JOHN 4: But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

ROMANS 12:1 1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

Worshipping in Spirit and in Truth 1.Principle of Worship – a living sacrifice. 2.Problem of Worship – a living sacrifice. 3.Solution for Worship – seeing worth of THE SACRIFICE

Nature of a Sacrifice (offering) A sacrifice costs something A sacrifice given is no longer ours. Types of offerings: praise, talent, resources, time, and relationships…

ROMANS 12:2 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Am I conformed to this world? 1.What will I lose? 2.What will I gain? 3.Is my gain worth my loss?

“Contemporary Westerners are nurtured on the faith that everyone has a right to do what they want when they want, to pursue happiness in all ways possible, to feel good, and to lead a “productive and successful life,” understood largely in terms of self-contentment and material well-being. This vision of life has come, in the popular mind, to be identified with “the good life,” and even with civilized existence.

“It is taught through the popular media, political rhetoric, and the educational system as the natural way for life to be. The obvious problem is that this mind-set can subtly prevent us from seeking God’s kingdom and righteousness first. Our lifestyle begins to determine what we’re willing to do in service for Christ.” Dallas Willard – The Spirit of the Disciplines
