2. Worship God
Prepared by Chris Reeves * 31-W church of Christ Gospel Meeting * July 24, 2016

3. Worship Reminders
Some of the best Bible admonitions are the shortest admonitions (Jn. 14:1; 1 Thess. 5:17)
John was a faithful Christian, but he needed a worship reminder: “Worship God” (Rev. 19:10; 22:8-9; compare Acts 10:25-26)
Who needs this reminder today?

4. The Non-Worshiper
A large percentage of the world’s population are unbelievers: secularist, atheist, agnostic, non-religious (14% in 2012)
He worships creation (including self) and it leads to gross immorality (Psa. 14:1-4; Rom. 1:18-32)

5. The Ignorant Worshiper
Many world religions are idolatrous and ignorant of the one, true God (4,200 major religions in the world)
He worships a false god that is made in his own image and it leads to gross immorality (Ex. 32:6-8; Num. 25:1ff; 2 K. 17:16-17; Isa. 44:12-17; Ezek. 8:16; Zeph. 1:5; Acts 17:23; 19:27; Rev. 9:20)

6. The Satan Worshiper
Various Satanic groups hold devilish beliefs (50 – 100,000 followers in the U.S.)
He worships Satan and leads it to gross immorality (Mt. 4:9-10; Lk. 4:7; Jas. 3:15-16; Rev. 13:4, 8, 12, 15; 14:9, 11; 16:2; 19:20; 20:4; see 17:3-6; 18:2-3, 9, 23-24)

7. The Vain / Will Worshiper
Thousands of religions and denominations exist (1,600 groups in 1900 up to 43,000 in 2012; estimated to be 55,000 by 2025)
He worships his mistaken, man-made tradition, or his own will, and it leads to religious division (Mt. 15:8-9; Mk. 7:7; Jn. 4:21-22; Col. 3:18-23; Phil. 3:3)

8. The Mocking Worshiper Many mock the whole idea of worship
He worships in a mocking way which leads to pride and a hardened attitude to all that is sacred and divine (Mk. 15:19)

9. The Weary-Worshiper
Some Christians are weary and weak in their worship which leads to spiritual anemia (Mal. 1:13; 1 Cor. 11:30)
Some disrupt worship (Psa. 95:6; 96:9)
Some corrupt worship (Col. 2:18-23)
Some forsake worship (Heb. 10:25)

10. Worship God
We need this reminder! God is looking for the true worshiper (Jn. 4:23-24)
We need to tell others: Worship God (Rev. 14:6-7)
