[ fanatic ] Week 1

We've just started a series on Worship for our JHigh students. So excited and hopeful to see them grow in this area. I wanted to simply share some of what happened last night @ Motion.



Week 1 notes:

WHAT IS THE ONE THING GOD DESIRES THAT ONLY YOU CAN GIVE?
YOUR WORSHIP.

WHY IS WORSHIP SO IMPORTANT?
THERE IS A WAR FOR YOUR WORSHIP.

Exodus 20:3-5
You shall have no other gods before me. "You shall not make for yourself idols…You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God.

Jealous-Demanding exclusive devotion to Himself

WHAT IN YOUR LIFE DO YOU VALUE THE MOST?
YOU WERE CREATED TO WORSHIP.

Luke 19:38-40
Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!" "Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!" Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, "Teacher, rebuke your disciples!" "I tell you," he replied, "if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out."

TWO IMPORTANT PARTS OF Worship
THE AUDIENCE. We think it's those of us in the crowd, but it's really God Himself!
THE PERFORMER. We think it's those on stage leading, but its truly us who are the performers.

WHAT IS WORSHIP?
WORSHIP IS A RESPONSE TO WHO GOD IS AND WHAT HE HAS DONE.

Romans 12:1
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your spiritual act of worship

WHO IS GOD AND WHAT HAS HE DONE?
­­­­­­­­­OUR ONLY REASONABLE RESPONSE IS WORSHIP!

Are you a fanatic?

Worship. It's a funny thing if you stop and think about the whole thing...

Worship IS- [def.] verb to feel an adoring reverence or regard for (any person or thing).
noun - adoring reverence or regard: excessive worship of business success.

Synonyms:honor, homage, adoration, idolatry. honor, venerate, revere, adore, glorify, idolize, adulate.

So is worship something we do, something that just IS, or something everyone does? Don't we all "adore reverence or regard on something?" Especially this time of year....High regard for that prized present, that perfect holiday setup, isn't it true we are all fanatics over something.

We ALL worship.

This season are you INTENTIONAL in your worship of the Christ? The one true messiah sent by God to make you right with your creator. How are you making that happen?

worship just happens. worship of the One True God doesn't.

I pray that I will, that you will, that our ministries will be defined by intentional worship this season of the Savior.

couple thoughts on worship here on the North campus...

1. Introducing Eli Dawson: Eli will be joining our North Campus Youth Staff this week as the Student Ministry Music Associate. He is currently a senior music major @ HBU and will be a great addition to our team. Be sure to introduce yourself to him as he gets to know everyone in the weeks to come!!!
2. Our JHigh is starting up a "fanatic" series on Wed's beginning tonight @ Motion. If you are in 7-8 grade or have a JHigher there is no better way to ramp up for the Christmas season than to be @ Motion to hear " why we worship"
