Let's Worship

Will you worship with me?  Worship is more than just attending 'services' together....much more.  Notice what Paul says in Romans 12.1-2- I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

There is a lot to worship.  There might even be more than you have ever thought of.

Worship is a lifestyle.  An hour or two or three on Sunday is limited in how much it can do to revolutionize our life.   Sunday morning worship ought to be the cherry on top instead of the whole sundae.  Worship is something that we do everyday.  When Christians spend daily time with God in His Word and in prayer and then come together for the sole purpose of worshiping with other believers- Katy bar the door!  God moves in such as that!  The effectiveness of corporate worship, however, often depends on the life that comes with the attender.

Worship is a mindset. Notice Paul tells us not to conform to this world but be transformed by the renewing our minds in the Lord.  We need to have a Christian mindset that will stand up in the midst of a world that does not agree.  We need to have a steady mindset on Christ in a world with evershifting morals and values.  Worship is standing against the tides of the evil one's everchanging strategies.

Worship is a practice.  The more you do it, the better you get at it.  Spend time with God daily.  Don't give up.  The more you do it, the better you get at it.  Refocus your mind throughout the day back upon the Lord.  Allow Him to transform you everyday.  Don't give up. The more you do it, the better you get at it.  Come to worship this morning.  Don't conform to the pattern of others, but let God speak and move in your life leading you to worship Him without limitations.  Go ahead...you will influence others.  The more you do it, the better you get at it! 

Let's worship today!  Not just sing some songs and hear a sermon, but truly worship.
