Worship—It’s What You Do

Louie Giglio
October 1, 2023

Louie Giglio directs listeners to the text of Romans 1 to point to the truth that God is recognizable through creation and people are worshipers by nature. Everyone has breath from God, but it is our responsibility as humans to direct that breath back to the God Who gave it to us.

Key Takeaway

Because you only get one shot, and because you become what you worship, direct your worship to the only God deserving of it.

  1. Worship is not limited to a segment of people.

  2. Worship is not limited to a segment of life.

  3. True worship is a whole-life response to the glory and grace of God.

  4. Worship matters.

“
Worship is our response both personal and corporate to God for who he is and what he has done, expressed in and by the things we say and the way we live.

19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
20For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.

19“Sir,” the woman said, “I can see that you are a prophet.
20Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”
21
“Woman,”
Jesus replied,
“believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22
You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews.

24
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

1Not to us,
Lord
, not to us

but to your name be the glory,

because of your love and faithfulness.

2Why do the nations say,

“Where is their God?”

3Our God is in heaven;

he does whatever pleases him.

4But their idols are silver and gold,

made by human hands.

5They have mouths, but cannot speak,

eyes, but cannot see.

6They have ears, but cannot hear,

noses, but cannot smell.

7They have hands, but cannot feel,

feet, but cannot walk,

nor can they utter a sound with their throats.

8Those who make them will be like them,

and so will all who trust in them.
