1. What Is Worship? (Psalm 66)
Christian statesman John Stott once said that he felt most alive "in public worship." What is worship, why do Christians do it, and how could it possibly make someone feel powerfully alive? According to Scripture, worship is the overflow of delight, and specifically delight in God. In worship, we tap into a fundamental tendency of the human heart to praise what we find beautiful, and since nothing can be more beautiful than God, worship is an experience of wonder and joy.
Scripture passages cited in this message include Psalm 18:1; 66:1-20; 95:1; 98:1; and 150:6.
