Worship

This morning i went to JPCC (Jakarta Praise Community Church).

The Pastor today is Jose Carol, and he is preaching about WORSHIP.

Worship

 Revelation 22:1
 ¹ Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb






 1. W = hom are we worshipping 

who are we worshiping??? we must focus on 1 things, which is God. 

2. O = ffering

Exodus 23:15 
 "Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in that month you came out of Egypt. "No one is to appear before me empty-handed." 

Psalm 96:8

"Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering and come into his courts."

We must remember that to worship Him, we must bring offering. what kind of offering? our heart. 


 3. R = Revelation 

Without personal experience, worship will be an obligation. 
why? because without personal experience, we will not have feeling towards God. Same as if we are going into relationship, the more personal experience (Quality time, talking heart to heart) we have, the more intimate we will be, and we wont feel that we obligate to do all the things.  


4. S = acrifice
Rome 12:1-2
^"1 Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. ² Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

What kind of sacrifice that we should bring?? our body and life as a living sacrifice :)

5. H = onour
 
 Worship is originated from Yunani, "Proscuneo"
means, licking, like a dog lick his master hand.

The point is, to worship we must have a good attitude, that are come from your heart. not only the action, but also from the heart.

6. I = ntimacy

Proverbs 3:6
"In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."

7. P = Presence
 Just remember that, God presence is everywhere. don't try to put God in a box, since He can't be boxed and He can appeared anytime, anywhere

 

So, are you ready to worship God??

"To worship you, To worship You,

To lifted up, Your name, high above.. all things"
