John 4:5-26

Worship = The object of adoring reverence , To give Worth to something.

1.) Worship isn’t Blind - Acts 17:23(ESV)

2.) Worship isn’t Empty - Matthew 15:7-9(ESV)

3.) Worship isn’t Forced - Colossians 2:18

"What is worship? Worship is to feel in your heart and express in some appropriate manner a humbling but delightful sense of admiring awe and astonished wonder and overpowering love in the presence of that most ancient Mystery, that Majesty which philosophers call the First Cause, but which we call Our Father Which Are in Heaven." - AW Tower

# Worship is my truth encountering his truth

# Worship is personal before its public

# Worship is me giving God greater worth than anything else

# Worship is my mind and my heart being poured out to God

"Worship must be vital and real in the heart, and worship must rest on a true perception of God. There must be spirit and there must be truth. . . . Truth without emotion produces dead orthodoxy and a church full (or half-full) of artificial admirers . . . . On the other hand, emotion without truth produces empty frenzy and cultivates shallow people who refuse the discipline of rigorous thought. But true worship comes from people who are deeply emotional and who love deep and sound doctrine. Strong affections for God rooted in truth are the bone and marrow of biblical worship." - John Piper
