The Church Needs to Understand True Worship

The kingdom of God is a culture of worship.

So often men neglect worship because they think it's a "woman thing". But when we look at the Bible, we see that it was a manly thing.

David was a worshiper.

But the worship that King David had was lost by the time Jesus was born
By the time Jesus was born, ⁠worship had become very controlled. The spontaneity was gone. ⁠Instruments weren't allowed.

Only certain people could sing.

"But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:24

⁠Worship is a matter of the heart⁠. When our heart is full of offense and bitterness, we can't worship.

American culture is saturated in offense today. We need to learn to stop living in the spirit of offense. You can't develop a heart of worship when you have a heart of offense.

⁠Worship in Spirit and in truth⁠. Spirit is an expression of the heart. When our heart is free we can have a spirit of worship
