In this prophetic and timely reminder of what worship is, pastor Luke built on John 15:1-14 and reminded us about why worship is such a transformative, dangerous, and risky space for the "friends of God" to enter into.
As we continue to ask, What is worship?, pastor Luke preached from John 4 and shared thoughts toward developing a posture of worship that is rooted in an understanding of who God is and what He has done for us. Along the way, we learn about why Jesus' interaction with the Samaritan woman was so controversial and why we should all be like that Samaritan woman!
Looking at Psalm 84, pastor Luke shared about how the posture of worship is grounded in recognizing and responding to both the "bigness" and "nearness" of God. What is worship? Surely it is feasting on the reality that while we draw near to God, he draws near to us; as we delight in him, he delights in us; and as we rejoice over him with songs, he rejoices of us with songs!
Building a theology of worship from Revelation 4, we see that all angelic beings are centered around the Throne of God! Worship is the posture of centering around Jesus!
