Today's session point is EVERYTHING WE DO IN LIFE IS TO BE AN ACT OF WORSHIP, as emphasized in Colossians 3:1-17. This passage calls believers to set OUR hearts and minds on things above, putting to death worldly desires and clothing themselves in virtues like compassion, kindness, humility, and love. When we live in gratitude, peace, and service to God—whether in our work, relationships, or daily actions—we reflect true worship, doing everything in the name of Jesus Christ for His glory.

I have 3 points to make:

1. Focus Your Thoughts (Colossians 3:1-5): Set your mind on things above by seeking God's will, rejecting sinful desires, and aligning your thoughts with His purpose.
2. Fortify Your Attitude (Colossians 3:12-15): Clothe yourself in Christlike virtues—compassion, kindness, humility, and love—allowing His peace to rule in your heart and shape your character.
3. Be Faithful in Your Actions (Colossians 3:16-17): Let God's Word dwell in you richly, guiding your words and deeds so that everything you do brings glory to Him.

Today's point is We find all we need when we come to God in worship (Psalm 63:1-11). We will see that David’s perspective in his dire situation was worship instead of fear and despair, choosing to seek God rather than be overwhelmed by his troubles. He focused on the benefits of knowing God—living in His unfailing love, which gave David strength and peace even in difficult times.

I have 3 points to make:

1. Satisfaction in Our Days (Psalm 63:1-5) – When we seek God earnestly, He quenches the thirst of our souls, filling us with joy, purpose, and fulfillment that nothing else can provide.
2. Safety in Our Nights (Psalm 63:6-8) – In the stillness of the night, we find security in God's presence, knowing He upholds and shelters us through every trial.
3. Surety Concerning Our Future (Psalm 63:9-11) – No matter what opposition we face, we have confidence that God will bring justice, protect His people, and fulfill His promises.

While I unpack today’s scripture I ask that you consider this question: WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS IF I WORSHIP GOD?

Today’s lesson comes from Lifeway Adults YOU - Bible Study - Winter 2025.

This week’s session focuses on AUTHENTIC WORSHIP: Authentic worship is a genuine, wholehearted response to God, grounded in spiritual truth and devotion. A positive attitude fosters gratitude and hope, removing distractions and self-focus. This receptive heart enables deep communion, guided by reverence and trust. By maintaining hope, believers transcend challenges, stay anchored in God’s goodness, and enter truly transformative, God-centered worship.

Introduction:Today’s point is that we are to come to God with a heart fully focused on Him alone, because our attitude determines whether we experience authentic worship or simply go through the motions. When we approach God with gratitude and reverence, we open ourselves to a deeper, transformative encounter with His presence.

I have 3 points to make this session:

1. Rejoice in What God Has Done (Psalm 40:1-5): Pause to remember God’s mercy and deliverance, offering joyful praise for His faithfulness.
2. Be Regimented to Do God’s Will (Psalm 40:6-8): Align your daily actions with His Word, choosing obedience as an act of worship.
3. Be Ready to Declare God’s Praise (Psalm 40:9-11): Boldly share God’s works with others, testifying to His goodness and grace.

While I unpack today’s scripture I ask that you consider this question: How can I cultivate authentic worship?
