INTRODUCTION:

1. “O Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness” (Psalm 96:9)

1) This ability is what we are endeavoring to produce in each one of us in this series of studies.

2) We want to develop in every one of us a deeper appreciation for worship – for true worship.

2. In our last lesson we set out to define and describe true worship. True worship:

1) Ascribes worth to God – “worship” = worthship.

2) Is to be done in reverence.

3) Arises from the heart overflowing with gratitude.

4) Is reinforced with godly living.

5) Involves the entire person.

3. True worship, as seen in the fragrance prepared for the worship of God in Old Testament times and noted in our last lesson (Exodus 30:34-38), is reserved for God alone – thus, true worship is to be unique.
