HOW SHOULD I WORSHIP?
TEXT: John 4:16-26
Our mission is to worship and bring glory to God’s name. But so often, today it seems that how we worship is so much more about me and about how I want to worship or feel comfortable worshiping that it is about Him
My friends, it’s not all about me, it’s all about Him. From the beginning of time, worship has been God centered, and not me centered. We see this truth stressed throughout the Bible.
As Jesus has an encounter with the woman at the well in today's text, we find more "worship talk" per square inch than anywhere else in the Bible.
Let's examine it to find out what the Bible has to say about "How To Worship"
1. NOTICE ____________ WANTS TO WORSHIP
(Luke 7:41-47)
2. NOTICE WHAT WORSHIP IS _____________
While we all want to know what worship is, we find that Jesus defines it by the power of what it is not.
Maybe it's because Jesus is more interested in us doing worship rather than merely defining it.
Worship is Not _______________.
Worship is Not Anything and ____________________.
Worship is Not A Particular Style of ______________.
The Psalmist writes: "Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! Sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, bless His name; (Ps. 96:1)
"...at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, (Acts 16:25)
3. NOTICE HOW WORSHIP IS _______________.
In v.23 Jesus says that "true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit."
It leads to a further disclosure of God.
Conclusion:
Someone once said, "A Christian should be hallelujah from head to toe".
As our perception of Christ grows, the only appropriate response is worship.
The more I know of Him, the more I sense my need to bow down to Him.
Now that you know “How To” worship, why not begin right now?
