Speech On Worship Without Sacrifice

979 Words4 Pages

Worship without sacrifice is in vain. I want you to get that in your spirit. God gives us blessings in form of materials and finances to worship Him. When you fail to worship God with your sacrifice, they become an idol.
Praise is good.
Worship is good.
Thanksgiving is also good.
But when you include sacrifice it becomes better. Why am l saying all this, remember Jesus said, ‘’where treasure is, your heart will be also’’—Matt 6:21.
So you can never say, ‘’you love the Lord’’ when your hand is empty. That is an abuse of God’s blessings upon your life. Giving to God something is a sign of appreciating God’s blessings. You take God as the source of whatever you have. Some people think it is their power that gave them their wealth. That is narrow mindedness. God reminded the children of …show more content…

Real worship is a lot more than attending weekly meetings. Worship is where we allow the supernatural God of the Bible to show up and to interact with people in the pews.
The Lord should always be in the central focus of worship not just a visitor in the back row.
Are you born again? Worship is for those who know Christ personally.
You may love the Lord and give offerings at the church but you don’t know Him personally.
I am here to help you see things in the right perspective. God calls us to worship Him in season and out of season. That is why being filled by His Sprit is imperative.
The question is, has Jesus forgiven you all your sins? That is important. True worship is by the Spirit and is sustained in the same manner.
I have seen people going to church, they are committed and do a lot but tin the long run, and they cease to continue. What was done in the flesh cannot please God. You need to be born again. It is only Him who can help you, keep you on the track and renew you when challenging moments come.
This is the way to enter that place of true worship.

    Chapter One: My Story In the very beginning of this book, the author, Josh Dowel, relates a story from his childhood in which he couldn’t find satisfaction from his church, and thereby abandoned attending church. He quotes a country saying “when something doesn’t work, get rid of it” as a way of explaining his attitude toward church, and consequently, religion. Later in this chapter, Dowel explains a revelation which led him to once again explore Christianity. He realized a valuable truth: Jesus Christ and religion are two separate entities.

    The solution was to designed activities that were tailored to suit the need of the new converts. In the case of the Moody Bible Church, the drop in the number of attendees was as a result of its constant change in its leadership. Most of their leaders could only last for few years before departing (resigning). Their resignation has nothing to do with disagreements, nor poor performance, instead, it has a lot to do with the zeal to reach the unreached, to take their saving gospel of Christ to the unreached regions in Africa, Asia, Europe, etc.

  • Speaking Of Jesus Chapter 3 Summary

    456 Words  | 2 Pages

    You are either a solid Christian or you are not a solid Christian. As Christians we have this idea that we are inside of a circle and our job is to bring others in by telling them they have to belive exactly what we belive, or we point out what is wrong in their life and what they have to fix in order to also become a Christian. We tend to point out what makes us different from those people that we have Jesus and they don't, instead of us showing them the love of Christ and how he is a reedeming and merciful God. In the midst of trying to bring others to the Kingdom of God, we forget what we really believe and try to act like a perfect Christian which we are not. Medearis says there is an in and an out, a kingdom of light and a Kingdom of darkness, but it is not our job to decide who is in or out it is ultimately up to Jesus.

    many years later in his second monthly known as the Millennial Harbinger. It was the idea of “Baptism by Emersion” Campbell claimed was essential to receive salvation. Through the Christian system and Christian Baptism (two books Alexander Campbell wrote over baptism) Alexander Campbell breaks down the creeds of Episcopalian, Methodist, Presbyterian, and Baptists showing that they all have the same common belief that sanctification comes through the cognitive decision by ones self to be baptized (fully immersed). Though he claims it is evident that all these denominations are too afraid to carry this belief out in their faith or in their practice (Christian system-remission of sins, Prop.XII) .

    You may struggle with preferring singing more than you do the lesson being preached on Sunday morning. There are also some people who view the entire service as pointless but are there just so they can take the Lord’s Supper. Maybe there are some who even neglect personal prayer and singing to God, only seeing those as things that are done when we assemble. This stems from a wrong view on Christianity. This concept of having a buffet style (take what you want, leave the rest) Christianity is not something new.

    They preach a form of Christianity that appears as Bonhoeffer would call “cheap grace”; therefore the congregation is not challenged to grow in their faith, which in the end weakens their faith. It becomes “a path of least resistance to become a pander bear with our theological substances as well as our use of stories.” (55) In my own preaching, I need remember it is not about me meeting people’s needs; it about my cooperation with the Holy Spirit to allow God’s Word to meet their people’s needs. This means that some Sundays people will go home challenged and possibly angry, but if the sermon transforms people’s heart into a better direction then I have done my job.
