True Worship

Main Point: In 2026, King Jesus will be praised at HCC thru prayer, worship, and giving because God is good and faithful. True Worship is not visible with the human eye; it is a spiritual matter.

God seeks true worshipers

• John 4:23-24.  True worshipers will worship in spirit and in truth.  God seeks true hearts of worship.
  • We want God catching us in an act of true worship.  A genuine heart acting unselfishly for the good of God’s Kingdom.
• 2 Chronicles 16:9. God is looking to and fro for people with genuine hearts toward him. 
  • God will show himself strong thru true worshipers.

What is true worship?

• True worship is not the act of singing songs.  It is a genuine heart singing songs unto the Lord.
• True worship is not the act of going to church. It is a genuine heart in obedience unto the Lord.
• True worship is not an action alone.  It is a genuine heart acting unselfishly for God’s Kingdom.

What does worship look like?

• starts with surrender,
• lives in sacrifice,
• and moves through service.

 
Pastor’s Thoughts:

• Are you living a life surrendered?  Have you determined your will is not as important as God’s will.  It’s not about being comfortable, it is about sacrifice for God’s Kingdom
• Is your life a living sacrifice in existence for the purpose of God’s Kingdom being advanced through you?
• Are you serving rather than being comfortable?  If you are comfortable, you are not serving.

3 points about worship

1. Point 1: The Source of Worship (God's Worth): God is great (Creator/Judge), worthy of all praise (Psalm 96:4).
2. Point 2: The Nature of Worship (Spirit & Truth): It's internal, not external; from the heart, not just lips (John 4:23-24).
3. Point 3: The Scope of Worship (A Life Lived): Surrender, Sacrifice, Service. (Romans 12:1).

 
 
Conclusion:

• True Worship is not visible with the human eye; it is a spiritual matter.
• True worship looks like surrender, sacrifice, and service
• In 2026, pray more, worship more (more surrender, sacrifice and service), and give more
