3 A devoted follower of Jesus is a vibrant worshipper of God who:

4 Sir, the woman said, I can see that You are a prophet. JOHN 4:19

5 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem. JOHN 4:20

6 Jesus declared, Believe Me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. JOHN 4:21

7 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. JOHN 4:22

8 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. JOHN 4:23

9 God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth. JOHN 4:24

10 So long as man remains free, he strives for nothing so incessantly and so painfully as to find someone to worship. FYODOR DOSTOYEVSKY

11 Worship is God s love language.

12 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God this is your spiritual act of worship. ROMANS 12:1

13 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God s will is His good, pleasing and perfect will. ROMANS 12:2

14 A devoted follower of Jesus is a vibrant worshipper of God who: Listens to what God s Spirit is saying in the Bible and submits to the Spirit s leading.

15 Sanctify them by the truth; Your Word is truth. JOHN 17:17

16 All this I have spoken while still with you. JOHN 14:25

17 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. JOHN 14:26

18 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 2 TIMOTHY 3:16

19 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 TIMOTHY 3:17

20 A devoted follower of Jesus is a vibrant worshipper of God who: Experiences a reconciled relationship with God and enjoys ongoing communion through prayer.

21 But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. PHILIPPIANS 3:7

22 What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ PHILIPPIANS 3:8

23 and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. PHILIPPIANS 3:9

24 I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death, PHILIPPIANS 3:10

25 and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. PHILIPPIANS 3:11

26 There is nothing worse than being grateful and having no one to thank, being in awe and having no one to worship. PHILIP YANCEY

27 We worship God not so much because He needs it, but because we do. JOHN ORTBERG

28 God is the feast of our soul. Beyond this there is no quest. Words fail. JOHN PIPER

29 A devoted follower of Jesus is a vibrant worshipper of God who: Lives all facets of life in response to God s calling through risk-taking faith.

30 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. COLOSSIANS 3:17

31 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, COLOSSIANS 3:23

32 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. COLOSSIANS 3:24

33 A devoted follower of Jesus is a vibrant worshipper of God who: Employs his or her resources of time, talents, and treasures for the sake of God and others.

34 Worship is not a style. It s a lifestyle.

35 Worship is not a style. It s a lifestyle. Worship is a life of applause.
