ATTITUDES OF A HEALTHY AND AUTHENTIC WORSHIPPER
Welcome:
What has been your memorable worship time thus far and why?
Worship:
Try choosing songs, or activity or prayers that focus on Jesus, praising/worshipping Him for who He is and what He has done. Do not ask for anything or pray for anyone (until witness section). Focus on Jesus alone.
Word:
1. Discuss what it means to worship God in spirit and in truth.
Where does the mind come into worship?
Where do emotions come into it?
Where does our body come into it?
2. Definition of Praise: being preoccupied with who God is and what he has done by:
a): honouring him, exalting/praising/extolling him directly – “You are great/awesome Oh God because….” Or
b): indirectly by magnifying/commending him to others –ultimately by glorifying him before others – “look at what God has done – isn’t he great/awesome? Praise him with me!” – Praise: is to be tangibly visible in our lives – to be noticed by others.
Agree/disagree with definition? Discuss how one does that practically.
3. With an eye on attitude list:
1: It is our duty as a redeemed people of God to worship God
2: It not about us – it’s all about God
3: It is a choice to worship God.
What do you feel/think needs to be addressed/modified/changed/added to make your own worship lifestyle better?
Witness:
1. Pray for a (re)new(ed), passionate heart for the Lord/each other/lost
2. Pray for greater Christ-like authenticity in relationships.
3.Pray that we would all want to (re)consecrate ourselves & cell to fulfil His purpose for our lives / cell..
