this week marks the final sermon following the 40 days of community. conversely, our cell is one week behind the sermon series(because of fusion). well, here goes!
FINAL week: 23 feb -- 1 march Sermon Topic: Worshipping Together Preacher: Ps. Stanley
When we think of why we worship together, we often lead ourselves to fundemental questions on our faith:
-What is worship? -Why does the church exist? Scripture reference: 1 Cor 10:31. "So whatever you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." => which simply translates to Glorify God!
worship = worthship worthship denotes the worthiness of an individual to receive special honour Scripture reference: Romans 15: 5-6
FOUR ways to glorify God:
1. By cultivating a habit of including God in every segment of our life. Scripture reference: 1 Cor 10:31
2. By refusing to expect or accept any glory that belongs to Him(God) Biblical example: John the Baptist. Scripture reference: John 1: 23-27;John 1 :30 Are we really glorifying God when we serve Him, come to worship services, etc?
3. By maintaining a priority relationship with Him that is more important than any other on earth. Scripture reference: Matt 10: 37-38
4. By living a life of giving. Everytime we give, we glorify God. 'consumerism worship':one who simply comes to get something out of the service. Scripture reference: Romans 12:1;1 Peter 2:5 Question should not be: Where can i go to get what i want? But: Where can i give to help others?
*Worship is not a spectator sport. We come primarily to give to God. Bad News: We can 'fake' giving glory to God. Pretense on the exterior ISN'T giving glory to God. looking holy doesn't either. Good News: We can truly come to God in glory. God doesn't give us anything that we can't do.
thought for the week: WHERE are we going for lunch on 1 March. Thomson food court is quite disappointing. (but the indian food is damn shiok.lol)
isaac!
