Worship is our response personally and collectively to God for who he is, and all he has done, expressed in the things we say, decisions we make and the way we live.

REALITIES OF WORSHIP
Worship is relational; it involves engagement with a real relational God.
• Worship is about understanding, not just activity.
• Worship is holistic; it involves the whole person.

3 Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. 4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.5 He said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.” Genesis 22:3-5

Shachah– To bow down or to lay flat.

1 Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens.2 Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. 3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, 4 praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, 5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals.6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Psalm 150

The words used to describe worship in the Bible describe a posture of the body.

14 Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, 15 while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of trumpets. 16 As the ark of the Lord was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her heart. 2 Samuel 6:14-16

20 When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, going around half-naked in full view of the servant girls of his subjects as any vulgar fellow would!” 21 David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the Lord’s people Israel—I will celebrate before the Lord. 22 I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these servant girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor.” 2 Samuel 6:20-22

6 Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Psalm 150

THE KIND OF WORSHIP GOD LOVES:
• Expressing all my affection to God.
• Turning my full attention to God.
• Using my abilities for God.
• A commitment to hold nothing back from God.

10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 2 Corinthians 4:10
