In Worship We Should Be Joyful Ephesians 5:19 Colossians 3:16 But sadly, many have lost that joy. They find it drudgery. Complain about how it is done. Find excuses not to attend cf. Malachi 1:13

Is Our Heart Right with God? If NO Joy in Worship Is Our Heart Right with God? Lack of joy likely means our heart is not right Matt. 5:8, Heb. 10:22 Matt. 6:24, Divided loyalties? James 4:8 2 Cor. 13:5, Examine yourself

Do We Understand our Purpose for Assembling?? If NO Joy in Worship Do We Understand our Purpose for Assembling?? We are here to worship God! Heb. 10:24-25 Acts 20:7, 1 Cor. 11:20, 16:1-2, etc. Why are YOU here? Wrong reasons? When we understand why we are here, it will be a pleasure to worship Him. – HIS way!

Are we spiritually minded? If NO Joy in Worship Are we spiritually minded? Is God first in our lives? Eph. 2:19, 1 Pet. 2:11 Colossians 3:1-2 Romans 8:5-8 Do we allow the world and its allurements to make our worship “boring”? Romans 12:1-2

Have we made adequate preparation? If NO Joy in Worship Have we made adequate preparation? Ezra 7:10, Ezra prepared his heart to seek the Lord. Psalm 122:1 Do we adequately prepare? Our lessons? Get proper rest? Pray? Seek to purify our heart? Cf. 2 Cor. 9:7, Acts 10:33, Acts 17:11

How do we feel about our brethren? If NO Joy in Worship How do we feel about our brethren? John 13:34,35, We MUST love our brethren 1 John 4:7-11 Sadly, many let personality conflicts or problems with brethren interfere with their worship. Phil. 2:3-4, Rom. 15:1-2

Is our desire for heaven what it ought to be? If NO Joy in Worship Is our desire for heaven what it ought to be? Do we live with real hope beyond this life? Are we convinced of the reality of both heaven and hell? Hebrews 11:13-16 1 Peter 1:3-5 Proper worship is a “taste of heaven”.

Is your heart right with God… In worship and in all that you do?
