CALL TO WORSHIP
Psalm 95:6 MSG
So come, let us worship: bow before him , on your knees before God, who made us!
Psalm 99:5 ESV
Exalt the LORD our God; worship at his footstool! Holy is He!
REASON TO WORSHIP
James 4:8 NLT
Come close to God, and God will come close to you…
Revelation 4:11 NIV
“You are worthy, our LORD and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”
EXAMPLE OF WORSHIP
Exodus 33: 9-10 NLT
As he went into the tent, the pillar of cloud would come down and hover at its entrance while the LORD spoke with Moses. When the people saw the cloud standing at the entrance of the tent, they would stand and bow down in front of their own tents.
Galations 2:20 MSG
Christ’s life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ live in me. The life you see me living is not “mine,” but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Romans 12: 1-2 NIV
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.
WORSHIP IN SONG
Psalm 59:16 NIV
But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
Psalm 150 NLT
Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His mighty heaven!
Praise Him for his mighty works; praise His unequaled greatness!
Praise Him with a blast of the ram’s horn; praise Him with the lyre and harp!
Praise Him with the tambourine and dancing; praise Him with strings and flutes!
Praise him with a clash of cymbals; praise Him with loud clanging cymbals.
Let everything that breathes sing praises to the LORD! PRAISE the LORD!
