What is Worship?

Louie Giglio

June, 30, 2019

This week, Louie Giglio dives into the true meaning of worship and what it looks like to live a life committed to bringing glory to Jesus.

Key Takeaway

What is worship? For something to be worshiped, there has to be a sacrifice. If we want the fire to fall on our lives, we must ask ourselves if we have laid anything of value on our altar.

Discussion Questions

What are you trusting in more than God that needs to go onto the altar today?
Which of the ways of the “people” have you gladly embraced?
What relationship needs to go?
What false hope needs to end?
Are you willing to obey God in the step He is leading you to take right now?

Scripture References

1After a long time, in the third year, the word of the

Lord

came to Elijah: “Go and present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the land.”

10When the

Lord

your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build,

11houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied,

12be careful that you do not forget the

Lord

, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

13Fear the

Lord

your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name.

14Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you;

15for the

Lord

your God, who is among you, is a jealous God and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of the land.

29In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria over Israel twenty-two years.

30Ahab son of Omri did more evil in the eyes of the

Lord

than any of those before him.

31He not only considered it trivial to commit the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, but he also married Jezebel daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and began to serve Baal and worship him.

32He set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he built in Samaria.

33Ahab also made an Asherah pole and did more to arouse the anger of the

Lord

, the God of Israel, than did all the kings of Israel before him.

19Now summon the people from all over Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel. And bring the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table.”

20So Ahab sent word throughout all Israel and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel.

21Elijah went before the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the

Lord

is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.”

But the people said nothing.

38Then the fire of the

Lord

fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.

6And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
