    Worship has a walk, a book, an object, and a cost. This message centers around offering God costly worship. Often people only give to God that which costs them nothing.

    Costly Worship Job 1:20,21 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
