The Weapon of Worship (2 of 7)
by Lenny Ports
We are in a sermon series called ''Instruments of God'' and our key verse is in Romans 6:13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. The word ''instruments'' in this text means instruments or weapons or tools. Last week we talked about being His instrument. In the same way that a musical instrument cannot produce any sound on its own, it must be played by its master, we too are God's instruments and He desires to make a beautiful sound and symphony of our...
God Is Worthy of Worship (1 of 40)
by Jesus Culture Resources
''Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.'' - Howard Thurman Think about the main thing that inspires you. What is it that really makes you tick, that moves you to action? Humans are passionate beings. That's how God made us. When something catches our eye that is truly beautiful and awesome, we can't hold back our reckless pursuit of more. The world is constantly fighting for our attention. We are bombarded with pictures, messages, and ideas vying for our passion - for our hearts. The question is...
When Worship Is about Me (5 of 7)
by Jim Perdue
Tonight, we continue our Sunday evening series entitled Accidental Pharisees. If we are not careful we can worship our traditions instead of worshipping Jesus. That's what Pharisees do. They love their rules, their standards, their traditions, and their preferences more than they love God. Jesus recognized this and would never let them get away with it. Here's a perfect example in Mark 7:1-8. Here, Jesus calls them out. He says they honor Him with their lips but their hearts are far from Him. He says they love the commandments of men more than the doctrines of God. READ TEXT - PRAY *I used to think that The Gaither...
The Call to Worship - Part 1 (1 of 2)
by William Wyne
As we study scriptures week after week, privately and corporately, I think we would have to agree that God delights in being worshipped. There are a plethora of things that God is pleased with and delights in. I truly believe that worship toward Him from creatures below is like a maestro directing a perfect symphony, and the maestro hears all of the instruments are harmoniously being played to make the perfect music. Worship to God is perhaps like an artist who has just painted or purchased a masterpiece that displays the artistic virtue of a Picasso or a Rockwell and all of the beauty and images...
Guidelines for Worship (3 of 11)
by Ken Trivette
As we continue looking at the Ten Commandments, in this study I want us to look at the second commandment: ''Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them...'' (Exo. 20:4-5a). The first commandment tells us that God is the one and only God, and we are to have no other gods before Him. The second gives us regulations for our worship. The Bible says in Psalm 29:2, ''Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty...
True Worship (3 of 4)
by Steve Jones
A young boy had attended several baseball games with his father and learned the tradition of singing the national anthem before each game. Subsequently he attended church on the Sunday before Independence day and the congregation sang several patriotic hymns, including the Star Spangled Banner. After singing the National Anthem in church the congregation sat down and there were several seconds of silence before the little boy's voice rang out in the quiet sanctuary ''Play ball!'' Worship can be enjoyable and fun, but it is not a game. One of our purposes in the Church is to worship God. One of our goals as...
The Power of Worship (5 of 5)
by Jeff Schreve
Lord we praise You, and we bless You and we clap our hands to You. Lord You are worthy and our minds can't comprehend what it is going to be like that day we meet You in glory. Lord thank You for the promise that You have given to us and that is eternal life and that starts the moment that we receive You as Savior and Lord and it culminates in the day when faith turns to sight. And we get to meet You face to face Lord, the One that we have known heart to heart. And God I ask You to speak as You have spoken through the music to speak through this message and speak through the power of Your Word to our hearts...
Life Changing Worship (1 of 3)
by Ernest Easley
As you are turning to Colossians 3 .. I want to ask you a question: when was the last time you experienced life-changing worship? I mean, there was such an awareness and awe of His presence, such an atmosphere of His presence .. that your life was changed! I'm afraid that we worship our work .. work at our play .. and play at our worship and then wonder why we miss a life-changing worship experience! In fact .. the sign that we have truly worshipped on Sunday is a changed life on Monday! Well for the next couple of Sundays, that's what I want to talk to you about: Life Changing Worship! Worship that changes...
A Heart to Worship (6 of 13)
by Jeff Strite
A little 6 year old girl and her 4 year old brother were sitting together in church. The brother was giggling, singing and talking out loud. Finally, his big sister had had enough. ''You're not supposed to talk out loud in church'' she said. ''Why? Who's going to stop me?'' the boy asked. The girl pointed to the back of the church and said, ''See those two men standing by the door? (pause…) Those are hushers.'' APPLY: What's a ''husher?'' I spent a fair amount of time this week considering that and I've come up with a deeply theological interpretation of that term. Now get ready. A husher… is someone who wants to...
Acceptable Worship (1 of 4)
by Joe Alain
What does our worship say about what we think of God? Is our worship acceptable to God? Is there a way to evaluate what is acceptable worship? Malachi is a book of revival and the first message that Malachi brought to God's people had to do with restoring their relationship with God, as evidenced by their worship. Apathy toward worship and the laws of Moses had reached such proportions in Israel that God raised up the prophet Malachi to reprimand the people. The people of God had lost their sense of ''chosenness'' (1:2). They ceased honoring God, intermarried with unbelievers, divorce was high and...
The Way to Worship
by Samuel Burgess
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...
Vital Worship
by Claude Thomas
After our youngest son had a tonsillectomy, the nurses would come in periodically and take his vital signs. There are vital signs in worship. Worship that is vital, enlivened, invigorating, and life-changing makes a difference. The Psalmist spoke of that kind of worship is Psalm 66. It says that vital worship . . . I. Moves God's people with anticipation of ultimate adoration, vv. 1-4 Explanation: These verses depict the world's homage. The Psalmist expressed the concern and quality of true worship. "The honor of His name" is the concern, and to "make His praise glorious" is the proper quality. Transition Statement...
