Worshipping God

Lesson 1: Introduction – IMPORTANCE OF WORSHIP
Bible Story: THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT
We can worship God anywhere, could be at home, at school and obviously at church. We should not be ashamed to praise and worship God for He is pleased when we lift up His name. We are created to honor and obey Him.

Lesson 2a: The ONE we Worship
Bible Story: SAMARITAN WOMAN AT THE WELL
This means we worship from the heart and the way God has designed. WORSHIP can include PRAYING, READING God’s Word with an open heart, SINGING, etc. It is not limited to one act, but is done properly when the heart and attitude of the person are in the right place.

Lesson 2b: The One we Worship
Bible Story: THE PHARISEES & THE CANAANITE WOMAN
If you really have faith in God (Father, Son, & Spirit), His power and authority over you, His works (blessings and grace) upon your lives, His unconditional love and mercy, and many more, you won’t have any issue or problem on exercising your faith though worshipping Him for sincere worship pleases Him.

Lesson 2c: The ONE we Worship
Bible Story: THOMAS & THE DAY OF PENTECOST
The best combination of both aspects of worship results in a joyous appreciation of God informed by Scripture. The more we know about God, the more we appreciate Him. The more we appreciate, the deeper our worship. The deeper our worship, the more God is glorified.

Lesson 3a: The Forbidden Worship
Bible Story: ISRAELITES & THE GOLDEN CALF
Disobedience to God’s commandments is a sin. As with any other sin, the punishment is death, and the only proper response is repentance just as how Moses intercedes for the Israelites’ sin of idolatry

Lesson 3b: The Forbidden Worship
Bible Story: ISRAELITES & THE HEAVENLY BODIES
We worship God alone in spirit and in truth so our worship to God should not be physical, but spiritual. Worshipping God’s creation is not spiritual for such possess physical form making it a physical worship.

Lesson 3c: The Forbidden Worship
Bible Story: SIMON, THE SORCERER AND JOHN, THE APOSTLE
People lose interest to worship God for God is spirit and not visible. So Christians should be careful on their interests, hobbies, priorities, and people they admire about for these may consume their hearts, hearts that should be of worshipping God and God alone.

Lesson 4a: WORSHIP – Individual and Corporate
Bible Story: FELLOWSHIP OF THE BELIEVERS (CHURCH)
One cannot grow spiritually if corporate worship is neglected. To participate in such shows our love and obedience to God in public provided that one has no wrong motives. That is why true worship is shown in assemblies.

Lesson 4b: WORSHIP – Individual and Corporate
Bible Story: JESUS AND THE HYPOCRITES
There are times you worship God just for compliance to His word or what the teacher has said but not sincere with your heart. Though you participate in corporate worship but during private times or times when you are alone or outside church, worshipping God has been neglected.

Lesson 5: Worship in 4 ACTS
Bible Story: ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD
Worshipping God does not mean only praising and singing songs to Him. It does not only mean adoration in prayer. It does not only relates to praise and worship service. It does not only mean lifting up His name by the words we say.
