This program is brought to you in part by the partners and friends of Creflo dollar ministries.
Coming up next on changing your world. How should we worship God today here on earth?
How should we worship God today here on earth in this dispensation?
So the Bible is clear that if we want our worship to be acceptable to God, we need to find out from Him, how he wants us to worship Him, calling all world changers and those who have been changed by the message of grace.
It’s homecoming time. We’ve been on the road spreading the gospel and now it’s time to bring it home.
That’s right. Grace. Life. 2023 homecoming is upon us and will be an experience like no other.
We are inviting the entire world changers nation home July 13th through the 15th at the World Dome in College Park, Georgia.
Welcome home, world changers. This is your world.
So is vow, get a better place.
Every is the oh, so we break, we are changed.
Now.
What we’re gonna talk about this morning is worshiping God in this dispensation of grace, worshiping God in this dis dis dispensation of grace.
In other words, I’m gonna talk to you about grace based worship.
How did worship change or what was the adjustment to worship after Jesus was raised from the dead and, and turned on this new covenant of grace worship in the dispensation of grace or grace based worship.
And you’re gonna find out that a lot of things that we’ve been doing, we might have been doing it under the old covenant and we are under grace, not under the law.
Amen. And so let’s begin in John 4 2024. And the ministry of Jesus was two fold.
First of all, he showed up to fulfill all of the law, all 613 of them.
And then secondly, he was making a way for this new covenant to come.
And here’s one of the things you’ll see here.
Verse 20 this is uh Jesus, uh he’s talking to the woman at the well and he says our fathers were worshiped in this mountain.
Now put emphasis on he’s saying that they worship in this mountain.
I think judges nine and seven tells you the specific mountain he’s talking about, they worship in this mountain.
And you say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
So now the issue is, you know, you gotta go and worship at this particular mountain or you gotta go worship in Jerusalem.
He said uh verse 21 Jesus said unto them woman believe me the hour cometh when you shall neither in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem worship the father.
So he’s talking about what is coming in this New Testament in this New Testament.
You know, you, you’re not gonna need to worship in this mountain.
You’re not gonna be able to need to worship in Jerusalem.
He says, I assure you the time is coming, the hour is coming when you shall neither, neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem worship the father.
So says, so he’s saying a time is coming where you, you’re not gonna have to worship the Father in that particular mountain or in that particular Tabernacle in Jerusalem verse 22.
He says, you worship, you know not what we know what we worship for salvation is of the Jews, but the hour cometh.
So he’s, he’s referring to this next dispensation, this time of grace, but the hour cometh and now is, oh when the true worshippers, some say true worshipers.
So if there can be true worshipers, huh? There might be worship.
That’s not in truth when the true worshipers shall worship the father.
He says here is the characteristic of a true worship.
They’re gonna worship the father in spirit and in truth, in the Old Testament, their spirits was dead.
So they couldn’t worship the father in spirit. And in truth, they can only worship the Father with their body.
They couldn’t worship the father in spirit and in truth, their spirit was dead.
He says, for the father seeth such to worship him.
So God is seeking worshipers, God is seeking true worshipers that will worship Him in spirit.
And in truth, God is a spirit and they, that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth, very interesting because what we’re gonna find out today is that if you’re gonna worship the Father, you’re gonna have to worship him like he, like he’s telling you to worship him.
And he is saying in this dispensation, you need to worship him.
They worship him in spirit and in truth.
Now, that’s just a little peek into where we’re gonna end up at.
But I want to take you through this journey.
Now, if there’s any, if there’s, if there’s anything that characterizes heaven in the Bible, if there’s anything that gives character or bring character to heaven, it’s worship.
Go to revelations chapter 5 11 and 12. If there’s anything that characterizes uh heaven, it’s worship.
Revelations chapter five verse 11 and 12, then I looked uh and he said, and I, and I, and I heard, he says, I beheld and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beast and the elders and the number of them was 10,000 times 10,000 and thousands of thousands verse 12 saying with a loud voice, watch what they were saying.
Worthy underline that worthy is the lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.
Now, let’s look at that word worship. He, they, they were worshiping in heaven.
This word worship is derived from an older word worth ship worth.
They said worth is a lamb worth ship.
And it means to ascribe or to attribute worth to God worth ship.
It means to ascribe or to attribute worth to God. It means to consider Him as worthy of value.
Do you consider God worthy of value?
It’s the ultimate value of our lives as Christians and in some way to express to Him, our sense of his worth and value to us.
So now that’s a glimpse of the worship of heaven.
But here’s what we want to do with the day.
How should we worship God today here on earth?
How should we worship God today here on earth in this dispensation?
So the Bible is clear that if we want our worship to be acceptable to God, we need to find out from Him, how he wants us to worship Him.
So we go to the b the Bible to find out how do you want us to worship you?
Now, Genesis four, go to Genesis chapter four verse four through five in the N L T Genesis 44 through five.
Now, why is this important for us to find out how you want, how he wants us to worship Him?
Because King discovered early on there is acceptable worship and unacceptable worship.
Look what happened in verse four and five in N L T.
