Simply put, Worship is responding to all that God is with all that we are

So where do we go from here.

So where do we go from here.

What has worship been to you?What is worship to you now?Worship is not a show that we just do here It is our chance to approach the throne of God Don’t take it lightly!

Worship is showing God that he is worthy

What has worship been to you?What is worship to you now?Worship is not a show that we just do here It is our chance to approach the throne of God Don’t take it lightly!

It would be better pronounced as “worth-ship”

Our lives lived out to show God he is worthy!

What is worship not?

Yes it is that simple

Worship is not just music

I love music

It moves me

Music was the focal point of the Psalms

But our worship has to go beyond how good or bad the music is and focus on who the songs are going to

Worship is SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT!

We worship by coming to church

We make time for him because he is worthy

We worship him by serving

We worship him in hearing the word

We worship him by fellowshipping

We worship him by living out our lives in manner worthy of the calling that he has for us

Worship has to become more than just a Sunday morning experience and move into a lifestyle!

Worship is not a feeling

Music is moving

Holy Spirit is found in the key change!

There is something about music that moves our very being

As a worship leader you can manipulate people into worship by hitting those feelings

Our worship has to go deeper than how we feel

Much like we cannot focus on whether the music is good or bad, we cannot let circumstances influence us negatively in worship

What if its a bad morning

Fight with the spouse

WE MUST WORSHIP REGARDLESS OF HOW WE FEEL!

We dedicate time here at Renew to worship in music because it gives us a time to worship corporately and it is important that we do that together.

So why do we worship?

This list is not exhaustive!

I could spend weeks on why we worship but I wanted to point out some of the areas that I think are important!

Worship is a time of rejuvenation

Have you ever come to church and just felt tired?

Life has got you down

Maybe you are just exhausted

The Psalmist was done

He describes his soul as panting for God

He was thirsty

We have to make it a point to be here even when we don't feel like it

Worship gives us a time to rejuvenate!

Worship is a time of repentance

Worship is a time of repentancePsalm 51Worship is a great time to come to God for repentanceThat is why we include communion as a part of our worship service.This gives us a time to bring our sins and ask for forgivenessIf we are responding to God for all that he is then our hearts have no choice but to be led to repentance

I could list so many.

We must rejoice in who God is, what he has done and what he will do!

Why is this important?

Where do we go from here?

As you notice we did not take communion

We are going to respond to all that God is with all that we are.

As we sing I encourage you to take communion

Remember what God did for us through Jesus

Respond to his sacrifice and love for you!
