• When We Don’t Worship God– Romans 1:18-25
• When We DO Worship God– Matthew 6:28-34– Worship as the answer to our problems?
• Idolatry takes the focus off God (problems ensue), Worship put’s it back on God (order is restored)!
• God Seeks Worshipers» John 4:23 - The only place in scripture where
it states God ‘seeks’ something from US’!

How To Worship• With all your Heart, Mind, & Soul
– Heart• Matthew 15:8-10
– “‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.
• God does not just want us going through the motions...but engaging our hearts!

• Mind & Soul– Emotions and Passion are great...but without
engaging our minds the benefit is short-lived.• Pray and really pay attention!• Sing and think on the words!
– 1 Corinthians 14:15So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding.
