Why Pay Attention to Worship?

Psalm 95:6- 7 -- Come, let us worship and bow down, Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. For He is our God, And we are the the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand. 

Four Reasons for Worship:

1. Worship is a natural reflection of the transformed life (Romans 12:1-2)

2. Worship is aimed at brining glory to God (Psalm 29:2; Revelation 14:7)

3. Worship is an emotional response (Isaiah 6:1-5; Psalm 8:3-9; Psalm 100).

4. Worship inspires the worshiper (Hebrews 10:24-25).

Four Responses to Worship:

1. A sense of God's presence (Isaiah 6:1-4).

2. The conviction of our sinfulness (Isaiah 6:5).

3. A joyful reminder of God's grace (Isaiah 6:6-7; 1 John 1:7).

4. The inspiration to serve (Isaiah 6:8).
