Text: 1 Chronicles 16:29 “Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.”
Introduction:
This morning we say that we have come together to worship, but what is true worship. The dictionary give us these definitions.

From these definitions that I have just given to you, you may be wondering who or what am I suppose to worship? I'm so glad that you ask because I have an answer for you. Exodus 34:14 says: “For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.” Psalm 29:2 tells us where or how to worship God. It says: “Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.”
Now that I have showed you who to worship and where and how to worship, I would like us to look more into the how to worship a little more. There are three areas that I want us to look at in this message.
1.Personal Worship.

a. To help us grow in the way of Holiness.

3.Corporate Worship. Hebrews 10:25
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. “
Needs for Worshiping Corporately-
a. To help us grow as the Body of Christ.
b. To receive directions from God.
