Sunday 9th October - What we worship - Wayne Massey
What do you worship in life? We're in a series called Home, looking at the exile and seeking to understand where we are in an uncertain world. This Sunday's talk looks at Psalm 115, how the people in exile overcame the temptation to worship idols, and why worship is the key for us in re-ordering our priorities as followers of Jesus.
Psalm 115
Not to us, Lord, not to us
but to your name be the glory,
because of your love and faithfulness.
Why do the nations say,
“Where is their God?”
Our God is in heaven;
he does whatever pleases him.
But their idols are silver and gold,
made by human hands.
They have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes, but cannot see.
They have ears, but cannot hear,
noses, but cannot smell.
They have hands, but cannot feel,
feet, but cannot walk,
nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
Those who make them will be like them,
and so will all who trust in them.
All you Israelites, trust in the Lord—
he is their help and shield.
House of Aaron, trust in the Lord—
he is their help and shield.
You who fear him, trust in the Lord—
he is their help and shield.
The Lord remembers us and will bless us:
He will bless his people Israel,
he will bless the house of Aaron,
he will bless those who fear the Lord—
small and great alike.
May the Lord cause you to flourish,
both you and your children.
May you be blessed by the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
The highest heavens belong to the Lord,
but the earth he has given to mankind.
It is not the dead who praise the Lord,
those who go down to the place of silence;
it is we who extol the Lord,
both now and forevermore.
Praise the Lord.
In our Little Churches we asked these questions:
What are the idols of our culture and our lives?
Do I seek to be with God in worship?
Am I worshipping with others?
What difference do the promises of God make in my life?
