It has been said that worship is "the missing jewel" in the church.
Not only have we failed to understand that worship is a verb - we have failed to see it as a lifestyle. Has your worship lost its wonder? Dr. Jeremiah explores how to make worship a moment by moment reality in your life. Learn to experience the presence of God each and every day through a lifestyle of worship. Put the wonder back in your walk with God!
Instead of great singing, some Christians claim just to be making a "joyful noise," unto the Lord. Since God is more concerned with the heart than the art, that's okay. But every believer should use the gift of melody and music to worship God. Ephesians 5:18-19; Colossians 3:16
The hurry-up world we live in means people rarely take time to read the directions, and the same is unfortunately true in the Christian life. We forge ahead to service, fellowship, study, evangelism, and missions without ever stopping to complete step #1: Worship. Covers selected Scriptures.
It is politically correct to say that everyone is free to worship God in his own way. Granted, people are free to "ascribe worth" to anyone or anything. But Scripture is clear: There is only one God, and He alone is to be worshipped, in spirit and in truth. Covers selected Scriptures.
When was the last time you stopped and reveled in a sunset? Or explored the intricacies of a flower in the garden? Many people have lost the ability to be amazed at the greatness of God. There is a direct correlation between childlike wonder at God and the ability to worship Him for who He is. Covers selected Scriptures.
Some people think sacrifice means going to church in the rain. But worship in Scripture conveys a different kind of cost; one that the worshipper bears personally. What we are willing to sacrifice is an indicator of the value we place on the object of our worship. Covers Genesis 22.
Ever wonder why Madison Avenue uses jingles and songs to sell products to the American consumer? It's because the human mind remembers words and melodies more easily than plain speech. That God-given ability finds its chief application in worship. Covers selected Scriptures.
Having a building in which to worship each Sunday has many practical benefits. If there is a downside, it is thinking that worship is restricted to only that place and time. God has made every believer in Christ a temple in which He lives, a place where worship takes place continually. Covers selected Scriptures.
We know more about what won't be in heaven (prayer, pain, problems, and plagues) that what will. However, we do know at least one thing that heaven will be full of; worship. The throne of God and the worship of the Lamb will be our focus for all eternity. Covers Revelation 4:1-11.
The contrast between how Christ was reviled on earth and how He is revered in heaven is startling to say the least. One who went from being crucified on earth is now being magnified in heaven. The journey from the cross to crown is the theme of heaven's choirs. Covers Revelation 4:1-11.
The Christian life is an ongoing spiritual battle. When confusion, despair, temptation, and oppression are present, Satan may be the cause. Ironically, when worship seems least inviting or appropriate, that is when it is most needed as a weapon of spiritual warfare. Covers 2 Chronicles 17-20.
Like quizzical two year-olds with their parents, we beseech God for answers when we don't understand life's events: "Why, God?" In truth, we need answers from God less than we need the God of all answers. And we find Him in the intimacy of worship. Covers the book of Habakkuk.
For some people, life consists of managing the mountainous events which come up every day. For others, however those events are just the "small stuff" of life. Not that they aren't important - but they pale in significance when viewed in light of eternity. Covers Revelation 4:1-11.
