3rd September 2017 - WORSHIP WHEN IT DOESN'T ALWAYS MAKE SENSE

“Therefore I urge you, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies, as living sacrifices, wholly and pleasing to God.  This is your spiritual act of worship.”  Romans 12:1
 
Worship isn’t limited to singing.  Worship isn’t limited to the time we’re in church each week.  How we live our lives is an act of worship.  When It comes to our worship, the question isn’t “how was church” (the music, the message, the people or the parking), but “how was my worship” (did something come alive in me, that makes me want to know God in a more intimate way?)
 
We can enhance our “spiritual act of worship” as we focus less on ourselves (quieten ourselves, look to God’s word and the Spirit’s nourishment in our lives) and prioritise God (rejoice and marvel at the things of God).
