Extravagant Worship: Part 2

James Vore

December, 3, 2017

In our ANCHOR series, Louie Giglio reminds us that although we won’t always feel like worshiping, and although there will be difficult times ahead, worship is ALWAYS the right response to a nail-pierced Jesus holding open the door to Heaven.

Scripture References

11So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers,

12to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up

13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

14Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.

15Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.

12And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood.

13Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.

14For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.

15Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise—the fruit of lips that openly profess his name.

16And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

9But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.

10Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
