Corporate worship cannot happen without repentance.
Don’t miss how hopeless we would be without the presence of God.
Illus: When I breath I take oxygen for granted.
Most days I breath without thinking.
I just do it.
yet for life and function, there is little as important than air.
WIhtout air, you could not survive one moment.
Have we taken the presence of God for granted?
Do we just go through the motions, never searching, never longing for God’s presence?
A church who does not have the spirit of God is no different than a body without air.
We are lifeless.
Far to often when thinking about corporate worship and the church, we think about style, music, and other secondary things.
The core of worship is whether we meet the presence of God here.
Everything else is secondary.
God is present when we are humble.
Illus: Let us think through the oxymoron of the way we do church.
We say, I want the music at church to be pleasing to my ears.
We say, I want the programs of the church to be tailored to my life.
We say, I want the sermon to be interesting, not to long, funny, etc.
This has not come out of any gripes or complaints… but truthfully we treat church like it is a business, and we are it’s consumers.
If the church does not meet your needs, there is a church that will meet your needs.
This heart which is rampant across our country and in our city it the very heart which quenches the spirit of God.
If you want to see the Spirit of God work among us, the first step is stop worshiping ourselves at church, and humility pursue God alone.
Corporate worship is all about God.
The center focus of our worship should be God alone.
Illus: Can you imagine what worship would be like if we actually believe we would encounter God together?
Instead of a morning that you go to church because it is a part of your life, you actually believed you would experience the awe and wonder of God.
Would it change the way you came?
Would it change how often you came?
Would it change you heart when you came?
The change in our worship would be phenomenal… if we actually came for the right reasons.
Our God is a living God.
He desires to know us.
Our church is His bride, and we are his beloved.
It is time we stopped treating God’s bride as if she were an option or business that caters to our wants.
This should be the theme of our worship
Corporate worship is when we are gathered in humility to give God the reverence He deserves.
Illus: at the front of our church we have prayer rails.
They are there so that you can physically humble yourself before God.
I know when I preach a sermon and God convicts you there is this temptation to say, I don’t want to go down, someone might think there is something wrong with me.
Deeply, God is working in the lives of people across this church.
What is keeping you from moving forward often is your pride.
We cannot move forward until we are willing to crucify our pride.
Unless we are willing to publicly follow God in humility, we will remain stuck.
Corporate worship bring us into God’s presence.
God will meet us when we approach Him rightly.
Illus: We are coming to that moment in the service where I offer an invitation.
This is not just a time for that person sitting next to you.
It is your time.
Do you want to see God work in your life?
Do you want to see God work in the lives of people at our church?
The first step today is a step of humility.
It is a step admitting to your pride.
It is a step intimidating sin to God.
It is a step coming to God to meet him.
We can play church, and go through the same motions week after week, or you can choose to humble yourself and meet with God today.
