What is Worship?

  the performance of certain religious duties at
  set times, but in the spirit in which the
  ordinary duties of common life are performed.
• William Law

Most People Have a Problem with the Truth

• Pilate did (John 1833-38)
• Christianity is not a cunningly devised fable
  we are following(2 Peter 116-19)
• Gods Word IS truth (John 1717)
• The Bible is proven by the fact that so many work
  so hard at corrupting it (2Corinthians 217)

The Two Sides of Worship

• Worshipping in Spirit internal, right attitude,
  consuming
• Worshipping in Truth worshipping according to
  Gods way, the true way
• Both are related both are two vital halves of
  worship that must be balanced

9
The Meaning of Worshipping in Truth

• It is Gods way of worship How He expects us to
  approach Him
• To worship God in truth means to worship Him in
  sincerity, in reality not faking it, or just
  going through some traditional motions or rituals
• It means no hypocrisy, no guile, not something
  that is guessed at, but obeyed from the heart!
• Our worship is limited strictly to how the Bible
  says to worship God any other way is of the
  devil!

10
The Truth About Right Worship

• True Worship is Simple (2Corinthians 112-4)
• True Worship is Real (Matthew 1525).
• True Worship is of the Saviour (Philippians
  25-11)
• True Worship is Serious (Psalm 210-12)
• True Worship is Humbling (Micah 68)
• True Worship is Clean (Psalm 292)
• True Worship is Tested (1John 41)
• True Worship is Thankful (Psalm 100)

Conclusion

• Worship for too long has been the domain of
• Its just how we do it
• Whatever feels good, do it
• Whatever works for you
• Thats not what Jesus is promoting in John 424
  there most definitely is a right way and a wrong
  way to worship God
• There are limits placed on how we are to worship
• Those limits are what make worship real, and
  effective which is what God deserves!
