The Way to Worship
Samuel Burgess
Luke 7:36-50
Introduction: Worship is written upon the heart of man by the hand of God. From birth to burial a person will be confronted almost every day of his/her life with an inner craving to relate to something far higher than them self.
The Psalmist spoke of everything on earth as Praising God. He spoke of the sun, and the stars; and the mountains; and the trees; and the cattle; and the birds; and the kings; and the people. And then the Psalmist concluded the Psalms by writing; ''Let everything that hath breath Praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.''
Since all of God's creation then exists for the Praise of God's Glory {Ephesians 1:12} the true issue in life is not 'when' we will worship, but {what} or {who} we will worship. We cannot separate Worship from our life.
This truth is given to us in the beginning of the Word of God. God uses 31 verses to describe and explain to us the creation and the existence of our world. But when you get into the details and the building of the Tabernacle (representing our Worship to God) God takes 243 verses to explain to us the importance of worship.
[note]> It is important to know how we got here; but it is even more important to know what we are to do once we get here.
Every person in this building needs to understand this next statement: The number one purpose for which we were created is that we might return to God our wholehearted, sacrificial, Biblical Worship to Him.
We have missed our whole existence upon this earth if we never come into Divine, sacrificial, scriptural Worship to the Lord. We will never be fully satisfied in life until we worship the Lord.
We are told in {Isaiah 43:7}- ''Even every one that is called by My name: for I have created him FOR MY GLORY, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.''
You see, there is a God shaped vacuum in every individual. There is an inner craving in you; a void that can be satisfied only by Worship. Until th ...
