•What is worship?

•Worship is an expression of love and adoration.

•

•It is possible to admire someone and appreciate what they do without being in love with them.

•

•In the same way, worship has to do with our love for the Lord.

•

•Those who worship me must worship in Spirit and Truth.

•John 4:23

•23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

•John 4:24

•God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

•What is worshipping in Truth?

• Many elements of worship in the OT were simply a shadow or figure of that to come a. The Tabernacle was a symbol - Heb 9:8-9 b. The Law with its worship was only a shadow of that to come - Heb 10:1 2. Christ is now in the true tabernacle (heaven)- Heb 9:11-12,24 a. We should expect the worship of the true to be different from that of the shadow b. We have already seen that to be the case: 1) Old Covenant worship, which was but a shadow, was physical in nature 2) New Covenant worship is according to the true realities (God is Spirit, Christ in heaven) and is therefore more spiritual in nature -- The emphasis is on that which is true (real), not which was a shadowy symbol of things to come

qStanding (Psalm 134:1)

qKneeling or bowing (Psalm 95:6)

qDancing and leaping for joy. ( Psalm 30 :11)

 God expects the body of Christ to come often to praise Him.

Praise is the power of heaven.

The powers of darkness is broken as we praise and glorify Him.

If the whole Church can come together every service to praise Him the bible tells me God will command a blessing to the Church.

You will see miracle and signs and wonders in this Church.

Come for all the meetings.

You will make a different for  you and the whole Church..
