The Gift of Worship

Worship is a huge thing
We look forward to worship every week

When the music includes one of our favorites,
we say, " The worship was great !"

When the music stinks, we yawn and wonder why
the worship wasn't very good.

We leave churches because of the "Worship Style"

Worship is a huge thing.

Have you ever wondered if
we're more concerned with what worship does
FOR us

and less concerned with
the OBJECT of our worship

It seems like it's more about what we GET
not what we GIVE

It would be like taking a gift
to a friend's birthday party,
but keeping it for ourselves.

Worship i snot about convincing God
to bless us

Worship is not about entertainment,
lighting, or sound.

It's not about us, it's about Him
And we enter through the gateway of the cross

AT the cross, we surrender, love, cry, dream,
give up, shut up, kneel, confess

We look at God and place Him above all else
because He is worth it

Life gets crazy and painful
No one can deny that
JOB STRESS
DIVORCE
DEATH
ADDICTIONS
PARENTING
LONELINESS

No one is asking you to pretend that
those things aren't affecting you

DON'T PRETENT

You're just being invited to
bring that stuff to the cross,
and to simply gaze at Jesus.

And as you look at Him,
allow your response to be worship
