Personal Reflection
- Worship is always initiated by God (see Rom. 3:11). How did God first initiate worship in you? How does he continue to do so?
- Do you drink deeply and daily from the worship well? What does this look like? How would you like it to look?
Group Discussion
- In thinking about “worship well”…how would you describe your life in God? (thirsty, satisfied, dry, other?)
- Are you worried more about the outside or the inside? What do you do for appearances? Do you ever offer up lukewarm leftovers in worship? What does it look like to repent and return to your first love?
- Does NBC focus more on forms or essence of worship? How can we press on in the most important parts and leave behind petty, unimportant things?
- Do you worship the true God or one you’ve constructed? Can you tell the difference? Tell God you want to know Him as he really is…then seek him. (1 Chronicles 16:10 … let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice! 11 Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!)
- Is there any competition for the one true God in you worship? Who/What do you sacrifice for? Focus on? Talk about? Give yourself to?
Plan of Action
- How can you prepare well for Sunday worship? Name some things that you are looking for in a great worship service and what your role is in it.
- Renew your vow to worship God always in all ways.
