The document discusses the concept of worship. Some key points made include: 1) True worship is giving worth and value to God with our whole lives centered around Him, not ourselves. It involves an experiential relationship with God in both spirit and truth. 2) Idolatry is at the root of all sin, as we were created to worship and will worship something. If not God, we will worship other things that can lead to our ruin. 3) Jesus demonstrated true worship is found in Him as the image of God, and that we should worship in response to witnessing who He is and what He has done, not for personal gain or experiences. Our goal should be to reflect

3. Worship is not about music.
It’s something that you give
value to.

4. It is an expression of worth
that’s why it is worthship.

5. We must live our lives at
Jesus’ center stage rather than
us constantly grabbing center
stage for ourselves and thinking
that story is all about us.

6. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask
of God, who gives to all liberally and
without reproach, and it will be given to
him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no
doubting, for he who doubts is like a
wave of the sea driven and tossed by
the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose
that he will receive anything from the
Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man,
unstable in all his ways.
JAMES 1:5-8 (NKJV)

7. Wisdom is the ability to
recognize true worship.

8. The fruit of wisdom is maturity.
Maturity is when you are wise
enough to differentiate what is
right or wrong.

9. Maturity attracts true worship.

10. 14 Then we will no longer be infants,
tossed back and forth by the waves, and
blown here and there by every wind of
teaching and by the cunning and crafti-
ness of people in their deceitful
scheming.
EPHESIANS 4:14

11. When we are mature because
of wisdom, we are not like
children.

12. Healing precedes worship.

13. Everything we learn
comes from worship.

14. Everything God does
is motivated by love.

16. “Worship is the continuous
outpouring “of all that I am,
all that I do, “and all that I
can ever become in light of
a chosen or choosing God.”
– Harold Best,
“Unceasing Worship”

17. Worship means priority, value,
worth. When we give priority,
we give worship.

18. “We reflect what we revere to
our own ruin or redemption…”

19. We reflect what we would
worship to our own ruin or
to our own redemption.

20. If we revere anything other
than God, the end product,
the end game is ruin.

21. It is only God who can give us a
redemptive encounter, a life in
which is bigger than ourselves.

22. 8 “Those who cling to worthless idols turn
away from God’s love for them.”
JONAH 2:8

23. 7 All who worship images are put to
shame, those who boast in idols—
worship him, all you gods!
PSALM 97:7

24. 8 You have let go of the commands of
God and are holding on to human tradi-
tions.” 9 And he continued, “You have a
fine way of setting aside the commands
of God in order to observe your own
traditions!
MARK 7:8-9

25. The religious leader have
a subtle shift from somehow
thinking that they are obeying
God as they are obeying the
Scripture.

26. Do you worship what He said
or who He is?

27. Worship is more than religion.

28. When they started obeying the
Scripture rather than the God of
Scripture, the Scripture started
to be what they thought can give
them life. They trusted their
obedience rather than God.

29. Are we turning our worship
to relationship or to religion?

30. They thought they didn’t
need grace because they
have performance.

31. They started to make this an
idol where in essence it is a gift.

32. Every single gift that God gave;
the people in the Scripture turn
it into an idol.

33. God has made us with a
worship gear, and He turned it
‘ON’ when we were born and
there is no ‘OFF’ switch. We
are worshipper all the time.

34. WORSHIP is what we were
made to do. That’s why we
always do. The only difference
is who or what we worship,
when or how we worship. We
are designed and created to
be a worshipper.

35. When you don’t worship God,
we are worshipping something
or someone else.

36. When we objectify God and
learn about Him, He looks very
different when we worship Him.

37. When we simply know His
characteristics and attributes
and just memorize it, you started
to move out of relationship and
into something lesser.
(Tradition or Religion)

38. “The opposite of Christianity
is not atheism, but idolatry.”
– Peter Kreeft

39. Idols lie and promise something
that only God can deliver.

40. Idolatry is all
counterfeit worship.

41. Counterfeit are love, money,
success etc.

43. Who we worship and
how we worship are
both significant.

44. It’s not enough just to have the
right God, you need to worship
the right God in the right way,
otherwise you can have Jesus
as your God and be living as a
pagan and committing idolatry
and living in the slavery of sin.

