Monthly Theme: August = Meaningful Worship Definition of worship—Greek word is proskuneo Worship is focused on God Worship designed by God illustrated in Rev. 5:6-14 Worship involves truth, but also spirit (soul) Worship is a verb—not a noun

Prepare for worship Participate in worship—never be a distraction Concentrate on each act of worship Picture Jesus next to you worshiping with you Today we will focus on giving as worship

Weekly giving is Biblical Far different from the O.T. tithe Far more like Thanksgiving Sacrifices of the O.T. Some have made it “secondary” in our worship God never wanted us to treat it this way!

Prepare beforehand Remember that we give to God, not the church Do not ask, “How much do I have to give?” Instead say, “How much can I give to God?” As you give, say, “God this is how much I love you!” Picture Jesus sitting next to you as you give Never let contribution time become distracted time

Remind us that we are worshiping by giving Remind us that giving is not “a secondary act” Remind us that we give from the heart, joyfully Remind us that we give from the heart, freely Remind us of His trust in us to give Remind us of the honor He gives to let us give Help us understand we do not give “because the elders have decided we should give.” Giving is commanded by God, not the elders.

Believe in HimJohn 3:16 Repent—decide to obeyActs 17:30 Confess ChristRom. 10:9 Baptized to be savedActs 22:16 Added to His Kingdom, His church Be faithful until deathRev. 2:10
