Summary

True worship is not merely singing songs or expressing gratitude; it is a profound dedication of one's entire life to God, exemplified by Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac. The speaker outlines four levels of communication with God—prayer, thanksgiving, praise, and worship—and clarifies that true worship is found in the spirit, desiring nothing on earth except God. This requires becoming a 'maximum Christian' who is willing to lay down everything for Him.

Outline

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.

Is your life an expression of thankfulness to God?We should live each day saying thank you to God for dying for us, denying our own will in provocative situations.

Finishing the work God gave you to doLike Jesus, we should want to get the maximum out of our one life to fulfill God's specific plan without worrying about human opinions.

Being a maximum Christian instead of a minimum oneOur lives are not given for comfort, ease, or making money, but to be laid down entirely on the altar like Abraham placed Isaac.

The first mention of worship in the BibleThe very first time the word worship occurs in Genesis 22, Abraham called his intent to sacrifice Isaac on Mount Moriah an act of worship.Genesis 22:5

Job's example of worship through lossWhen Job lost everything, he fell to the ground and worshipped, acknowledging that God has every right to take away what He gave.

The four levels in our communication with GodCommunication progresses through prayer, thanksgiving, praise, and finally worship, which is distinct from merely singing songs.

God is seeking true worshippers in spiritScripture shows that the Father seeks true worshippers who worship in spirit, which is different from prayer, thanksgiving, or praise found in hymns.John 4:23–24

Desiring nothing on earth but GodWorship takes place in the secret place where you hold onto nothing and echo the psalmist in desiring God above all else.
