-God’s BIG Picture (Week 6)- “Worship”

Matthew 21:1-22 When we understand who God is and see His Big Picture, the only natural response is worship. Worship is all about bringing God glory. God inhabits the praises of His people. God comes alive in worship! Worship involves actions and words that praise His name 1. Be prepared to worship 2. Let your actions bring God praise 3. Let your words express His greatness! 4. God has ordained praise from all ages

Worship involves us being challenged and corrected

1. Worship lifts up God’s word – double edged sword (Hebrews 4:12)

2. Worship corrects behavior that is not Christ-like 3. Worship must be all about communication with God 4. This is never about making money

Worship involves seeing God’s power at work 1. When we are in God’s presence we can expect miracles to happen (Matthew 18:19-20) 2. When we see miracles happen and we tell others in worship,

it helps people believe in God’s Power 3. Worship helps us know that we have that power in us 4. Worship helps us have faith to see miracles happen in our lives

The Passion of the ChristWitness the love, the grace, and the Passion. Though we will not be meeting at the church to screen this film, we want to encourage you to plan to watch the movie on Good Friday. There are several options available for us to view the film at home. DVD and Blu-Ray copies can be purchased at amazon.com. If you have an Amazon PRIME membership, the film is currently free to stream from PRIME Video. The movie powerfully shows Jesus’s last hours before His death on the cross. Please note, this movie is rated R for sequences of graphic violence.

Never Gonna Stop [Lyrics][04-15-12] by Tommy Walker

VerseFor Your beauty that's been shown,For Your mysteries unknown,For the miracles we've seen,We praise You Lord;For the story of Your love,For the wonder of Your blood,How it makes the sinner clean,Someone like me.

ChorusSo I'm never gonna stop,Never gonna stop,Lifting up my hands to You,Lifting up my heart;When the last day comes and goes,And time will be no more,I'll be praising You;

No, I'll never let it end,I'll just begin it all again;Shouts of thankfulness and loveI'm always gonna give;A thousand years from now,Before Your throne of grace and power,I'll be praising You,Praising You.

Verse

Chorus

BridgeThough pressed on every side,With troubles and fears so near me;And should the whole wide world deny You,I'll just make it louder,Shout Your name on high.

Chorus

EndingI'll be praising, I'll be praising You;I'll be praising, I'll be praising You.(Repeat)

Be Ye Glad [Lyrics][Glad] by Michael Kelly Blanchard

Verse 1In these days of confused situations,In these nights of a restless remorse,When the heart and the soul of a nationLay wounded and cold as a corpse.From the grave of the innocent AdamComes a song bringing joy to the sad.O your cry has been heard and the ransomHas been paid up in full, be ye glad.

ChorusO be ye glad, be ye glad;Every debt that you ever hadHas been paid up in fullBy the grace of the Lord.Be ye glad, be ye glad, be ye glad.

Verse 2Now from your dungeon a rumor is stirring,You have heard it again and again;Ah, but this time the cell keys they're turningAnd outside there are faces of friends.And though your body lay weary from wasting,And your eyes show the sorrow they've had,O the love that your heart is now tastingHas opened the gate, be ye glad.

Chorus

Verse 3So be like lights on the rim of the water,Giving hope in a storm sea of night;Be a refuge amidst the slaughterOf these fugitives in their flight.For you are timeless and part of a puzzle,You are winsome and young as a lad;And there is no disease or no struggleThat can pull you from God, be ye glad.

Chorus

The Greatness Of Our God [Lyrics][The Greatness of Our God] by Stuart David Garrard, Jason Ingram, and Reuben Morgan

Verse 1Give me eyes to see more of who You are.May what I behold still my anxious heart.Take what I have knownAnd break it all apart.You, my God, are greater still.

Chorus 1And no sky contains,No doubt restrainsAll You are, the greatness of our God.I spend my life to know,And I'm far from close toAll You are, the greatness of our God.

Verse 2Give me grace to seeBeyond this moment here.To believe that there isNothing left to fear.And that You alone are high above it all.For You, my God, are greater still.

Chorus 1

BridgeThere is nothing,That can ever separate us.There is nothing,That can ever separate us from Your love.No life. No death. Of this I am convincedThat You, my God are greater still.REPEAT

Chorus 2And no words could say, or song conveyAll You are. The greatness of our God.I spend my life to know,And I'm far from close toAll You are, the greatness of our God.

Chorus 1

TagAll You are, the greatness of our God.

Is He Worthy [Lyrics, 73 bpm, 4/4][Default Arrangement] by Andrew Peterson and Ben Shive

Verse 1Do you feel the world is broken? We do.Do you feel the shadows deepen? We do.But do you know that all the darkWon't stop the light from getting through? We do.Do you wish that you could see it all made new? We do.

Verse 2Is all creation groaning? It is.Is a new creation coming? It is.Is the glory of the LordTo be the light within our midst? It is.Is it good that we remind ourselves of this? It is.

Chorus 1Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave,He is David's Root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave.Is He worthy, is He worthy of all blessing and honor and glory?Is He worthy of this? He is.

Verse 3Does the Father truly love us? He does.Does the Spirit move among us? He does.And does Jesus, our Messiah,Hold forever those He loves? He does.Does our God intend to dwell again with us? He does.

Chorus 2Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave,He is David's Root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave.From every people and tribe, every nation and tongue,He has made us a kingdom and priestsTo God to reign with the Son.Is He worthy, is He worthy of all blessing and honor and glory?Is He worthy, is He worthy,Is He worthy of this? He is.

EndingIs He worthy,Is He worthy?He is.He is.
