Topic: Worship [Teens’ Open Heavens 12, April 2018]
Memorise: All nations whom thou has made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. – Psalm 86:9-10
Read: John 4:21-24 (KJV)
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Bible In One Year: 1 Samuel 10-12, Luke 13:22-35
MESSAGE:
When it comes to our relationship with God, worship is a very important and a key part of it. Worship is the adoration, respect or admiration that we give God through our prayers, songs or the state of our hearts. One of the most common forms of worship is by singing songs to God that shows our love to Him, our adoration of His name and of His great works. Moments of true worship are one of the purest for a child of God, because in that time of worship, the world around you is shut out and you have a direct connection to the Heart of God.
A heart of worship is a heart of gratitude, of love and of trust in a God who saved your soul and has promised you a better life in eternity. Never underestimate the power of worship, as it is one of the fastest way to reach the heart of God and is one of the few ways to truly capture God’s attention.
Action Point: From today, set aside an hour every day to worship God from the bottom of your heart.

Hymn 8:
1. Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.
2. Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might;
Thy justice like mountains high soaring above,
Thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.
3. To all life thou givest, to both great and small;
In all life Thou livest, the true life of all;
We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree,
And wither and perish-but nought changeth Thee.
4. Great Father of Glory, pure Father of Light,
Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight;
All laud we would render; o help us to see;
‘Tis only the splendour of light hideth Thee.
5. Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light inaccessible hid from our eyes
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.
