WORSHIP ISN’T
· CONFINED TO A SUNDAY MORNING EXPERIENCE
· SINGING ONLY-SINGING IS AN ACT/FORM WORSHIP
· ABOUT YOU- ITS ABOUT GOD- WHAT HE RECEIVES
· COMPARTMENTALIZED-IT’S A LIFESTYLE
· CLOSED FISTED- ITS OPEN HANDED
· CONFINED TO CERTAIN SPACES
· WHAT YOU DO-IT’S WHO YOU ARE
Worship
Expressing our love and gratitude to God, for who He is, what He’s done, what He’s said, and what He’s promised to do.
22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. 25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. 27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” 28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” 29 “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” 32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
ROMANS 12:1-2 THE WORSHIP LIFE
1-2 So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you and quickly respond to it.
Matthew 14:22-33
“MANY SPIRIT FILLED AUTHORS HAVE EXHAUSTED THE THESAURUS IN ORDER TO DESCRIBE GOD WITH THE GLORY HE DESERVES, HIS PERFECT HOLINESS, BY DEFINITION ASSURES US THAT OUR WORDS CAN’T CONTAIN. ISN’T IT A COMFORT TO WORSHIP A GOD WE CANNOT EXAGGERATE? FRANCIS CHAN

LUKE 17:14
14. “WHEN HE SAW THEM, HE SAID, “GO SHOW YOURSELVES TO THE PRIESTS.” AND AS THEY WENT, THEY WERE CLEANSED. ONE OF THEM, WHEN HE SAW HE WAS HEALED, CAME BACK PRAISING GOD IN A LOUD VOICE.
LUKE 17:16
16. HE THREW HIMSELF AT JESUS’ FEET AND THANKED HIM AND HE WAS A SAMARITAN. JESUS ASKED, “WERE NOT ALL TEN CLEANSED? WHERE ARE THE OTHER NINE?
HAS NO ONE RETURNED TO PRAISE GOD EXCEPT THIS FOREIGNER?’ THEN HE SAID TO HIM, “RISE AND GO; YOUR FAITH HAS MADE YOU WELL.
