Pete Cowley concludes our mini-series on Worship in God's Big Picture.

 

How do we worship?

1) As Family

 

  • Jesus is essential

Rom 3:23, I Tim 2:5-6a, Rom 5:8, John 1:1

  • I am adopted into His family / I encounter His love

2 Cor 5:17, Rom 6:23, Rom 8:25

  • His Spirit dwells in us as His children

John 16:13, John 14:23, John 14:26

  • His love flows out of us

Col 1:27, 1 John 4:19

  • The promise is for our children / There is no junior Holy Spirit!

Matt 19:14, Deut 6:7, Prov 22:6

 

2) In preparation

 

  •  Myth 1: I'm here to be entertained

Myth Buster: I Cor 14:26-28 - Each one has / Everything must be done / Spiritual gifts

  • Myth 2: I'm the entertainer

Myth Buster: Matt 18:20 - We are reliant on God being with us.

  • Right Preparation / Worship that starts in the heart

I Sam 13:14, Deut 5:6 - Come ready to receive, respond and do others good!

 

3) Singing

 

  • God Himself sings

Zeph 3:17

  • Singing engages us with truth / I come away edified

Col 3:16

  • Singing engages our emotions / I stop listening to myself, and start singing to myself!
  • Singing helps us express our unity in God

Eph 2:14

  • There is singing in heaven

Rev 5:9-10
