Authentic Worship

March 26, 2023 • Gregg Parris • Psalm 100, Psalm 16:11

Give

Psalm 100

Worship defined: Worship in truth and spirit is experiencing/encountering God.

I. Serve God (with praise & adoration)

Worship is seeing what God is worth and giving him what he’s worth.

Tim Keller

I’ve experienced God’s presence most powerfully in worship, often during the singing, I suppose because when we sing to him, we are looking hard in his direction.

J.I. Packer

Christian worship is the most momentous, the most urgent, the most glorious action that can take place in human life.

Karl Barth

The world can be saved by one thing and that is worship. For to worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to feed the mind with the truth of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God, to open the heart to the love of God, to devote the will to the purpose of God.

Archbishop William Temple

II. Serve people (with His sufficiency)

In His presence is fullness of joy.

Psalm 16:11

The Music of Heaven

March 19, 2023 • Gregg Parris • Mark 2:21–22, 1 Corinthians 1:28–29

Mark 2:21-22 “God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.” St. Augustine I. Revival is God-breathed not program planned. II. You really cannot stop something that you didn’t start. God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. I Corinthians 1:28-29
