Worship #6

Today I will wrap up the series on worship. I want to share with you a thought first about my weekend. On Saturday I went to Mayfield, Ky to watch a concert by Nicole C Mullins. For those of you who don't know her, she is a Christian singer who has wrote some amazing songs. Check out "Redeemer" on you tube for an example. I have been to many Christian concerts over the years but this one was unbelievable! What a witness for Jesus this young lady has. I have seen artists give altar calls before but Nicole took time to go and pray with each person who came to the altar! She is the real deal! She also shared that she has two youth mentoring groups at home....one for believers and one for non-believers. Guys it takes alot to impress me...but she did. And her music..wow....will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck! Worship was awesome as it always is! Anyway I had to share that...if you ever get a chance to see her...DO IT!



Now on to today's lesson. How can we keep worship going all the time? We all get in ruts don't we? I want to give you three suggestions that will help you keep the worship in your life.



1. A close family! We are to exalt the name of Jesus in worship together. Brothers and sisters in Christ as the church are there for one another. To build each other up, to bear each others burdens, and to hold each other accountable to their faith. Church is a must for every believer, our faith live was not designed by God according to the Bible to do alone! I love church and love my brothers and sisters in Christ, can't wait to get there again when the doors are open!



Psalm 34:1-3





34 I will bless the Lord at all times;

His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 My soul shall make its boast in the Lord;

The humble shall hear of it and be glad.

3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,

And let us exalt His name together.



2. Be ready to be spontaneous!



In life we never know what is coming next....so be ready for anything that may come your way! Always remember God is in control not you!



Colossians 1:15-17



15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.



God is not confusion. All things were created by Him and for Him....so let us give Him glory in all situations. Let us be ready for anything, and worship God in the good and the bad!



3. Know whats about to happen.



JESUS IS COMING AGAIN! This alone should help us remain in an attitude of worship to know our King is coming soon!



Revelation 21:1-4



21 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. 2 Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”



As the old song says "what a day that will be"!!! This is our hope everyday, this is the reason we worship with all that we have!



Have a great day...and give Jesus some love today!
