Sermon Title: “True Worship”  (Pastor Bob)

Sermon Text: Isaiah 66:1-24

Summary:

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and it was perfect. We ruined it! We thought we could define for ourselves what our existence is and what it should be. This leads us into false worship. We worship the creation rather than the Creator. We worship ourselves instead of the God who, despite our mess up, provides us a Savior who crushes the head of the serpent. If we want to be a part of God’s glorious future for His people, we need to practice true worship. Every part of a worship service based on the Word of God is worship—singing, preaching, listening to preaching, practicing what is preached. True worship is not based solely on our liturgy but whether or not we have a contrite heart, a deeply reverent listening to the Word of God. We should tremble at God’s Word with reverential fear and overwhelming joy. True worship declares the glory of God. There are only two choices. Will our life be summed up as a life of false worship or true worship? God will destroy false worship and those who practice it. Our end is either heaven or hell. It is not as complicated as some make it.
