Pulpit Report -- May 17, 2009 -- Worship: Embracing the Spirit's Desire

Part 11 -- Discipline: the Path of the Disciple

John 4:23 embraces a twofold concept that defines true worship
1. Worship in Spirit
2. Worship in Truth

In all this is the object of our worship -- the Father God.

The true worshiper focuses on the object of worship with these two factors

In Spirit the worshiper seeks to know the voice of God in power of His Spirit to live with the character of God. it is an issue of relationship with God through the Holy Spirit.

In truth, the true worshiper accepts who God is and does not make him into something he is not. He accepts the reality of God as described in the word and does his best to both fear God and obey him.

Worship is best done in corporate setting. The one Scripture says where two or three are gathered together not where one is alone. It is the power of corporate worship that matters -- style of service is not at issue. All types of worship can have these qualities.

Where are you in your worship?
