What is worship?
It is a broad category to be filled with many particular things
Adoration
Service
Individual, or as a group
Homage
Esteem highly
How do we know when we are worshipping?
Feelings
Time devoted
Importance
Worship is not a matter of if but who or what
Humans are made to worship and will worship
14 “Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. 15 And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
NOTE: Choose WHOM not IF
Our house will be an intimate setting of worship
The question is to whom?
There is no such thing as neutrality ( I think many people think they will get into heaven based off their neutrality)
Either your house is an atmosphere of worship to God, or it is not.
(later show the need to make all activities of family surrounding worship)
What is family?
15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Starts with a man who is to serve and obey God (worship)
18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” 19 Now out of the ground the Lord God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him.
A family is not complete without man’s helper
21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said, “This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
A family is a man and wife sharing deep, deep intimacy
Bone of my bone
Both naked and not ashamed
When should family worship start?
