Corporate worship v9aAfter this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. V10 And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb” Rev 7:9-10

  12. “You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation comes from the Jews”. V22 (The Samaritans rejected all the OT books except their version of the books of Moses. Some Samaritans could be sincere in their worship, but still sincerely wrong.)

But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-falling stream!” Amos 5:21-24

I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Rev 19:10 I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. But he said to me, “Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets of all who keeps the words of this book. Worship God! Rev 22:9

  29. Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my feet had almost slipped; I had nearly lost my foothold. For I envied the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. V1-3 Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterwards you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. V23-26 Psalm 73

  30. “ When peace like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll, Whatever my lot thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well, with my soul.” (Horatio Spafford- “It is well with my soul”)

  32. Worship as prophecy At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Rev 19:10

  33. Corporate worship will edify AND evangelize. But if an unbeliever or someone who does not understand comes in while everyone is prophesying, he will be convinced by all that he is a sinner and will be judged by all, and the secrets of his heart will be laid bare. So he will fall down and worship God, exclaiming “God is really among you!” 1 Cor 14:24
