2. The secret to freedom from enslaving patterns of sin is worship
The secret to freedom from enslaving patterns of sin is worship. You need worship. You need great worship. You need weeping worship. You need glorious worship. You need to sense God’s greatness and to be moved by it – moved to tears and moved to laughter – moved by who God is and what He has done for you.
Tim Keller

26. Lessons For Today The unsaved world watches us as we worship
And when we don’t

27. Lessons For Today The unsaved world watches us as we worship

This is about how we turn to God in all circumstances
The Good – the bad
The highs – the lows

Be genuine in your concern for others
Satan will always try to interfere
It is most effective when it is an extension of our own personal worship
Out of our excess let the worship overflow.
If you do not practice personal worship, your public/corporate worship will be lacking/stilted/unconvincing
Maybe even fake or insincere.
It is not contrived or twisted to accomplish a man-made goal

31. Lessons For Today
God cares more about evangelism more than we ever could.
God will prepare the way. As we stated at the beginning, God loves people and wants them to know Him. He will not make it more difficult for you.
