WORSHIP THAT COUNTS: THE EXPRESSIONS OF WORSHIP, PT. 2 (3 OF 5)
Worship That Counts: The Expressions Of Worship, Pt. 2 (3 of 5)

John 4.23
Isaiah declares in Isaiah 38.19, ''The living, the living man, he shall praise You, As I do this day...'' Not the man that merely exists, but the man that truly lives! ''The living, the living man, he shall praise You, As I do this day.''
Folks, there's something dynamic .. there's something vibrant .. there's something exciting about living saints worshipping the living savior! In fact .. Hebrews 1.6 says, ''Let all the angels of God worship Him.'' Is there anybody here who wants to be like an angel? Then learn to worship God!!

It's now wonder David says in Psalm 40.3, ''He has put a new song in my mouth: Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the Lord.''
Not that somebody might hear you sing as you express to God how much you love Him! But that they might see you sing as you express to God how much you love Him!
In other words, when those around you see you sing, it will create an appetite for God in them and ''they will trust in the Lord.''
I just wonder what those around you saw as you sang to the Lord a few minutes ago? To begin with .... was your singing to the Lord or were you singing to those around you?
Say ...what did your singing express to God? Did it say, ''Lord, I love you wit ...
