Worshiping God is something we will be doing for eternity and so we must get good at it. In fact, everything we do in our lives is an act of worship. At Boloco church we have started a new series of studies on "The Way of A Worshiper". The key Bible verse is Romans 12:1-2. We are using material from Rick Warren's church in the USA and there are 4 sessions on DVD with Buddy Owens. We had the first of these on Sunday 16th and there were a few key messages from Buddy:
- "The way of a worshiper is a way of life. It is about discovering the secret to friendship with God. It is not so much about doing something but about being someone - not just doing worship but being a worshiper."
- "The discovery of God's worth to us starts with the discovery of what we are worth to God."
- "Our heavenly Father loves us not because of what we can do for Him, but because of who we are - His sons and daughters, in whom He takes great delight. And He rejoices over us with singing." (Zephaniah 3:17)
As a group, we considered some key questions that are worthwhile thinking about:
- Buddy said "You can tell what a person worships by the way he lives his life." If someone were to look at your life, what would he/she think you worship?
- What are some practical ways you can worship God by the way you live your life?
