4. Read Psalm 40:1-3 and discuss. How does it help you to simply consider what God has done for you? How does that affect your ability to worship?
5. Read Matthew 22:37-38 and discuss. Why does it matter to express your affection for God in visible and audible ways?
6. Read Psalm 150 and Psalm 149:1. Which of the forms of worship that were mentioned in the message are ones that you have engaged in? Have you ever tried singing a ‘new song’ to the Lord? What’s holding you back - and how could you overcome that in order to engage in this Biblical form of worship?
