1. Good intention doesn't make up for wrong worship
Worship is an act or practice expressing devotion, reverence, and adoration towards God.
"the road to destruction is paved with good intentions. Intentions are not enough; we must submit ourselves to the authority of the Word, be mindful to learn and obey the Word, and neglect no part of the Word.”

THIS WEEK'S TAKEAWAYS
Key Theme:
We are to worship God according to His standards, rather than relying solely on good intentions, human preferences, or norms in our culture.

1. Do we believe good intentions are all that matter?
2. Have we become too familiar with the holy one who sits upon the throne
3. Are we following God’s given expectations for gathering and a life of worship?

5. Do you walk in a God centered humility?
6. Is your heart one of a true worshipper?

Church family, we praise God for how faithfully in so many respects you give. Our church family is undeniably generous, but we still have great needs for supplication. We ask that you give joyfully, faithfully and sacrificially in response to how our great God and Savior has given to us.