45. 1 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before Him with joyful songs.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is He who made us, and we are
His; we are His people, the sheep
of His pasture.
4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving
and His courts with praise;
give thanks to Him and praise His
Name.
PSALM 100:1-5 (NIV)

46. 5 For the Lord is good and his love
endures forever;
His faithfulness continues through
all generations.
PSALM 100:1-5 (NIV)

48. Is responding to what He
gives
1

49. Is acknowledging who He is
2

50. means to bow low,
or to kiss

51. 4 Now He had to go through Samaria.
5 So He came to a town in Samaria
called Sychar, near the plot of ground
Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6
Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired
as He was from the journey, sat down by
the well. It was about noon. 7 When a
Samaritan woman came to draw
water,…
JOHN 4:4-7,16-26

52. 16 He told her, “Go, call your husband
and come back.” 17 “I have no husband,”
she replied. Jesus said to her, “You are
right when you say you have no hus-
band. 18 The fact is, you have had five
husbands, and the man you now have is
not your husband. What you have just
said is quite true.” 19 “Sir,” the woman
said, “I can see that You are a prophet.
JOHN 4:4-7,16-26

53. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this
mountain, but you Jews claim that the
place where we must worship is in
Jerusalem.” 21 “Woman,” Jesus replied,
“believe Me, a time is coming when you
will worship the Father neither on this
mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You
Samaritans worship what you do not
know; we worship what we do know, for
salvation is from the Jews.
JOHN 4:4-7,16-26

54. 23 Yet a time is coming and has now
come when the true worshipers will wor-
ship the Father in the Spirit and in truth,
for they are the kind of worshipers the
Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and His
worshipers must worship in the Spirit
and in truth.” 25 The woman said, “I know
that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming.
When He comes, He will explain
everything to us.” 26 Then Jesus
declared, “I, the One speaking to you—I
am He.”
JOHN 4:4-7,16-26

56. Idolatry is spiritual and
Adultery is physical.

57. The root of her problem is
not adultery but it is idolatry.

58. The root of all sin is idolatry.

59. Whoever you worship,
you become.

60. The Father is looking for those
who will worship in Spirit and in
Truth.

61. There is an experiential
side to knowing God.

62. A good worship experience is
not whether you like it, nor a
buzz experience or accurate
explanation, it’s the Spirit and
Truth that bring a whole person
to a whole God, and the two of
them become one in something
called worship.

63. In order to call for the Spirit
and Truth, it calls us to go to
a place called ‘TRUST’.

64. Trust is expression of worship.
Trust is a result of worship

65. 9 All you Israelites, trust in the Lord—
He is their help and shield.
PSALM 115:9 (NIV)

66. Jesus is telling to the woman,
you cannot just go to the
mountain to have experiences
and cannot go to the temple to
have truth, it’s Spirit and Truth
come together around the
person of God and He makes
it alive that makes worship
happen.

67. It’s a truth based on experience
at the person of God that
makes up worship.

68. 17 And I pray that you, being rooted and
established in love, 18 may have power,
together with all the Lord’s holy people,
to grasp how wide and long and high
and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to
know this love that surpasses
knowledge—that you may be filled to the
measure of all the fullness of God.
EPHESIANS 3:17-19

69. Worship chooses the best
and love is the best.

70. Knowing something that
surpasses knowledge means
you are living and experiencing
it.

71. We don’t have to memorize
what is God like when we are
experiencing Him.

72. Worship is reflecting the
goodness and the glory of
the God of the Bible.

73. “Don’t get an image to worship,
be the image that worships.”

