WORSHIP
WORSHIP lays at the heart of what we must do to maintain our relationship with God. John 4 v3.The Father seeks genuine worshipers.
TO WORSHIP means to bow downor humble ourselves before a greater authority.
IN WORSHIP we acknowledge The Lord as our king, and offer a tribute of praise.
THROUGH WORSHIP we see God act for us, and hear Him speak for us.
WORSHIP keeps the lines of communication open.
THROUGH WORSHIP we respond to God's faithfulness by pledging our renewed faithfulness to Him, and by giving Him permission to do His work in our lives.
TO WORSHIP is to tell our loving Father how much we love Him in return. Psalm 48 v 9-10. And as we do all these things, God blesses us with His presence in our midst. Disorder in life and worship continually threatens the partnership with God.
WORSHIP ITSELF when done with a motive other than to honour and obey The Lord, becomes a barrier to communication with Him. As is disobedience. Obedience brings blessings.
A WORSHIPER fears God and obeys His commands. Ecclesiastes 12 v 13.
IN THE PSALMS The Lord becomes the focus of celebration and praise. They are a sacrifice of praise.
THE PROPHETS remind us that our way of worship should never be a matter of just custom and ritual, but should reflect a genuine commitment to The Lord.
THE GOSPELS are about worship.
PAUL'S LETTERS are about worship, worship as life in Christ.
REVELATION is the consummation of worship.
Should we live a lifestyle where praise and worship is central?
How? By allowing Jesus into every part of our lives, especially the bad times,.
By allowing others to minister to us.
In what ways do you worship and praise The Lord.
