Acts 2:43

We worship to honor God and remind ourselves that we live in His   PRESENCE  .

Ps. 95:6, 7; 1 Cor 11:26

We worship to   EXALT   Jesus Christ.

John 12:32, 33

The church gathers to worship to   ENCOURAGE   one another.

Romans 12:1; Heb, 10:25

There are four ingredients that should always be present in worship:

A sense of   AWE   (Isaiah 6:1-5)

A sense of   JOY   (Psalms 100)

A sense of   TRUTH   (John 4:24; Isaiah 29:13)

A sense of   SPIRIT   (John 4:24)

Here are the Lessons:

1. A growing church specializes in   MEANINGFUL   worship.

2. A growing church is   FLEXIBLE   and   TOLERANT   in worship.

3. In a growing church the most important ingredient in worship is   WORSHIPFUL   people.
