Untitled Sermon (2)

True Worshipper

The New International Version Chapter 3

3 Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you. 2 Watch out for those dogs, those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh. 3 For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—4 though I myself have reasons for such confidence.

If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; 6 as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless.

7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. 10 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.

If ever there is a universal question being ask, it is this “What is true worship.”

Whether an individual or people of the culture recognizes it. I know many in or around the church are asking, “What is true Worship.”

Is true worship — Online or virtual church

is true worship — What you do when you come to your local church …

Is true worship --- Your personal experience and the sense you get when you think on or about God?

In other words, (I sense this question is out there in the cosmos.. The universal question that is being asked is … what is acceptable, authentic, God-honored worship.

it may be being asked for various reasons but it’s still out there.

Or you could say, some may be asking God, “What do you want?”

PHILLIPPIANS 3:

It’s not too much for me to tell you the same thing. Its a safeguard for you.

Watch out for dogs(1) represents those not in relationship with God).

2) Watch out for evildoers 2) represents folk who don’t value the things of God (that are in conflict with God… in other words their our Godly folk because the have God’s spirit. ..character or

3) People who serve God from a flesh (or carnal posture).

--- The writer reminds them - It is we who Serve by his Spirit.

John 4:23 God is a Spirit and he seeks those that will worship

God what do you want is one of those questions that is echoed through-out the generations. We’ve been introduced to this REV

THROUGH OUT THE GENERATIONS--- THE QUESTION OF WHAT GOD WANTS HOW HE WANTS TO SHOW UP IS ASKED.

REVOLUTION --- OR CHANGE IN THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT GOD… OR OUR WORSHIP OF HIM.

Jesus Tells the woman at the well.

He is the messiah --- the is a new world order ---

The order is --- the Spirit of God and truth...
