1. Text; Ecclesiastes 5;1
• Walk prudently (carefully) when
you go to the house of God; and
drew near to hear rather than to
give the sacrifice of fools, for
they do not know what they do
evil.

2. Theme;
Worship God in
His house

3. What are the reasons why we come to
church Sunday after Sunday?
• TO SPARE TIME FOR GOD FOR WORSHIP.
• “Time is your most precious gift,, You can make more
money, but you can't make more time. When you give
someone your time, you are giving them a portion of
your life that you'll never get back.
― Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth
Am I Here for?

4. Sunday after Sunday, I give the portion of
my life to each one by giving you my time.
And thank God, because you give the
portion of your life to me as well, by
giving me your time, your life encourage
me to pursue and continue in the
ministry…. And most of all, to our God, by
giving our time to Him.
Say to your seatmate, thank you for
giving me your time, your life is a
blessings to me.

5. • PROPER MANAGEMENT OF OUR TIME IS
NEEDED AS FAR AS QUALITY WORSHIP TO
GOD IS CONCERN.
• TIME ON OUR BUSINESS
• TIME ON OUR SPOUSE
• TIME ON RECREATION
• TIME ON CHURCH ACTIVITIES.
• God is busy, yet he make sure that he has a
time for you!

6. Story of a seeker Christian
• There was a member of a big church left the
church, he has full of bad comments. The local
pastor was worried and visit him. The pastor
said, ‘’what are the reasons why you leave on our
church?
• This member in a hurry without thinking said,
• I am discourage on the singers, they sings more
than an hour.
• The members came late Sunday after sunday.
• The arrangement or decoration is not good.
• The members after service was not
transform, Sunday they are holy, yet another
days, they were more wicked than the unbelievers.

7. • Your message pastor is boring.
• I want that the church will,,,,,…..
• I want that the message is,,,…….
• Then the pastor replied, ‘’then what will you do
now?
• Well I will set here do nothing and please pastor
don’t visit me again.
• The pastor, went home un happy! After one
week this member died and the pastor was
requested to handle the funeral service.

8. • What lessons we have learn from this story?
• A; make the best you could to be a blessings to
others.
• As a music team!
• As an officers!
• As a members!
• B; but be aware that we can’t please everyone.
Even though how good we are. But do not loose
hope, God is happy when we do our best to
please Him rather than to please anyone.

9. • My goal today, is to give you a
biblical tips from the writing of
the wise king in the human
history which is king Solomon, of
what to do to give God the best
worship and to be a blessings to
our fellow believers!

10. I. Guard your steps
•V 1 "Guard your steps
when you go to the house
of God"

11.  Whatever steps we make, it can
affect our entire life, either good
or bad.
 God make His best so that, the
results of our steps is good.
 He does it, through a warning.
(guard your steps)

12. Illustration
• There was a story told me, one of my Ninong about
the life of a priest. One day this priest went to town.
When he reached at the town he ordered a whisky.
He drink that whisky and got drunk. This priest went
back days after days to that town. One day, one of
the church goers saw him drinking a whisky. This
church goer go closer to the priest and said, ‘’father
is it biblically allowed that the priest will drink a
whisky? The priest was astonished not expecting
that some one will question him. This priest look on
that man and said ‘’come sit beside me son, before I
leave my home I made 15 rosary, asking forgiveness
of what I will do today. When I go home after this,..
he continued, ‘’I will add another 15 rosary for you.

13. • what do you think the mistake of that priest?
• A; defend his self even though he knew that
his action is sin.
• B; he is not aware of his action. He is not
concern with others.
• Today, everyone is encourage that we should
guard our steps.

14. The priest steps
• Was pass to the church goer.
• It creates a bad influence.
• I believe that it will pass to another and
creates a bad influence not only to one person
but to many.
• Again God is reminding us today, ‘’guard your
steps’’.

15. II; Go to the house of
God
•V 1 "Guard your steps
when you go to the
house of God"

16. Lessons
• A; GOD IS CONCERN WHERE WE SPENT OUR
SABBATH DAY.
• On the time of Christ church were always full.
Church is crowded everyday. People came to
church not to worship God, instead to do
business. Majority of this people choose
money more than the message of Christ.
Jesus got angry and drove the tables of the
sellers inside the church.

17. Let us Compare our worship
to an angels
Man
• Ones a week
• Few (counted)
• Un prepared sometimes
• Half day (4 hours
maximum)
Angels
• Everyday
• Legions (countless)
• Quality (practice many
times)
• Whole day
Yet God longs for your worship!

18. III; Drew near
• Walk prudently (care fully)
when you go to the house of
God; and drew near to hear
rather than to give the
sacrifice of fools, for they do
not know what they do evil.

19.  In the airplane, the flight attendants give an
instructions before the plane takes flights.
 explaining, how to use the seat belt.
 where the exits are.
 how to use the suit as a flotation device,
 how to put on the oxygen mask if needed.
 Yet most of the people on the plane are
talking, reading, looking out the window, getting
stuff out of their carry-on luggage.

20.  The New Living Translation says, "As you enter
the house of God, keep your ears open and your
mouth shut"
Think about it:
When we come to worship, we have come to
meet with God.
When we come to worship, we have come to
listen on God for instruction.
• We can do this, by letting our ears open and
close our mouth

21. Illustration
• I once saw a church sign that advertised one
of its worship services with a statement that
read: "Casual Worship 9:30 AM.
• " I know that they were trying to
communicate that their worship service was
casual dress and informal.

22. • FOR ME, THE WORD ‘’DRAW NEAR’’ HAS
TWO MEANING!
• A; literally- God encourage us to sit on the
chairs that we are comfortable. We are
Baptist not backtist.
• B; spiritually- God encourage us to make
sure that our heart is ready and away from
any destruction and worries when we
come to worship him.

23. Conclusion
• Worship is not an endurance contest, but a
marvelous adventure into the presence of the
God of the universe. It is not business as
usual, but a wonder-filled ride into a new
dimension of life. It is not a mundane trip, but
a memorable flight. And on that journey our
reaction will not be simply, "nice service" or
"nice trip," but rather in the words of a child
who has flown for the first time, "Awesome."
