Video wrong worship video

Subject of praise and worship is about God not you.

Series, pohp

truth is, its not about you

When we wroship anything but God, it is called idolatry

Dont let anything take Gods place

isnt this the lie from the world, temptations

saying that more power is always better, more money is always better, believing that im the source of life in my world, on and on the list goes of letting things take God’s place in our hearts, food, sex, power, gossiping, money,

whats the answer?

traditional interpretation is this, if i dont love the father then i love the world, and its a choice of a or b

A. I love the world

or

B. I love God the Father

but see it does not say love for the world and love for the father, it says

Love for the world

vs

Love of the Father

see the first part is me loving the world and all it offers

but the second part is God loving me, knowing that God loves me, it says the love of the father not love for the father.

The love for the Father says ‘I love God’

The love of the Father says ‘God loves me’

you want to get rid of the junk of the world in your life dive into Knowing God the fathers love for you.

See the love for the world dissipates as we begin to know how much God loves us, how much God loves you.

its not about choosing one or the other its about believing that the God of the universe knows your name and that he sent his son into the world to die for your sins, so that you could live a life fully alive in your spirit, in your emotions, mind, relationships, every part of your lifebeing fully alive,

where does it come from, the love of the father, dive into Gods love

red ferns grow, raccoon hunting, trap down by the river acorn in a bottle

we are looking at what the world offers, and gives, instead of looking at who god is and how much he loves us, we begin to let go and the love for the world begins to be removed and the love of God begins to release all the junk and all the sin, becuase of the love of God

read verses- turn your eyes upon jesus

O soul are you weary and troubled

No light in the darkness you see

There's light for a look at the Savior

And life more abundant and free

Chorus

Turn your eyes upon Jesus

Look full in His wonderful face

And the things of earth

Will grow strangely dim

In the light of His glory and grace

Verse 2

Through death into life everlasting

He passed and we follow Him there

Over us sin no more hath dominion

For more than conquerors we are

His Word shall not fail you He promised

Believe Him and all will be well

Then go to a world that is dying

His perfect salvation to tell

sing chorus

His Word shall not fail you He promised

Believe Him and all will be well

Then go to a world that is dying

His perfect salvation to tell

turn your eyes upon jesus

real quick, why do we say love of god then sing turn your eyes upon ‘jesus’ jesus was the visible image of the invisible God Colossians

As we dive into God’s love and we are learning and experiencing God’s love and grace and his movement and his life in our lives we come together and we do this thing called praise and worship
