Worship is to bring pleasure to God.
The Lord is pleased with those who worship him and trust his love. Psalm 147:11
The heart of worship is surrender.
God wants to be our best friend.
Honest is the key to close friendship.
God’s worshippers must worship in spirit and in truth. John 4:24
3rd week: You were formed for God’s Family
Day 15 - Formed for God’s Family:
“A slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.” John 8:35
“Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother." Matthew 12:50
“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” Galatians 6:10
Q1. What is God’s family?
Day 16 – What Matters Most
" 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'” Matthew 22:37-40
“These three things continue forever: faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love” 1Corinthians 13:13
Q1. Honestly, are relationships my first priority? How can I ensure that they are?
Q2. What are the barriers that keep us from loving and caring for others?
Day 17 – A Place to Belong
“Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” John 13:35
“You are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household.” Ephesians 2:19
Q1. Do you feel at home when you are in church?
Q2. What are the barriers that keep us from loving and caring for other believers?
Day 18 – Experiencing Life Together
“How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity” Psalms 133:1
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2
Q. What is your understanding about Fellowship?
Sharing time
From this week’s reading, do you have a passage from the book or from the bible that you want to share?
A passage to memorize – 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love never fails.
