ASCRIBE: A BIBLE STUDY ON THE TOPIC OF WORSHIP
What is worship?
Give unto the Lord the glory due unto is name.
Psalm 96:8
Whole hearted response to God.
Engagement with God on His terms where only He makes it possible.
Worship is our innermost being responding with praise for all that God is, through our
attitudes, actions, thoughts, and words, based on the truth of God as He has revealed
Himself.
Worship is all that we are, reacting rightly to all that He is.

BASIC CONCEPTS OF GLORY
To trace the story of God as the Bible presents it, we need a grasp of three related ideas which define the story: (1) His glory (2) the name of God (3) worship.
Glory
References: Psalm 86:9, Phil.
3:3
Definition:
(1) The Hebrew word for glory is a word meaning weight, sub- stance, and at the same time, brilliance or radiant beauty.
To glorify someone is to recognize their intrinsic worth and beauty, and to speak of that feature in a public way.
(2) The idea of “glory” describes honor that can be given or awarded.
When someone is exalted or made great, they are, to some ex- tent, in a biblical sense, glorified.
What does John 5:44 teach us about glory?
The Name of God
Throughout the larger story, the biblical authors use the idea of the “name of God” as a key idea.
To distinguish the functions of reference, revelation and reputation, it may help to sort out the usages with three easy-to-remember categories: name-tag, window and fame name.
Name-tag
First, there are the names themselves used to designate God in the Bible.
God is never anonymous in His story.
Let’s name some of them?
Window name
These are the names in which we get a “window” into the nature of God.
It helps us better understand who He is and how He cares for us.
The “Lord is my Shepherd” is a good example.
What do we learn from this name?
Fame name
“God’s name” most often refers to the idea of His public renown.
The function is God’s reputation.
God’s name is His global namesake.
It is the open memory, based on historical incidents, which establishes a reputation worthy of
future trust.
The Hebrew people were not only to treasure this story, but they were also to tell it.
Unlike the way of many religions, God’s revelation was never to be a secret affair for a few people.
Isaiah calls Israel to make known His deeds among the peoples, so that the nations are steadily reminded that “His name is exalted” (Isa 12:4).
What is one of the stories we know about God from the Old Testament?
Tell it and what we should learn about God from it!
Worship
Why does God want to be known with such precision?
God wants to be more than globally famous—He wants to be truly worshiped.
God Reveals Glory to Receive Glory
Psalm 96 shows these two directions of glory.
(1) The first direction of His glory is toward the world.
He shows His glory to
people throughout the earth.
He reveals who He is and what He has done in
order to bring about the second direction of glory.
(2) We give Him glory in loving worship.
God reveals glory to all nations in order that He might receive glory from people through worship.
Psalm 96
What we are to do?
1 O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day. 3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
For what reason?
4 For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
To what cause?
7 Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.
8 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
How do we go about this?
9 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
13 Before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
Have you got a glimpse of this?
Let’s read Revelation 5:1-14.
Why has God bought such undesirable humans at such an extravagant cost?
It cost Him the blood of His Son! Furthermore, why has He purchased some from every single ethnicity?
Before we are concerned about being missionaries or even disciple-makers we must be worshippers.
Psalm 148
1 Praise ye the Lord.
Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise him in the
heights.
2 Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
3 Praise ye him, sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars of light.
4 Praise him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of the Lord: for he commanded, and they were created.
6 He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: he hath made a decree which shall not pass.
7 Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps:
8 Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling his word:
9 Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars:
10 Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl:
11 Kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the earth:
12 Both young men, and maidens; old men, and children:
13 Let them praise the name of the Lord: for his name alone is excellent; his glory is above the earth and heaven.
14 He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him.
Praise ye the Lord.
The Story of His Glory
The Bible is basically a story about God.
When we turn to the Bible as a self-help book, we end up bored or frustrated with what seems to be a rambling
collection of stories.
