Back to Basics.

Hi all!
Lately messages in Youth service have been concentrating on the basic and ofcourse, very important fundamentals that create a happy, healthy and strong Christ-lover. So lets get the ball rolling with a word from Ps Gideon of TOP -also known as our very friendly, gelled and ready, superhero ;)

WORSHIP

Let's look at how everybody (even non-Christians) understand what 'worship' means..

According to dictionaries, it is a 'feeling or expression of reverence and adoration' for a god.

But according to the Bible, 

²¹ Jesus replied, “Believe me, dear woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem. ²² You Samaritans know very little about the one you worship, while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes through the Jews. ²³ But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way. ²⁴ For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.” John 4:21-24

~ Do you know how to worship God in spirit and in truth?

Everyday we make choices. Do I want to go to school/college/work today? Or should I skip?

                                           I don't like this teacher, should I listen to her anyway? 

Basically, everything we do. Words, Actions, Thoughts also. (God is very detailed ) If what we do is pleasing to God, we are worshiping him. It's the way we show we love him back.

Worship is also Scriptural. It is based on what the Bible says, because it says that He is the King of Kings.

Worship isn't about God as what you think He is. Whether you think God is this or that to you, Nope! He is God. The one and Only and He deserves all praise.

Remember that as you worship, God gives you what you need and not the other way around. 

Because God sees true worship, and it has to come from a sincere heart. And as you do that, God will reply that love with His own.

Worship is everything we do at all times, everything matters.

P.S. Almost all images of worship have people lifting their hands or voice or closing their eyes. Have you ever experienced doing that during service? If you don't believe, google 'worship' and view images. 

Why not try, and maybe experience something super amazing this Sunday?

Happy Holidays!!
