What Worship Looks Like

Main Point:  King Jesus will be praised because God is good and faithful.  True worship looks like surrender, sacrifice, and service.

Foundation Scripture: John 4:23-24.  True worshipers will worship in spirit and in truth.  God seeks true hearts that are genuine in worshipping Him.

What does true worship look like?

• Surrender (How are you Surrendering?)
• Sacrifice (How are you Sacrificing?)
• Service (How are you serving?)

 
Surrender

• Biblical surrender is the willingness to totally yield our own will, desires, and control to God's authority,
  • Viewing it, not as defeat but as courageous trust and obedience to His perfect plan.
• Luke 9:23-24. Deny self and follow Jesus regardless of trials and tribulations.
• Galatians 2:20. It is not our life to live.  We surrender our life for the cause of the Gospel.
• Surrender in one statement:  My life is yours.

Sacrifice

• Biblical Sacrifice is giving something valuable to God as an act of worship, atonement, or thanksgiving.
  • Your time in the secret place, at bible study, serving others, fasting and praying. Etc.
• Romans 12:1. Dedicate yourself completely to Godly Kingdom things.  This is an act of worship.
• Sacrifice in one statement:  Whatever it takes for the Kingdom.

 
Service

• Biblically, service means a loving unselfish action toward God and others, rooted in humility and selflessness, extending beyond mere duty to become a way of life.
• Matthew 25:35-40.  Serving others is Worshipping God.
• 1 Peter 4:10. Serving others is being a good steward of God’s grace toward you
• Service in one statement:  I love to serve others because Jesus first loved me.

 
Pastor’s Thoughts

• When people worship with a genuine heart, God will show himself strong through them.
• God will reward true worshippers with an overflow.
  • The overflow of God’s blessing is what happens when God’s people surrender, sacrifice, and serve

 
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
• King Jesus will be praised. God is good and faithful
