In John 4:23 Jesus told the Samaritan woman, “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.” He said it’s now and is coming, this is the typical Kingdom language Jesus used many times in the Gospels. What does this mean? Why does it matter? We tend to apply the word “worship” in the framework of singing worship songs during a Sunday service or perhaps a small home group. While that is part of it, it is so much more. When He says “worship in spirit and truth”, Jesus is not simply talking about singing worship songs. It is much deeper, fuller, and more powerful. Worship this side of heaven is all we have to worship Him. We should press into understanding worship as Jesus intended. Worship is not only the one thing we have to offer Him now, but it is the one part of our life in the here and now that we will continue to do throughout all eternity. Shouldn’t we understand it more biblically? Should we ask, “What does it mean to worship God in Spirit and truth?” We should ask how you actually live a life of worship. While most will say, “Yes, I know it is more than singing at a Sunday service,” worship doesn’t simply transform us individually, it also has the power to touch others through true worship that impacts our entire life, if we understand what it is and how to live out from the lifestyle of worship.

What did worship look like in the Old Testament?
What do we see in Abraham, Isaac and Jacob’s stories?
How did it change with Moses?
How about David? The first we associate music with.
How did the early Church worship?
What did the authors of the New Testament teach about true worship
IS it different from the Old Testament?
What are the practical applications to a worship lifestyle?
How does it bring transformation?
How can we live in a way that glorifies God AND reveals Him to the world around us, in an authentic natural way?
What does Jesus mean when He says “worship in spirit and truth”?
Practical tools that will help you connect more deeply with the Lord through the lifestyle of worship.

Worship can change everything. It brings transformation to the inner man, not the singing songs worship, which is beautiful and can be transformative, but actually living from a place of worship. Again, it is the One thing we will forever engage in, we should understand it from God’s point of view, not simply the human view or practices. Join us as we explore this central theme of scripture. It will help you grow in wisdom and understanding, while transforming your inner man.
