Acts 17:24-31IntroductionMatthew 4:10Why does God desire for man to worship Him? Does God have a need or does man have a need?Serving God is for man’s benefit.God needs nothing seeing that He gives all things to man.Physically, we cannot get along without God. Matthew 5:44Spiritually, we cannot get along without God. Romans 1:16; Ephesians 1:7God wants us to serve Him for His glory. But whether we worship Him or not, He will have His glory.Psalms 148:1-13Most “innovations” that have come into the church have arisen as a result of man trying to help God out.Compare Genesis 12. Sarah thought God needed her help.Alexander Campbell made the same mistake in starting the Christian Missionary Society in 1849.Again, the same mistake was made in 1869 with the introduction of instrumental music.We cannot go beyond God’s word and try to help. We will not be successful.Whatever God commands us to do is for our benefit.Judges 5:23 – Meroz cursed for not carrying out God’s will.Why does God want us to sin? To worship and encourage each other.Why does God want us to give on the first day of the week? For our benefit.When we serve God, the benefit is ours.
