Worship:

Ascribing worth or value to something or someone

Practical application

Expression of reverence and adoration of God

because of this

many times in the ot this word can be exchanged or it used used as service

We are not always praising in the sense of being seen or heard, bible definitions, we are always worshiping, because we are always valuing something..

how i treat my wife, when im eventually married, i value what god says about marriage and relationships

when im at work, i value what god says about work, so the expression is to work hard unto the lord

coming together with my church family, the bible says to sing hymns songs and spiritual songs, so thats one thing we do

we value what god says and there is an expression of value expression of worship/service to the one who saved our very souls

worship only comes from a person/personhood

a rock doesnt worship

a plant or a tree doesnt worship

an idol doesnt worship

in idol can be worshipped

person hood to person hood, point worship only comes form a person/personhood

if you are a person today, what do you worship, idol, a plant, a rock, money, power, sex, or do you worship a living god? who worship?

who or what you worship can be anything, but where it comes from can only come from a person

praise a rock

Biggest misunderstanding in todays church when I hear people talk about worship is this

Worship is music

drives me nuts

kinda like dodger vs giants fans

or raiders fans against patriots

trump and pelosi

oil and water

law people vs grace people

sometimes one side of my zipper doesn’t like the other side

tough

worship is not music

music can be a powerful literally knock you off your feet expression of worship, but even then its not the music, its jesus, jesus has just done something in music that for some reason hits us right between our emotional eyes, he uses music to bring life change and amazing encounters with himself where you taste and see that the lord is good and you are never ever the same

but worship is not music, next week

expressions:

im going to go worship in my quiet time

i loved worship in the service today

youre a great worshiper

worship him with all you are

examples and Stories in scripture about worship

deep breath relax

intro story, blind man healed by jesus

jump to verse 8

vs 18 - religious spirits will fight against truth every step of the way

vs 24 - our personal stories of what jesus has done are the most potent stories we can tell.

i was in a full on depression for 2-3 years after a really bad experience at a church, i didnt want anything to do with the church, i didnt want to do music, i wanted to leave it all behind and screw it, God you are real, but this whole church thing, you gotta fix it before i go back.. full on depression, i remember being at someones house and they asked me, what did they do to you? i looked and felt and acted like i was tired, defeated, hurt, nothing mattered, confused and not sure what to do next.. and by the absolute grace of God I stand before you today as a lead pastor of a church that i love to be at.

see what changed?

Jesus, through different conversations, prayer times, and reading and thinking about things showed me, number one about forgiveness, and second, at least a little bit of what it meant to do things right so that nobody ever experiences what i experienced and that the church can be the absolute awesome blessing it was meant to be in every single persons life that walks through the doors of our church.

grace, prayed all week, all grace,

whats your story?

vs 31 - does this mean music or singer?

vs 16 - she asked how? jesus is setting her up to do one thing, believe, believe in the son of God, and by believing, her answer of how do i get this living water will be answered

vs 20 - she now pivots, he goes with her still working in the answer for her of living water

22- she is a samaritan

23- notice there are no time constraints, race, where, specific acts, theres no music, or anything specific that could make worship religous, no rules to follow other than be true and authentic and do it from your heart, spirit because its a spirit to spirit/heart to heart thing, spirit truth
