In the New Testament Church

The God Who Deserves Your Worship  God is deserving of every bit of honor, glory and praise that we could possibly give Him. (Revelation 4:11; 5:13)  We have a natural impulse to honor royalty. (Matthew 2:2; 1 Kings 10)  Our challenge is to “Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name.” (Psalm 29:2; 96:4-9)  Let us be obsessed with glorifying God! (Ephesians 1:12)

Compliance Shows Respect & Love  “God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints…” (Psalm 89:7)  It is important to listen to what God wants before we worship Him (Ecclesiastes 5:1)  Some worship is not acceptable to God:  Worship in ignorance (Acts 17:23-31)  Man-made worship (Matthew 15:8-9)  Self-imposed worship (Colossians 2:23)  Self-righteous worship (Luke 18:9-14; Isa. 65:1-5)

Compliance Shows Respect & Love God wants us to worship in spirit and in truth! “…the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” (John 4:23-24)

Worship in the Body of Christ  Worship involves showing adoration.  One word translated worship (proskuneo) literally means “to kiss toward” or “bow in homage”  Another word sometimes translated worship (latreuo) primarily means “service.”  There is a difference between the service a Christian offers God daily and the worship God has prescribed for the assembly church.  NOTE: The term “corporate worship” refers to worship by the assembly, group, or body.

Components of Corporate Worship  YOU! There can be no worship without worshipers! (Hebrews 10:25)  The worship God has prescribed in the assembly of the church involves the following: – Taking the Lord’s supper (Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 10:16-17; 11:18-33) – Singing (1 Corinthians 14:15) – Praying (1 Corinthians 14:15, 26; Acts 4:31) – Preaching/hearing God’s word (Acts 20:7) – Giving (1 Cor. 16:1-2; 2 Cor. 8:1-5; Malachi 3:8)

Keys to Wonderful Worship Orderliness leads to edification  God expects our worship to be carried out “decently and in order” (1 Corinthians 14:33, 40).  “Decently” is translated from a Greek word (euschēmonōs) that literally means “a good scheme.”  “Order” is translated from a word (taxis) which means “an arranging, arrangement…a fixed succession observing a fixed time…” (Thayer).  Engaging in multiple items of worship simultaneously or incomprehensible worship doesn’t honor God or edify fellow worshipers (1 Corinthians 14:16-31).

Keys to Wonderful Worship Don’t Try to Improve on God’s Plan  We cannot improve worship by improving on God’s plan (Matthew 15:8-9).  God-prescribed rituals must be followed! (2 Kings 17:26).  But God-prescribed rituals can turn into ritualism (Isaiah 1:10-20; Matthew 6:7).

Keys to Wonderful Worship Try to improve the worshiper – YOU!  Get yourself right with God. (Isaiah 1:13; Psalm 51:7-17)  Yearn to worship. (Psalm 122:1; 42:1-2)  Participate wholeheartedly (Psalm 86:12; 1 Corinthians 14:15; Colossians 3:16)
