Let Us Offer up Sacrifices of Praise! (12 of 12)
Series: Let Us

Hebrew 13:15-16; Romans 12:1-2
INTRO: Mention the word ''Worship'' to someone and see how they respond! To most people the idea of ''Worship'' is something that happens on a Sunday morning in a building somewhere called a church. For some, the conditions have to be just perfect in order for them to worship - too often people don't enjoy worship unless things are just right, thus we are good at finding all kinds of reasons to avoid church! Imagine the world acting like this!
ILLUS: The reasons why I'm giving up sports: football in the fall, baseball in the summer, basketball in the winter. I've had it all. I quit attending sports once and for all, and here are my 11 excuses:
1. Every time I went, they asked for money.
2. The people I sat next to didn't seem friendly.
3. The seats were too hard and not comfortable at all.
4. I went to many games but the coach never came to call on me.
5. The referees made decisions that I couldn't agree with.
6. The game went into overtime and I was late getting home.
7. The band played numbers I'd never heard before and it wasn't my style of music.
8. It seems the games are always scheduled when I want to do other things.
9. I suspect that I was sitting next to some hypocrites. They came to see their friends and they talked during the whole game.
10. I was taken to too many games by my parents when I was growing up.
11. I hate to wait in the traffic jam in the parking lot after the game.
Worship and praise is not something that comes just from the right conditions around us, it comes from the heart and from our life, we are always worshipping, it is not just what happens on Sunday morning!
PROP. SENT: The Bible will teach us that both our LIPS and our LIFE should be offering up praise to God continuously.
