THE RHYTHM OF OUR HEART: WORSHIPPsalm 95

FREQUENT QUESTION: HOW DO WE WORSHIP?

WHO DO WE WORSHIP?1 Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD;    let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving    and extol him with music and song.3 For the LORD is the great God,    the great King above all gods.4 In his hand are the depths of the earth,    and the mountain peaks belong to him.5 The sea is his, for he made it,    and his hands formed the dry land.6 Come, let us bow down in worship,    let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;7 for he is our God    and we are the people of his pasture,    the flock under his care.

THE RHYTHM OF OUR HEART

WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR HEARTS?

Today, if only you would hear his voice,8 “Do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah (quarrelling), as you did that day at Massah (testing) in the wilderness,9 where your ancestors tested me;    they tried me, though they had seen what I did.

IN LIFE, WE ARE NOT MADE HAPPY BY WHAT WE ACQUIRE, BUT BY WHAT WE APPRECIATE

FOR WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS, THERE YOUR HEART WILL BE ALSO.

Matthew 6:21

FOR HE IS OUR GOD    AND WE ARE THE PEOPLE OF HIS PASTURE,    THE FLOCK UNDER HIS CARE.Psalm 95:7

JOHN 10:11,14-15

 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep… ”“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.”

WHEN DO WE WORSHIP?7 So, as the Holy Spirit says:

“Today, if you hear his voice,8     do not harden your heartsas you did in the rebellion,    during the time of testing in the wilderness,9 where your ancestors tested and tried me,    though for forty years they saw what I did.10 That is why I was angry with that generation;    I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray,    and they have not known my ways.’11 So I declared on oath in my anger,    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ”

Hebrews 3:7-11

WHEN DO WE WORSHIP?12 See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. 13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. 14 We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.

Hebrews 3:12-14
