The Spiritual Discipline of Worship Sermon Notes

How do Believers Grow in Grace? Disaster or Discipline

The Gospel is the Good News of the Cross and Resurrection of Jesus Christ by which we become the Righteousness of God.

The Spiritual Disciplines - physically activity that helps open my spiritual heart to receive the love of Jesus Christ.

Is this Law? No.

Why should I do it? Not guilt but love.

The Spiritual Discipline of Worship

John 4:23-24 - 23 But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

1. The Movement - Our worship is response.

John 4:23 - for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. Our Heavenly Father "is actively seeking worshippers. ….. It is God who seeks, draws, persuades. Worship is human response to the divine initiative." ("Worship" in The Celebration of Discipline, Richard Foster, p.158)

2. The Reality - Worship is found in spirit and truth.

"Worship is our response to the overtures of love from the heart of the Father. Its central reality is found "in spirit and truth.» It is kindled within us only when the Spirit of God touches our human spirit. Forms and rituals do not produce worship." (Celebration of Discipline, p.158)

3. The Forms - Worship is free to take many forms.

"Nowhere does the New Testament prescribe a particular form of worship. In fact, what we find is freedom. To say that forms are secondary is not to say that they are irrelevant. As long as we are finite human beings we must have forms... but the forms are not the worship; they only lead us into worship. (Celebration of Discipline, p.159)

Christianity is never private or individual but personal and corporate.
