Worship
Tonight, I’d like for us to look at worship.
Worship can be something that you do that’s private, and it can be something that we do corporately.
I have heard it said that it can be broken up into two words,
Worth-ship
We worship God because He is worthy of our praise and worship.
He is worthy of all glory and honour.
He truly alone is worthy of our worship.
Exodus 20:1-17
God made it very clear to Moses and the children of Israel that there should be no other gods.
He made it clear that there should be no idols or graven images.
What does it mean that God is a jealous God?
He punishes those who hate Him, but shows love to those who keep His commandments.
What do people say about what worship is?
Jack Hayford: Worship is the pathway and the atmosphere for people to discover their royal calling in Christ, their high destiny in life, their fullest personal worth and their deepest human fulfillment.
Worship is a means by which God’s presence can be realized consistently.
Worship is an opportunity for man to invite God’s power and presence to move among those worshiping him.
Leslie B. Flynn: Worship is giving to God the glory, praise, honor and thanks due him, both for who he is and for what he has done.
Jo King: Worship is a response to God.
It is loving God in the presence of others and loving others in the presence of God.
Let’s take a look at some Scripture and see how a person’s encounter with God affected their worship.
Isaiah
Isaiah 6:1-8
What was Isaiah’s reaction to seeing a vision of the Lord?
What do we see in this passage about worship?
How did this encounter affect Isaiah?
2. Woman at the well
John 4:19-26
What was her reaction to meeting Jesus?
How was she changed?
What does it mean top worship the Father in Spirit and in truth?
John the revelator
Revelation 1:9-19
In each of these examples, when people had an encounter with God, there was something dramatic that took place.
There was impact.
Isaiah was called to be a prophet.
The Samaritan woman believed and was saved.
John fell at Jesus’ feet as though He was dead.
What part does worship play in your life?
Whether in your private times or corporately
Why is it so important to worship the Lord?
Why is it important to worship the Lord together with God’s people?
Psalm 22:3
God enjoys our worship.
He created us to worship Him, but our worship is about God’s worth and the fact that He is worthy.
We recognize that.
We sing songs of praise and worship.
We praise His name, but God is complete in and of Himself and yet it’s His will for us to worship Him.
Psalm 100
