WORSHIP
June 29, 2008

What do you hear when you hear the word "discipline"?
Is it...
Football, band, karate, exercise, graduation/study, punishment, avoid sweets.
This series is about "practically" resurrecting spiritual disciplines. About teaching us to be better followers of our teacher Jesus' ways.
As a swimmer, I will…
SATISFY the Spirit’s leading.
WIN the battles of the flesh.
INHERIT the Kingdom.
MANIFEST the character of God.
PERSONAL WORSHIP
Matthew 14:23 , Mark 1:35, Luke 5:16 Jesus withdrew by himself.
Revelation 1:10 “It was the Lord’s Day, and I (John) was worshiping in the Spirit.”
Luke 2:37 “She (Anna) never left the Temple but stayed there day and night, worshiping God with fasting and prayer.”
OUR LOVE OF JESUS MUST BEGIN WITH OUR PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP TO HIM.
FAMILY WORSHIP
Deuteronomy 6:4-9 “Listen, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord alone. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today. Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”
TRUTHFUL PERSONAL WORSHIP SPILLS OUT INTO OUR EARTHLY RELATIONSHIPS.
Look at how Jesus’ relationship with the Father spilled into his life (disciples too!).
CORPORATE WORSHIP
Jesus at Temple: taught, healed, tithed, challenged/questioned leaders, had discussion, asked questions, and more.
LUKE 24:53 “And they spent all of their time in the Temple, praising God.”
ACTS 2:46 “They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity” Peter, John, Paul & others.
AS FOLLOWERS OF JESUS, WE SHOULD FOLLOW HIS EXAMPLE TO GO TO “TEMPLE.”
Too often with worship we’ve traveled from one end of the spectrum to the other... and we lose something.
Worship is about JESUS…
1. Loving him on a personal level.
2. Loving him in your everyday life.
3. Loving him along with other disciples.
These are not 3 separate ideas but one!
