Worship As Sacrifice

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 13, 2022

The word "worship" means ascribing worth to God. In America, worship doesn’t cost us much; and so, we have basically forgotten God's real worth. But, according to the Scripture, worship involves sacrifice, which is very costly.

Tonight we are going to come to a better understanding of what it means to worship the Lord. To begin, we must understand what the word “worship” means. The word worship is derived from an Anglo-Saxon word, which is actually a combination of the two words “worth” and “ship.” The term “ship” ...read more

Worship The Lord Series

Contributed by Joseph Marshall on Dec 4, 2022

David was so pleased and this is how he responded. • Worship to God is not merely what you do in church but how you respond to the circumstances that take place in your ...read more