75. 25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to
them, walking on the lake. 26 When the
disciples saw him walking on the lake,
they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they
said, and cried out in fear. 27 But Jesus
immediately said to them: “Take cour-
age! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” 28 “Lord, if
it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come
to you on the water.” 29 “Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat,
walked on the water and came toward
Jesus.
MATTHEW 14:25-33

76. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was
afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out,
“Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus
reached out his hand and caught him.
“You of little faith,” he said, “why did you
doubt?” 32 And when they climbed in-to
the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then
those who were in the boat worshiped
him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of
God.”
MATTHEW 14:25-33

77. We have a tendency to
make Jesus our script as a
supporting cast member so
we become the hero.
“Let me walk on the water”.

78. The right response of seeing
Jesus walk on the water is to
worship him, but it only came
after Peter ask Jesus to let him
walk on water and upon sinking
being delivered to the boat.

79. 14 I will ascend above the tops of the
clouds; I will make myself like the Most
High.”
ISAIAH 14:14

80. Satan saying “I don’t want to
serve God, I want to be God.”

81. 5 “For God knows that when you eat
from it your eyes will be opened, and
you will be like God, knowing good and
evil.”
GENESIS 3:5

82. The number one thug of our
hearts is we don’t want to be
like the God we serve but we
rather want God to serve us so
we could be in sense be God
ourselves.

84. 15 The Son is the image of the invisible
God, the firstborn over all creation.
COLOSSIANS 1:15

85. We do not worship an image,
but rather Jesus, who is the
image of God.

86. Ten Commandments says
“Don’t make an image.” “You
are the image of God, and the
image of God is perfectly
reflected in Jesus.”

87. 9 “…Anyone who has seen me has seen
the Father”
JOHN 14:9

88. Jesus is the radiance
of the Father’s glory.

89. GLORY in Greek doxa means
"brightness, splendor,
magnificence, majesty,”

90. 14…We have seen his glory, the glory of
the one and only Son, who came from
the Father, full of grace and truth.
JOHN 1:14

91. 1 My brethren, do not hold the faith of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with
partiality.
JAMES 2:1

92. TELESCOPE
=
Seeing the Glory of God

93. God is bigger than you can
ever declare, bigger than you
can ever experience, bigger
than anyone that will ever see
through your life and yet we are
able to amplify Him to others
through our worship in order for
them to see Him of what He is.

94. God is transforming us in our
worship, not making Him any
bigger but enabling us to see
clearly for who He already is.

95. FUNCTIONAL WORSHIP
is worshiping whoever giving
you value.

96. • Who or what do you submit
to and who or what or where
do you serve?
• Where does your time go?
• Where does your money go?
• Where does your heart go?
• What rules and authority in
your life?
And if it’s you,
you worship yourself.

97. We can magnify the following:
1. Our Titles
2. The things that creep into
our lives that take the God-
spot, that take the focus from
Him
3. Things that is indulgent, very
ornate and very convenient for
us, amplifying ourselves or
something else and living
lesser lives.
4. Human Traditions

98. Idols lie. They promise things
that only God can deliver and
they do so to enslave us, and
that’s why the worship of God
is so important because that
alone free us.

100. (traditions, thoughts,
degrees etc.)
1

101. (creation, beauty, health,
relationship, sexual
activity etc.)
2

102. (pride, lust, greed, etc.)
3

103. An idol lives in our heart
before it escapes into our lives.

104. “That to which your heart
clings and entrusts itself is,
I say, really your god.”
– Martin Luther

105. An idol is a good thing that
becomes a god thing, which
makes it a bad thing.

106. An idol is anyone or anything
that replaces Jesus at the
center of your life. An idol is
any created thing that takes
the Creator’s place in your life.

107. What you idolize,
you demonize.

109. Make Jesus the object
and heart of your worship.

110. Worshipping Jesus sets us free
from the idols and sin and it
liberates us to live the life that
God intends for us, the one of
true freedom.
