Many times we get caught up in the style or place of worship. Dr. Merritt tells us that God is not concerned with where, when or even the way you worship. What concerns God is the substance of your worship. In other words - what is in your heart when you worship?
Part II: God and Your Bod
The word "worship" usually brings to mind church, sermons, stained glass and hymns. How about these words: eyes, ears, mouth, hands, legs and feet? Do you ever associated them with worship? Worship is not just spiritual. It's physical. It involves your whole body. The Bible tells us that our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. That means God lives in us. Therefore, our bodies are to be wired for worship in everything we do.
Part III: Just the Two of Us
When you think about it, the only way you can really get to know someone is by spending time with them. You have to share the good times - when life is just plain 'ol fun. You have to share the bad times - when you feel like your world could end at any moment. When you spend time with someone, you learn to trust them and rely on them. God, wants to spend time with you. Even though you can't see Him, you can spend time in prayer - letting His Spirit speak to your soul. When you spend daily time with God, you learn that He loves you so much, He not only can, but wants to take care of every care and worry that comes into your life!
Part IV: Worship Rocks
Worshiping God doesn't have to be boring. God is exciting and our worship of Him should be too! This sermon tells us that we should be enthusiastic, thankful, excited, and energized when we worship. Our God is the God of life and our worship of Him should be a celebration of the great things He has done!
