genuine worship
Gregory Bishop

SUMMARY: The Lion of Judah congregation's fundamental calling is to praise and worship God. The Christmas story highlights the theme of praise and adoration, from the angels appearing to Zacharias during congregational worship to Simeon and Anna spending their days in the temple praying and worshiping. Even John the Baptist leapt in adoration while still in his mother's womb. The author encourages the congregation to have a heart of wonder and astonishment towards God, and to also have a healthy fear of God's power and authority. The three Wise Men understood the spirit of reverence before God and came to pay reverent tribute to the new king being born. Worship is an important part of a believer's life, and there are many words in the Bible that refer to worship.
Worship is the essence of a believer's life and is like breathing. In Psalm 2, it describes the kings conspiring against God, but God has installed his son, Jesus, as king. The wise men came to worship Jesus, and it was prophetic that they were from different countries, as it is a sign that all nations will come to worship Christ. Worship unites us, and it is not just about high ideals or good programs, but about having a common experience of worshiping a king. However, not all worship is sincere, and it is essential to worship with our whole body and be committed and determined to worship Jesus. The Lord Jesus can become our magnificent obsession, and we are a kingdom of priests and worshipers.
The speaker emphasizes the importance of worship and how it needs to be cultivated. Worship can be loud or silent, messy or structured, but the important thing is to participate in it in every aspect of our lives. Worship is not just another act, it is a calling from God. When we worship, we reflect the glory of God. The speaker shares a personal story of a grandmother who was close to death but found faith and her face shone with beauty and joy. The speaker encourages the congregation to be an adoring one that worships in spirit and truth.

God put something on my heart this morning and it works perfectly well with what the kids just did today. And it has to do with our fundamental calling as a congregation, our very core of who we are, our identity.
What does the word Judah mean, we are the Lion of Judah congregation. They don't have to shout it out or anything but if they know what Judah means they can nod. It means praise, adoration. Judah means praise because when Judah was born in the Old Testament, his mom said, “Finally, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to worship the Lord."
