When we consider the story of God’s call upon Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac, we usually don’t think of Abraham’s obedience as an act of worship, but true worship and obedience to God’s calling are tied together.
Message Series: True Worship
Are you ready and willing to commit and put in the necessary work required to become a daily worshiper of King Jesus? This message is designed to help us grow in our knowledge and our prayer life, with the hopes of becoming the Christian who worships God in “spirit and truth”.
Worship doesn’t have to be complex, loud, and showy, for it to be authentic. The things which motivate us lead us to true worship. When that worship is motivated by the love we have for God, the results are expressions of pure joy.
Jesus told a Samaritan woman at the well of Jacob that God is seeking those who will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. Most of us at least now and again enter into wholehearted worship overwhelmed by God’s Spirit, but to worship God in Truth we must come to a point of awe at God’s worthiness to be worshiped. Only then can we fully enter into the spirit of worship which God desires from us.
Sometimes, it seems we can’t feel the presence of God in our hearts even though as born-again Christ followers we know that His Spirit dwells in us. At times like these we need to remember the words of Psalm 22:3 which says God is enthroned in the praises of His worshipers. We can draw closer to God and experience His presence more intimately by joyfully offering Him the praise He is due.
