Presentation transcript:

IS MY WORSHIP BETTER THAN CAIN’S? “By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous…” (Heb. 11:4)

Is it of FAITH? Abel a prophet – Luke 11:49-51 Is it truth? Is it based from what was written by the apostles? – Acts 2:42; 1 Corinthians 4:6 Is it done in spirit? Is it according to the spirit of Christ? – John 12:48-50; 1 Cor. 9:16, 17 Preaching/Teaching

Is it of FAITH?  What is fellowship? – A share in something – “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?” (2 Cor. 6:14) Righteousness has nothing to share in lawlessness Light has nothing to share in darkness Fellowship/sharing

 God desires of us to have fellowship  We have been called into the fellowship of God’s Son (1 Cor. 1:9) – A life without sharing in the works of darkness (Eph. 5:11; 1 Jn. 1:3-7) – Requires a “like-mindedness” (Phil. 2:1, 2) A Christ-like mind (Phil. 1:27, 2:5) What attitude should we have? Fellowship

1.A humble mind to obey (Phil. 2:3, 7, 8) 2.A mind to cling to the word of life (Phil. 2:14-16) 3.A mind that is willing to suffer (Phil. 1:29; 2:8) Fellowship & The Mind Of Christ

Is it of FAITH? Do we have a heart that is willing to share? – 2 Corinthians 8:12; Heb. 13:16 Are we willing to practice giving on the first day of the week? – 1 Corinthians 16:1, 2 Do we look for opportunities to do good or have we grown discouraged or indifferent? – Galatians 6:1-10 Fellowship/sharing

Is it of FAITH? Are we interested in proclaiming the Lord’s death or having a religion filled with carnality? – 1 Corinthians 11:22, 26; Philippians 3:10 Do we keep it pure and simple with unleavened bread and the fruit of the vine? – Matthew 26:17, Do we commemorate His death every first day of the week? – Acts 20:7 Observing Christ’s Death

Is it of FAITH? Are we a people of constant prayer? – Acts 2:42; 12:5, 12 Do we pray according to the will of God? – In truth: John 14:14; 15:7 – In spirit: Luke 22:42 Do we believe God hears our prayers? – James 1:5-8 Pray Together

Is it of FAITH? Do we keep it “spiritual?” – Ephesians 5:19 Do we want instructive songs? – Colossians 3:16 Do we maintain a cappella? – Ephesians 5:19; Hebrews 13:15 Praise Through Songs

To offer worship which is according to personal preference rather than God’s pattern, is to practice and embrace Cain’s religion; it is not embracing faith! Of Faith or Of Self? Colossians 2:23, “These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.”

Psalm 19:13 “Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, And I shall be innocent of great transgression”
