teaches that worship and faith not only transform personal situations but can also impact and bring freedom to those around us.
