Hickory Valley Community Church

The Attitude of Worship
Preparation is a key to almost everything in life. From athletics, to concerts, to test-taking, preparation helps the participants to make sure they are able to give their best. The same is true when we gather for worship. Having a heart prepared to worship is key to having a great worship experience. As we begin our new sermon series, Everyday Celebration, this Sunday we are going to look at The Attitude of Worship. As we explore Romans 12, we will be examining three key attitudes that prepare our hearts to worship Him!

The word translated present means to make available, to offer, to give, or to give up. Paul is talking here about the idea of letting yourself go, of surrendering yourself completely to God.

Worship isn't about us. Worship is our time to give to God that which he is due. But the paradox is that the more we surrender to him, and the more we offer ourselves as a living sacrifice, the more He blesses us.

The word translated worship originally meant, in Classical Greek, work for hire or work for pay. And over the years, as language has a way becoming more nuanced, this word came to mean serve, and it came to mean that to which a man gives his life.
