  • Authentic Worship: Transcendent Worship

    Scripture used: Isaiah 6:1-5, Mark 8:34, Revelation 4:8, Psalm 19:1-2

    Quote: "Worship isn't about as the enter. Worship is about God. So perhaps a truer measure of worship isn't how we feel but how we made God feel. God is at the enter of our worship. May the answer to what makes 'good' worship requuires the question, 'Was God pleased by our worship?' And we know what pleases God: a humble and pure heart, worship without agenda or reservation." Luz, Honest Worship, p.18

                      5. Survival Guide for the Soul: Servanthood, Pouring Out for Others

                        Scripture used: Philippians 2:1-8

                        Quotes:

                        Richard Foster, Celebration of Discipline: "More than other single way, the grace of humility is worked into our lives through the discipline of service... Nothing disciples the inordinate desires of the flesh like service, and nothing transforms of the flesh like serving in hiddenness. The flesh whines against hidden service. It strains and pulls for honor and recognition."

                        Ken Shigematsu, Survival Guide for the Soul: "When we feel insecure, we tend to posture, brag, or name-drop attempting to make ourselves appear smarter or better than we are. But when we feel secure, loved, and cherished - when we remember Whose we are - we are energized to service others with humility and generosity."

                        Notes:

                        Our call:
                        -Be like minded
                        -Have the same love
                        -Be one in spirit and of one mind
                        -Do nothing out of selfish ambition
                        -Value others above yourselves
                        -Do not look to your interests

                        Jesus:

                        -Made himself nothing
                        -Took the very nature of a servant

                        Jesus was able to serve perfectly because he knew Whose he was.

                        We practice the habit of servanthood to:

                        1. Both affirm and learn Whose we are
                        2. transform us and grow us in humility
                          3. 25 min
