 SAYING: “If you’re not on board when the flight leaves,

you’re probably not going to get on board later.”

 Proverbs 4:23 (GW)

“Guard your heart more than anything else,

because the source of your life flows from it.”

 John 10:10

“I am come that you might have life, and that you

might have it in abundance.”

 In every church service there is a way

you can check the condition of your heart.

 Revelation 5:11-13 (NLT)

11 Then I looked again, and I heard the voices of thousands and millions of angels around the throne and of the living beings and the elders.

12 And they sang in a mighty chorus:

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered—

to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength

and honor and glory and blessing.”

13 And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea.

They sang: “Blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the one sitting on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever.”

 HOW I VIEW A WORSHIP SERVICE

I make it very personal

 FIRST OBSTACLE: It’s not just Jesus and me.

 SECOND OBSTACLE: The Songs

 THIRD OBSTACLE: Stuff happens!

 TRUTH: If there is no worship coming out of you,

there is something seriously wrong with your heart.

 Psalms 51:6: “I know that you delight to set your truth deep in my spirit. So come into the hidden places of my heart and teach me wisdom.”

 Psalms 51:7: “Purify my conscience! Make this leper clean again!

Wash me in your love until I am pure in heart.”

 Psalms 51:10: “Create in me a clean heart. Fill me with pure thoughts and holy desires, ready to please you.”

 Psalms 51:14: “Then my heart will once again be thrilled to sing the passionate songs of joy and deliverance!”

 Psalms 51:15: “Lord God, unlock my heart, unlock my lips, and I will overcome with my joyous praise!”
