Ten Worship Essentials Part One

Over the next 10 Tuesdays, I want to step back and give you a perspective on what we should bring to God in worship. I have been going over these principles with your ACC Worship Team and together we strive each week to lead from the stage with these in mind.

But it doesn't stop with us on stage. It continues with you as an individual worshiper of God. 

You see, God wants to be worshiped in a specific way.

My hope is that each of these ten principles will help you be a better worshiper of God and understand why we worship and not just how we worship. 

Up front, I want to be forward that these principles did not originate with me. They can be found in an article in Worship Leader Magazine by Darlene Zschech who is one of the Worship Pastors at Hillsong Church in Australia.

Without further ado, let's tackle principle #1

1) The worship of God is holy
God is not common; hence, worship is not a gig, not a right to prove our abilities, not an opportunity to sing our favorite songs. We worship because He is a holy God and we the created - made for His pleasure - worship and serve the Creator because He alone is worthy.


Exodus 15:11 says - Who among the gods is like you, LORD? Who is like you - majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders. 


This week as you drive to and from work, as you sit around the house, as you spend quiet time with God, consider His holiness, His glory and His wonders.