The Way To Worship
by Adrian Rogers
I want you to take your bibles and turn to Exodus chapter twenty if you will please, Exodus chapter twenty. We're going to read verses one through six. And God spake all these words saying, I am the Lord thy God which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other Gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto me any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them nor serve them for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquities of the...
What is Worship?
by Dr. J. Vernon McGee
On next Lord's Day morning, if the ministers over this land of ours were to ask this question: "How many of you have ever worshiped God?" no doubt virtually every hand would be lifted. Therefore, it would be presumptuous, would it not, for me to say that very few people have actually worshiped God? But there are some Christians who have never really worshiped Him. We feel that is revealed today in the lack of vitality and vigor in our worship. It is a fact that public worship is anemic and aimless for the most part. It is further reflected in a lack of meaning and an abysmal ignorance of worship. It has been reduced to an empty...
The Heart of Worship
by Lenny Ports
In last week's message, we compared Old Testament and New Testament worship. Under the Old, the emphasis of worship was sacrifice. Animals would be killed and their blood was brought into the very presence of God as an offering in order that God would have mercy on His people because of their sins. Under the New Covenant, Jesus is the Object of our worship because it was He who paid the ultimate sacrifice on the cross for our sins. Jesus is the precious Lamb of God who shed His blood on the cross for us and brought His own blood before the Father as the atoning sacrifice for our sins. We no longer have to...
Worship Is Experiencing Jesus
by Stan Coffey
If you'll take your bulletin, you'll notice inside your bulletin there's an outline for today's message from the book of Revelation. If you'd like to take you Bible and look at Revelation chapter 1, or inside your bulletin you'll find your outline from Revelation chapter 1 beginning in verse 9. Today's message is entitled, "Worship is Experiencing Jesus". Notice, as be begin reading in Revelation 1:9 "I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. On the Lord's Day I...
The Experience of Worship (1 of 5)
by Ernest Easley
Now with Bible in hand, join me in the New Testament book of Acts. And once you're there, turn please to the second chapter. Acts chapter two! I heard about two men who went into business together. One man's name was Jim Heart and the man's name was Paul Head. Mr. Heart and Mr. Head. So what do you think they called their new business? ''Head and Heart.'' Well, not long after that began, tragedy struck. Heart died. At the funeral, a friend of the family in referring to their business said, ''Poor Heart has died and left Head alone.'' Friend, when it comes to Worship, I'm afraid that Poor Heart had died and left...
Right Worship (6 of 13)
by Jerry Vines
Moses is the wise pastor. He is instructing the people as they are preparing to enter into the Promised Land. He has reviewed their past. He has reminded them of God's blessings upon them and their responsibility to be obedient to the commands of the Lord. He has given what we call the backward look. He has given the inward look. Now he is getting ready to give them the forward look. He is turning their attention toward the land of Promise. In that setting and in that atmosphere, Moses is going to share with the people the importance of right worship. Worship is the most important thing we ever do. Whether it is...
Worship God
by Robert Dawson
It was little Michael Emmanuel Jr's 6th birthday. Family and friends gathered to celebrate at the local Chuck E. Cheese in Boca Raton, Florida. The party was going well, kids were playing, parents were talking, and then party ended. That's when the trouble began. All the children and adults climbed into three different vehicles and headed home. Everyone, that is, except Michael. Apparently, the 6-year old returned to the play area, and when everyone else departed, he was left behind. Employees found Michael wandering around the restaurant at 10pm and called the police. Michael's mom had assumed that...

The Worship of the Lamb (12 of 40)
by Ernest Easley
We are resuming this morning our study of GOD'S SPECIAL BOOK OF BLESSING. And of course I'm referring to the book of Revelation, the Apocalypse, the unveiling of the Lord Jesus Christ. So, take God's word and join me in the book of Revelation. We come this morning to chapter 5. Now let's remember where we are in our study. Jesus gives us an outline to follow back in 1:19, "Write the things which you have seen (chapter 1: the glory of Jesus), and the things which are (chapters 2-3: the grace of Jesus), and the things which will take place after this" (chapters 4-22: the government of Jesus.) ... "after...
Authentic Worship (61 of 70)
by Jerry Watts
Today, we read a story of another woman - picturing another type of church, a church who adores her Lord, her bridegroom, and worships Him authentically. There is so much talk ABOUT worship today and what is amazing is this: Some of the people who believe themselves to KNOW WHAT WORSHIP should be are people who have never invested themselves enough to understand it. Not long ago I heard a preacher say, ''If the average church member knew what worship really was, they would not bother with attending the service.'' Why would a preacher say that you ask? Because of what worship is and what...
Concerning Worship (4 of 11)
by Zach Terry
What will Solomon use to arrest our attention and bring us to a sober, fearful view of God? What will he point out to indict us for our lack of fear? Of all things - Solomon and Christ through Solomon wants to talk to us about, "How we come to worship". Alistair Begg said, "When we approach the assembly of God's people we should do so with a vivid awareness of the qualitative difference between God and us". Do you come here as if you are entering into a Holy Experience. It's not a Holy Place, But it is a Holy Gathering. Without the people, there is no uniqueness here. TEXT: Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 (ESV) 1 Guard your steps...