Abel also brought a gift, the best portions of the first born lamb from his flocks.
The Lord accepted Abel’s and his gift, but he did not accept Kane and his gift.
Wow, this made Kane very angry and you know the story there.
But Kane discovered that day that you just can’t decide to do anything and it be acceptable.
And I think somehow in church, we kind of decide to do what we wanna do and we kind of expect God to accept it.
But here’s the thing, this is one place, this area of worship.
This is one place where we do not write the rules, we don’t write the rules and yet we have.
And so I’m attempting today to just show you where we’ve done it.
So we’ll quit trying to write rules and find out what is acceptable to God and what is not acceptable to God.
So here’s what we’re gonna be focused on today.
Romans chapter 12 versus one, Romans 12 and one.
Let’s read it in the uh King James and then the N L T I watch what he says.
I bet you therefore brethren by the mercies of God.
Now this mercy is I’ll show you in a moment is the mercy in Romans 11 that he talked about a specific mercy that you present your bodies.
Somebody might say bodies that you present your bodies, a living sacrifice wholly acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service or your worship.
Look at this in N L T.
So he he says in L T he says, and so dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God.
And so I’m like, how do I give my body to God?
Because of all He has done for you.
Let them be a living, your bodies, a living and a holy sacrifice, the kind he will find acceptable.
This truly, this is truly the way to worship him.
So verse one is truly the way to worship him.
And what does verse one present your bodies to God as a living sacrifice? How do I do that?
Because he’s saying that’s how you truly worship Him in this dispensation.
Now, we, we, we’ve been, we’ve, we’ve, we’ve invented all kinds of ways of what that means to present your body to God.
We gotta get this one because this is the, this is the true worship that Jesus was talking about.
And here he says, present your bo your bodies, dude, your bodies to God.
You guys just think well, that means, you know, do right with your body and then that’ll be your sacrifice.
Your sacrifice is when your body wanna do something wrong, just do right with your body.
And that’s your reasonable service and we, we keep making stuff up.
Well, today I wanna go line by line and, and see if we can see what he’s talking about here.
Paul writes here about our reasonable service.
Now, this word service, you can do your, your own study here, but this word service could just as well be translated worship.
You see the N L T using the word worship instead of service.
Now, sometimes you see people on, on their signs our service time or, or, or worship time.
So those can be used interchangeably, the same word service is used several times in Hebrews chapter nine.
Go to Hebrews chapter nine. It’s used several times, but it means worship.
So when you see your service to God, he’s also talking about your worship to God.
Now look at verse one. Hebrews chapter nine, verse one.
He says, then indeed, even the first covenant that first covenant of the law had ordinances of divine service or divine worship and, and the earthly sanctuary, which is the Tabernacle, which I’m gonna show you in a moment.
So here Paul’s word service in verse one, it’s translated by a fuller phrase, divine service.
So the writer of Hebrews is describing the worship that God ordained.
He uses the word, the ordinances under the law of Moses for the people of Israel.
So we’re getting ready to dig into Israel’s worship, worship before grace, worship before the dispensation of grace.
So he begins in verse one, writing about the earthly sanctuary, referring, referring to the Tabernacle in the wilderness.
Um Let, let me, let me, so you can see just some real things.
This is, if you look at slide one, this is the Tabernacle in the wilderness is what we’re talking about here, slide one and slide two.
But this was in the wilderness.
Uh And this was a, a tent and that’s how that was the Tabernacle that he’s talking about.
And then if you go to slide two, you see a little close up shot.
This is, this is the real thing. This is, this is the Tabernacle that was located in the wilderness.
And so this had a lot to do with Israel’s worship referring to that Tabernacle.
And then later on, after the Tabernacle, uh it would later on talk about the temple that stood in the center of Jerusalem where the worship of Israel was continually carried out.
So he goes on to a detailed explanation of Israel’s worship. Let’s look at that uh verse two through five.
So he’s getting ready to give a detailed situation of Israel’s worship.
See, I’ve gotta show you Israel’s worship before I can show you worship under grace.
So you can compare and contrast there.
So he says, for Tabernacle was prepared, the first part in which was the lamp stand, the table, the show bread, which is called the, the, the sanctuary or the holy place.
And behind the second veil, the part of the, which is called the holiest of all which had the golden altar of incense, the arc of the covenant, overlaid on all sides with gold and which were golden pots that had the man you had Aaron’s rod that but and the tables of the co the tablets of the covenant, you know, the ones that God wrote on and above it were the above.
You had a share of bends of glory overshadowing of their mercy seat, put the drawing up just for a moment.
They was, they were over sharing the mercy seat.
So basically, as the writer describes the worship that God commanded for Israel, he walks us through the Tabernacle, describing the architecture.
Now listen to this carefully.
If a person in Israel wanted to worship the Lord, he couldn’t do it in just any way that he desired.
He couldn’t just do it wherever he wanted to do it. Any place that he desired.
God had a prescribed way of worship that was acceptable to him.
And the Israelites had to obey or they would be guilty of breaking the covenant.
So to worship the Lord, he had to go to a particular city Jerusalem to a certain building the temple.
