Outline
The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.
Whom have I in heaven but Thee?The foundational secret of Christian worship is declaring to Jesus from the depth of the heart that nothing else on earth is desired above Him.Psalm 73:25
The true nature of worshipWorship is distinct from singing and thanking God; it is falling before Jesus daily and confessing a total surrender of earthly desires.
Job as the first biblical worshipperThe earliest book written in the Bible presents Job as a worshipping man who praised God even after losing everything, rather than merely quoting scripture.
What the devil thinks of youHuman opinions count for nothing, but the devil's opinion matters because he observes private life and hidden motives constantly.
Freedom from complainingBeginning each day by desiring only God results in 100 percent freedom from murmuring over traffic, comfort, or tension.
The danger of mere Bible knowledgeBelievers can easily accumulate Bible knowledge and fool themselves into thinking they are spiritual while actually loving comfort more than Jesus.
Loving Jesus more than anyoneJesus explicitly stated that anyone who loves family, work, or money more than Him is not worthy of Him.
Avoiding the Pharisee trapProsperity and church involvement can lead believers to boast like a Pharisee, thinking they are superior to others rather than resting in Christ.
Ministry and health are not GodEven after decades in ministry, a truly useful servant considers neither ministry nor health as their god, holding loosely to everything except Jesus.
What Jesus wants from usJust as a good husband desires love above housekeeping skills, Jesus desires that He be more precious to us than anything else on earth.
Why we study the BibleThe Bible is the only book that reveals our bridegroom, making regular reading essential for anyone passionate about knowing Jesus.
