WEEK 2 : Pastor Sam

Psalm 90:1–2 (ESV): Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations. 2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.

HEBREWS 13:15 ESV Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.

WE PRAISE GOD FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE. WE WORSHIP GOD FOR WHO HE IS.

EXODUS 15:11 “Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?

PSALM 86:8-10 There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours. 9 All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name. 10 For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God.

ISAIAH 40: 28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. 29 He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. 30 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; 31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

GOD IS GOD. THAT ALONE SHOULD INSPIRE OUR WORSHIP. AND IF NOT...WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHT OF GOD?

IF YOU TRULY KNOW GOD? YOU’LL WORSHIP GOD
HE IS BEAUTIFUL
1 CHRONICLES 16: 29 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
HE IS LOVE:
1 JOHN 4: 7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins
HE IS GLORIOUS:
GLORIOUS IS DEFINED AS “MARKED BY SPLENDOR, POSSESSING AND DESERVING HONOR + FAME, SOMETHING THAT COMMANDS PRAISE”
PSALM 86:8-10 There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours. 9 All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name. 10 For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God.
Psalm 92:1–5 (ESV): It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High; 2 to declare your steadfast love in the morning, and your faithfulness by night,
Isaiah 6:1–5 (ESV): In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” 4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
SATAN’S OFFENSE
ISAIAH 14: 12-14 “How you are fallen from heaven, O Day Star, son of Dawn! How you are cut down to the ground, you who laid the nations low! 13 You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; above the stars of God I will set my throne on high; I will sit on the mount of assembly in the far reaches of the north; 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’
SATAN WANTS FEW THINGS MORE THAN TO PERVERT THE PURPOSE + INTENTION OF WORSHIP…
BE WEARY OF THE TRAP…
GOD DOES NOT EXIST FOR OUR GOOD PLEASURE
IT ALL COMES BACK TO THE HEART (KEYS HERE)
1 SAMUEL 13: 14 But now your kingdom shall not continue. The Lord has sought out a man after his own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be prince over his people, because you have not kept what the Lord commanded you.”
THE HEART OF WORSHIP BY MATT REDMAN (CCLI #: ​​2296522)
When the music fades, all is stripped away, and I simply come longing just to bring something that's of worth that will bless your heart.
I'll bring you more than a song for a song in itself is not what you have required. You search much deeper within through the way things appear. you're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship and it's all about you, it's all about you, Jesus. I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it when it's all about you it's all about you, Jesus
