God is in control.
God is approachable.
God is all about the acoustics.
Worship is the result of a decision you make, not a feeling you have.
Definition of worship: To love, to show admiration, or affection.
ACTION PLAN: We were made to worship. Read the passages from this week's sermon during your quiet time. Focus on the passages that describe the different expressions of worship. Copy the verses down or underline them in your Bible and circle the action words that describe physical activity. Pick one or two and practice them this week. Play songs of worship at home or in the car and try out the practice you identified. Then, incorporate them into your worship at church next week. Remember that you're not drawing attention to yourself, you're being obedient!
Why worship?
God commands it.
Those around you need it.
You need it.
