Worship: Recognizing My Worthlessness and Christ's Worthiness -- Santosh Poonen -- November 13, 2021
Summary
The central message is that true devotion to Christ involves recognizing one's own worthlessness before His majesty. The speaker contrasts earthly desires for community or comfort with the profound desire to simply behold Jesus' beauty and glory forever. True worship, therefore, is characterized by humility, acknowledging that one is an unworthy slave before God.
Description
For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are, so that no man may boast before God. (I Corinthians 1:26-29) --- This is an extract from Session 1 of the series 'Securing Undistracted Devotion to Christ' preached at Austin CFC in November 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-jLjdlY9Lk&list=PL05E9xtsqetCeTDzyJlzl-Y0HxZuLHdCD River of Life Christian Fellowship 1306 N Lincoln Avenue Loveland, Colorado - 80537, USA

True worship is not merely singing praise or giving thanks, but a deep, daily declaration that one desires nothing on earth except Christ. The speaker emphasizes that spiritual growth comes from being a worshipper, exemplified by Job, rather than just accumulating Bible knowledge. This devotion requires constantly prioritizing Christ above all earthly desires, including career, family comfort, and even ministry itself.
