2013 MAY WEEK THREE STUDY / ACTIVITY


WEEK 20: Sunday May 19, 2013.

Worship as a Reflection of the Life of Christ

Main Text: Matthew 5:13-16
Memory Verse: Isaiah 29:13

Introduction
In this lesson we shall look at the importance of worship in the disciple’s fellowship with God. We shall also discuss practical ways of worship expected of true Disciples of Christ

Our entire existence and livelihood as people privileged to be called in Christ to be his disciples are to reflect the exemplary life of Christ to glorify God. Our daily walk, relationship with God, interaction with people, and total outlook of life, among others, should reflect true worship. Our understanding of worship should not be limited to mere demonstration of practices taught by men. Rather it should be the outflow of a disciplined life lived in the name of Jesus.

A Pastor had struggled through a journey of 30 km. to visit one of his congregations in a rural community in Ghana. Just as he was about to preach he had a call from a member of the community to help transport a woman in critical condition to a distant health facility. What would you have done if you were the Pastor?


Discussion Questions

  1. How did Christ worship God while he was on earth?
  2. In what ways do you see preaching as a form of worship?
  3. How do you worship God by the way you relate with others?
  4. What does God expect of you in worship?
  5. How do you ensure that your light keeps shining before men?


Conclusion
We were created to worship God. For this reason our daily walk should glorify God. This should reflect in the way we relate with God and with other people. God is only pleased with the way we worship him if he sees Christ being manifested in our conduct.