And then he would have to be concerned about certain furniture, certain relics that had to be present about a certain ritual and the proper sacrifices and the manner of performing those sacrifices.
He had to be concerned about a priesthood and the calendar and the yearly cycle of the fees and the weekly Sabbath.
And later in the same passage we read about in Hebrews nine and 10, we read later on that they’re not talking about the foods and the drinks, the various washings and the fleshly ordinance worship for Israel was a complex undertaking, but these were God’s instructions about how he wanted them to worship him.
They, they just didn’t show up and tell, you know, I ain’t gonna serve a God.
I can’t feel sometime and then start doing cartwheel somewhere. You you couldn’t do that.
Now, let’s go back to Romans 12 verse one, I wish I could spend time on all the diagrams and stuff, but I just, just enough for you to follow me is everybody with me, everybody on the journey, everybody’s still on the bus right now.
Verse one, let’s read it again. I beat you.
Therefore brethren by the mercies of God that you present your bodies, a living sacrifice wholly acceptable to God, which is your what reasonable service.
So the 12th chapter of Romans is full of instructions on practical aspects of living the Christian life.
And so it’s so important that you understand that Paul deals with this issue of worship in verse one.
So we need to notice something about Romans chapter one.
We need to notice the dispensation of emphasis that when Paul writes, I bet you by the mercies of God, he’s not referring to the mercy of the Lord in general, but he’s talking about a specific mercy that he has just written about in chapter 11.
Let’s go check it out. Romans 11 30 31 context is king. Let’s talk.
Let’s look exactly what mercy is he referring to? Romans chapter 11 verse 30 and 31.
He says here for as you, for as you and he’s referring to you, gentiles were, were once disobedient to God.
Yet have now obtained mercy through their referring to Israel’s disobedience.
Even so these referring to the Jews also now have been disobedient that through the mercy shown you, they also may obtain mercy.
Now let me read out of King James.
So you can kind of be with me here verse uh 30 go back 30 for as ye in times past, have not believed God talk about Giles in times past, have not believed God yet have now obtained mercy have now obtained mercy through their unbelief through Israel’s unbelief.
The gentiles obtain mercy. When Israel did believe mercy came on the gentiles verse 31.
Even so have these, these Jews referring to also now not believe that through your mercy, they also may obtain mercy.
So then let me just make a real plain to you.
Mercy came on the gentiles because Jewish people didn’t believe and receive Jesus.
But when mercy came on the gentiles, it now qualified the Jewish people to have mercy.
Glory to God, pray salvation for Israel. Amen. Now here Paul describes the changing of dispensations, dispensations.
In times past Israel had fellowship with God while the gentiles were far off without God without hope in this world.
And yet now, because of Israel’s disobedience, the gentiles have, have obtained mercy.
The messiah had come to Israel in fulfillment of the promises made to their father.
But the people of Israel had rejected him and they crucified him and still he prayed, father, forgive them for, they know not what they do.
And so we read in the early chapters of the book of Acts, how the Holy Spirit came.
And the Holy Spirit began to preach forgiveness to Israel if they will repent and believe in their risen and ascended Messiah.
But again, Israel was disobedient, persecuting the uh the apostles and finally stoning Stephen, a man filled with the Holy Spirit right now.
Watch this. We’re almost there. Somebody said, dog, I feel like I’m in school good now because of Israel’s disobedience.
Romans chapter 11 and verse 15 says that God cast them away and raised up a new apostle Paul who was actually the leader of Israel’s disobedience.
So he took Paul who was a pharisee and who was the leader of Israel’s disobedience.
And what did he do with Paul? He saved Paul by pure grace.
Revealed to him a hitherto, a secret program.
He revealed to Paul, there’s a new dispensation of the grace of God.
In fact, I want you to see this look at Ephesians 31 and two.
He revealed to Paul, he took a, he took the leader of Israel’s rebellion, expose them to pure grace on the road to Damascus.
It’s almost like, how are you gonna argue with the guy who is a leader? Yes.
It’s like I’m telling people about grace now and they’re telling me about what I tell them.
I was one of the leaders, I was one of the leaders of living by the law.
Glory to God. And so the grace of God comes over your life.
You would think one of the leaders of the rebellion had to see something that powerful.
He was a zealot. You understand, he was zealous about the law.
There must have been something about this grace that he made his mind up.
I’m never going back there no more as long as I live.
And some of you understand, when you were operating under the law and condemnation and shame and once you got a hold of the gospel of the grace of God, you made your mind up.
I’m never going back to that way of living no more. As long as I live.
Somebody said, why?
Because this way of grace is too good to be true.
It’s the too good to be true news about what Jesus has done for me. I’m never going back.
Glory to God. I have been set free from shame, set free from guilt, set free from condemnation.
I’ve been set free from hell. I’ve been set free from all of that junk.
Glory to God and now I stand in Him, not of my own, but it is Christ that lives in me and what I could not do, he is not able to do it through me.
Glory to God. It seems like every Christian has their own definition of what worship is.
But what does God have to say about it in his series? Discovering the essence of worship.
