  1. Worship The Good, The Bad & The Ugly John 4: 23-24; Isaiah 29:13

  2. W.O.R.S.H.I.P • World’s Standard • Order of Service • Religious Acts • Sacrifice of Self is Required • Holy Lifestyle • Individual and Corporate • Prayer Driven

  3. Worship • Definition – To regard with great extravagant respect, honor, or devotion; reverence; adore; to bow oneself down; to prostrate oneself before any one of honour. • (Psalm 29: 1-2; Psalm 95:6) • Derived from the Old English word “weorthscipe” meaning “worthship”(worthiness) • Greek – proskuneo – “to kiss” (dog licking his master’s hand)

  4. Worship (The Bad) World’s Standard • What is my attitude towards “worship” service? • Bored, uninterested, no fun, get nothing out of it (for me), too long, don’t take all that, I ain’t got no time for that! • Centered on the wrong individual – YOU! • Isaiah 29:13; Matthew 15: 1-9 • Wanting to be entertained; spectator Christian looking for the next “gimmick”

  5. Worship (The Good) Order of Service • God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33,40) • 1 Timothy 2: 1-10 • Praying for those in authority over us (Spiritually, career-wise, government) • Appearance (decent and appropriate)

  6. Worship (The Ugly) Religious Act • God wants to pour out His Presence on us • Worship is a key ingredient holding us back • “Style” doesn’t supersede “substance” • John 4:20-24; Isaiah 29:13; • *2 Kings 17:24-41 – The idea of worshipping out of routine is nothing new. • Still keeping “secret sins” & lifestyles as idols while still trying to worship a holy God

  7. Worship (The Bad) Sacrifice of Self • Excellent God wants an Excellent Effort! • Psalm 95: 1- 11;(Sing, shout, bow down, lift hands) • We will not enter His Rest(Peace) until we learn to worship Him for who He is, not for what we can get from Him. • Past hurts, pains, failures, disappointments should not determine how worthy God is to you. (Matthew 4:10) Worship Him Only! • Ask yourself what do YOU bring to service?

  8. Worship (The Good) Holy Lifestyle • God is always speaking to us. Worship helps tune us in to what He is saying • Joshua 3:5 – Purify yourselves for the Lord is about to do great wonders among you • Dark and Light cannot be in the same place • Jeremiah 7: 1-10 – Sin and think going to church will excuse you

  9. Worship (The Good) Independent & Corporate • Corporate worship will unleash a corporate move of God over the whole congregation. On one accord (Acts 2:1-4) • Individual worship will unleash God’s blessings and provision in your life (family) • Spend this week fervently seeking & worshipping God and expect a change in your life

  10. Worship (The Good) Prayer Driven • Pray that God will give you a new heart for Him and for worship • Pray that God will use YOU to build His church by using your time, talent, treasure • Pray that worship will not just be compartmentalized to Sunday morning • WORSHIP IS A LIFESTYLE!
