Rhythms of the Christian life - The Rhythm of Praise
Sermon for Sunday February 12, 2012 at New Life Christian Church, Hudson NH, Pastor Ken Heath.
Discussion Guide : The Rhythm of Praise
Today's sermon spoke about five key principles to consider and four worship actions that can be woven into the fabric of your day to bring glory to God and joy to your life. Review these principles and actions and discuss how they can be applied to your typical day.
1. You are created for praise (Isa 43:7) • In what ways do you praise the Lord in your day?
2. Your work is worship (Col 3:17) • Have you ever thought of your work, whether inside the home or outside the home, as an act of worship on your part? Why does God consider it as such? • What's the difference between an act of worship and an act of self-interest?
3. You become what you behold (Psalm 63:1-2, Heb 12:2) • Is there a dominant thought that rules your typical day? If it's true that you become what you behold, what are you truly beholding right now and what is that leading you to become?
4. Bring church to your world (Psalm 63:3-5) (sing, pray, listen, offer) • The sermon spoke of four worship actions to bring with you from church: a. How do you feel about singing to God? How could you add this to your day? b. What's an effective way to incorporate times of prayer in your busy day? c. How can you listen to God directly, as well as indirectly though others at work? d. How might you bring an "offering" to the workplace or life at home?
5. Remember God to worship God (Psalm 63:6) • The Bible records many instances where God exhorts His followers to not forget who He is or what He has spoken. What can you do in your typical day (or night) to keep the reality of God ever before you?
