The main idea of Pastor Paul's sermon was to encourage us to stoke the fire of worship in our lives. He emphasized that worship extends beyond singing in a service; it's a lifestyle of serving and honoring God in every aspect of our lives. He used the Old Testament reference from Leviticus 6:12-13 to illustrate the importance of maintaining the fire on the altar, which symbolizes our continuous worship. Pastor Paul also highlighted that worship is fueled by joy, relationship with God, gratitude, and recognizing God's goodness and faithfulness.
Leviticus 6:12-13, Psalm 100
3. How does understanding that we are God's temple influence our perspective on worship?
4. Can you share a time when thanksgiving helped to reignite your worship?
5. What attribute of God's character most inspires you to worship, and why?
Pastor Paul Feuerstein from Echo Church delivered a powerful message titled 'Family Worship' as part of the 'Worship' series. He inspired us to keep the fire of worship burning within us, not just during the worship service but throughout our entire week and in our homes with our families. He used the metaphor of a fire to illustrate how worship should be continuously fueled. Pastor Paul reminded us that our bodies are now the temple of the Holy Spirit, and we must keep the fire of worship alive. He drew from Psalm 100 to show us how worship is fueled by celebration, relationship, thanksgiving, and God's character.
Let's make a conscious effort to include God in our moments of joy and gladness, turning them into acts of worship.
This week, take time to read the Bible and discover one attribute of God to fuel your worship and carry that image with you throughout the day.
