What is worship?
Worship is the submission of all our nature to God. It is the quickening of conscience by his holiness; the nourishment of mind with his truth; the purifying of imagination by his beauty; the opening of the heart to his love; the surrender of will to his purpose – and all of this gathered up in adoration. – William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury
You have made us for yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in you. – St. Augustine
Worship does not satisfy our hunger for God; it whets our appetite. – Eugene H. Peterson
Luke 4:14-16
Then Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread throughout the entire vicinity. He was teaching in their synagogues, being praised by everyone.
He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. As usual, he entered the synagogue on the Sabbath day
Jesus modeled a life of worship
Jesus’ practice of worship was REGULAR, INTENTIONAL, PRIVATE, and PUBLIC
Worship is a sacrifice of praise with our lips and our lives
Hebrews 13:15,16
Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
Worship is an offering of our entire being, ignited by the Holy Spirit, as a living sacrifice to God.
Romans 12:1
Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship.
Worship is an experience of Spirit and Truth.
John 4:23-24
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
