Last week our focus was on worship. We learned that our worship of God is both "individual" and "corporate." Our corporate worship is what we do in an organized way on Sunday morning. It is here where we gather in the Lord's house to give Him praise, honor, glory, and thanks. But we also learned that on Monday through Saturday each person should be involved, and actively engaged in, individual worship. Every day, each born-again believer should be worshipping their Lord and Savior. That is so important, for as each person worships God daily, it will culminate, and be reflected in, our Sunday morning worship service.

Today I want us to focus on "meaningful worship." Meaningful worship begins with recognizing who God is. First, He is holy. Second, He is a jealous God ... wanting our attention only on Him. Third, He is love. Meaningful worship also acknowledges God's acts ... what He has done, and what He continues to do, for us. Meaningful worship also can be shown in various ways. Our worship can be through our laments, praises, and petitions.

It is one thing to attend a worship service. But it's another thing to have personal meaningful worship of God.
