THE BEST GIFT OFFERING isn’t about some big need, or goal to hit, it’s about stirring up a generous spirit within the church, and passionate worship.
I taught the kids about worship a lot:
Worship isn’t about the music--it’s about your focus.
Worship isn’t about you--it’s about Him.
When worship is TRUE & GENUINE, (in spirit AND in truth) it has some amazing byproducts:
Contagious
Attractive
Inspiring
But the flip side is also true..when you have disingenuous and religious worship, it’s also:
repulsive
repelling
depressing
Gen 49:10, “The scepter will not depart from Judah,
nor the ruler’s staff from his descendants,
until the coming of the one to whom it belongs,
the one whom all nations will honor.”
Daniel 2:44 says, ““During the reigns of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed or conquered. It will crush all these kingdoms into nothingness, and it will stand forever.”
FAITH AND FEAR are constantly at war. Worship is a discipline.
Worship is about seeing the bigger picture. The magnitude who God is.
When we understand that the plan of salvation has always been written in the stars...that’s when we can bring him our best worship.
