WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT WORSHIP

What’s the Big Deal about Worship

Psalm 95, 100 ,145

Worship is a response of , , and to the Greatness of our God

I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever. Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. Psalm 145:1-3

Why We Worship

1. The Greatness of our God

For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Psalm 95:3-5

Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.  God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” John 4:23-24

1. The Greatness of our God has

for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.

Psalm 95:7
