TWO MAIN WORDS in Hebrew and Greek describe WORSHIP
1. The Hebrew word shachah (Strong’s number 7812) is used of bowingor prostrating oneself, often before a superior or before God.
– In the King James Version, it is translated by a number of different Englishwords, including: “worship” (99 times), “bow” (31 times), “bow down”(18 times), “obeisance” (9 times), and “reverence” (5 times).
2. The Greek word proskuneo (Strong’s number 4505) comes from theGreek words pros, “to” or “toward,” and kuneo, “to kiss.”
– It literally means to kiss the hand to (toward) someone in token ofreverence, and among the Orientals, to fall upon the knees and touch theground with the forehead as an expression of profound reverence.
– Hence, in the New Testament it means kneeling or prostration to dohomage or make obeisance, whether in order to express respect or tomake supplication.

Biblically speaking,
what does worship
look like?

Is this the same as what we see in the Bible about the subject of worship?

Can we say that it may even be the oppositefrom what we see in the Bible about the subject
of worship?

By the way: What will we be singing in heaven? Worshipful songs
Revelation 15:3-4
And they sing the song of Moses the servant ofGod, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great andmarvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; justand true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
4 Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thyname? for thou only art holy: for all nations shallcome and worship before thee; for thy judgmentsare made manifest.

life:
Philippians 2:10-11

should bow, of things in heaven, and
things in earth, and things under the
earth; (11) And that every tongue
should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

1Samuel 16:7
… the LORD sees not as man
sees; for man lookes on the
outward appearance, but the
LORD looks on the heart.
God looks on our hearts:

Can we worship God with hearts filled with sin?
![Page 105: A Word about Worship](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559edf271a28abd0218b46af/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)

God looks on our hearts
OurAttitudes
Behaviors
Desires
Imaginations
Submissiveness
Thoughts
These demonstrate a worshipful believer (Christian)
![Page 107: A Word about Worship](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559edf271a28abd0218b46af/html5/thumbnails/107.jpg)

Christ, our Example of worship
John 6:38
For I came down from heaven, not to do mineown will, but the will of him that sent me.
Isaiah 53:7
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet heopened not his mouth: he is brought as a lambto the slaughter, and as a sheep before hershearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
![Page 109: A Word about Worship](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559edf271a28abd0218b46af/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
Do I have to bow down on my knees
to worship?
![Page 110: A Word about Worship](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559edf271a28abd0218b46af/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)
The question should be if our hearts bowed down before God
throughout the day?
It is EASY to lift our hands and “feel” good about God in church
Everybody can sing songs (even lost people can do that)
![Page 111: A Word about Worship](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559edf271a28abd0218b46af/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)
• But, the Bible tells us that practicalworship is bowing down before Godwhether in body, or mind, or heartwith a submissiveness to obey Hiscommands and follow Christ
• Quite OPPOSITE from what weobserve these days among the peopleof God
![Page 112: A Word about Worship](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559edf271a28abd0218b46af/html5/thumbnails/112.jpg)
Are our hearts bowed down to GOD?
Do we:
Bow down to (OBEY) His commands (Word)?
Bow down to (YIELD) to His Spirit’s leading?
Bow down (CONFORM) to His Word in our lives?
Bow down (SUBMIT) to His authority in our lives?
Bow down (SURRENDER) in heart, in prayer, looking to and relying on GOD to meet our needs?
Do these attitudes WORSHIP GOD?
![Page 113: A Word about Worship](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559edf271a28abd0218b46af/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)
Remember: LOVE = obedience
WORSHIP = heart boweddown to GOD in
submission and reverence
PRAISE = saying or singingthe glory of GOD
![Page 114: A Word about Worship](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559edf271a28abd0218b46af/html5/thumbnails/114.jpg)
EACH is DIFFERENT
Each VIEWS GOD from various perspectives
EACH has its PLACE

In what ways do people TRY to worship GOD apart from spirit
and truth (in the flesh)?
In what ways do we worship GOD in spirit and truth?
![Page 116: A Word about Worship](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052623/559edf271a28abd0218b46af/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)

Is worship only for a group or is it an
individual matter?

Matthew 4:8-10
8 Again, the devil took him up on top of avery high mountain, and showed him all thekingdoms of the world, and the glory ofthem;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will Igive you, if you will fall down and worshipme.
10 Then said Jesus to him, Get you hence,Satan: for it is written, You shall worship theLord your God, and him only shall you serve.

So, what is praise?
