True Worship
Overview
Among the greatest privileges afforded to man is the opportunity to worship the Creator—to bow down before Him in reverent acknowledgement of Who He is, to thank Him for His goodness, and to offer Him our praise. Worship gives meaning to a life devoted to serving God. Those who love and respect God’s will also know the necessity of avoiding any form of “vain” worship (Matt. 15:19), and sense the duty to worship God “in spirit and truth” (John 4:24). The speakers in this series focus on the meaning of worship, the importance of divine authority for acceptable worship, and the special nature of worship under the new covenant. The lessons also examine some of the current trends and challenging issues related to worship that Christians are facing. The speakers whose material appears in the book have provided you with valuable studies that will help you in your effort to worship and serve God faithfully.
