Let’s Go Deeper:
1.
What are some ways we have made worship all about us?
2. Certainly man-centered worship appeals to our ego, but what might be some other reasons we resonate with it?
3. What are some ways we try to manipulate God to do what we want?
4. If worship is more than singing, what does it look like to worship God and bring Him glory whether we eat or drink, or whatever we do (1 Cor 10:31)?
5. How can you pray without attempting to manipulate God?
6.
In what kinds of situations do you usually bargain with God? How has that worked?
7. Why do we procrastinate on fulfilling promises we make to God? How can we fight against this?
