Everyone worships. That is what we were created to do. We will naturally find something to devote ourselves to, wholly and completely. Anything from a job to the position of being a mom to the TV. Worship, therefore, is the act of devoting oneself to something or someone. Whatever we are spending our time doing, wherever our hearts find the most pleasure and delight, this is the focus of our worship.
Read this with new eyes: "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing, and perfect will." What comes to mind for you? Respond in the comments below.
Me, I see Paul addressing the three parts of a human: spirit, body, and mind. We offer God our bodies and transform/ renew the mind to give Jesus a spiritual act of worship. Let's discuss this, because I know going through this sermon series may leave some people lost or angry or rejected. Let's talk about what worship means to us.
