Worship - We hear this word a lot around church. Worship service, we have worship music, and worship leaders, we have worship teams, we hear ‘it’s time for worship’.

Now I love to play the piano, and am grateful for the opportunity to play so often here at Cross Church - and I love it! But is worship just about music? Hymns vs Praise Choruses? We should look to music as simply an expression of our hearts - hearts filled with deep thankfulness and love for God, and a willingness to serve Him completely. And in regards to our gatherings, when we consider how many millions of Christians in the past, or currently around the world, are not able to meet and worship together out of fear of being imprisoned, tortured or put to death. We cannot take our gatherings for granted.

What does worship mean to you? What is True worship? And where is your heart truly at? We will explore these questions and a few others this morning.

"And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, 7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.” -Exodus 34:6-7
