The Gospel of Luke reported that the disciples' response to all that Jesus did, after He ascended into heaven, was to worship Him. The Gospel of Luke ends this way:  "When (Jesus) had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. While He was blessing them, He left them and was taken up into heaven. Then they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God." (Luke 24:50-53) Evidently the first response to the truth of Jesus Christ is worship and Pastor Mark suggested this morning that the most powerful witness to the Lordship of Jesus Christ just might be God's people coming together, on the Lord's Day, to worship Him.

Scripture:

Psalm 47

Acts 1:1-11

Luke 24:36-53

1. Why are you faithful to Sunday worship? Why is Sunday worship important to you?

2. What's the most important thing we do during the worship service?

3. What is the benefit of worship? Should there be a benefit to worship? Does there have to be?

4. So why is worship be the best witness to the Lordship of Jesus Christ?

5. What would the effect be on our culture if every Christian decided that nothing was going to interfere with Sunday morning worship?

6. For what would you like to praise the Lord?
