Restoring Your Life Through Worship

Isaiah 6:1-8

Remember What Worship Is?

The main Hebrew word:

• Shacah – to bow down in obedient reverence

The main Greek Word:

• Proskuneo – to bow down and kiss the hand of

The Old English:

• Derived from the word worth-ship.

Why Change Worship?

Has worship become an amusement service or a service in reverence to God?

Have you heard?

• “Worship is boring.”

• “We need to spice up our worship.”

• “I never get anything out of worship.”

What about God’s Words for Worship?

One God and one guide. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Authority is vital:

• “not beyond the things that are written.” (1 Corinthians 4:6)

• Abide in the doctrine of Christ. (2 John 9)

• Spirit and truth (John 4:24)

• Do not transgress. (1 John 3:4)

Are We Ashamed of Our Worship?

Do we make worship “us-centered” instead of God-centered?

Who does God seel true worshippers to worship?

• John 4:24

• Is worship a self-seeking act or a selflessness act?
