Worship

Worship- An act or practice expressing devotion, reverence, and adoration towards God.

There are many situations on the reasons to worship.

But I want to focus tonight

It is an outward reflection to a inner work or revelation.

John 4:21–24 “Jesus replied, “Believe me, dear woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem. You Samaritans know very little about the one you worship, while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes through the Jews. But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.””

Mark 12:30 “And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’”

Its about you heart

Romans 12:1 “And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.”

So what does Worship Look Like

Raising you hands

Bowing before the Lord

Dancing

Shouting

Crying

Standing in awe of the Lord.

But it all comes from the Heart.

Psalm 95:1–7 “Come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come to him with thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms of praise to him. For the Lord is a great God, a great King above all gods. He holds in his hands the depths of the earth and the mightiest mountains. The sea belongs to him, for he made it. His hands formed the dry land, too. Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord our maker, for he is our God. We are the people he watches over, the flock under his care. If only you would listen to his voice today!”

Hebrews 12:28–29 “Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe. For our God is a devouring fire.”

James 4:8 “Draw close to God, and God will draw close to you.”
