Scripture
"For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.”
(Words of Jesus in Luke 19:10 NLT)
Thoughts for the Day
Worship and witness go together. The God whom we passionately worship is passionate about lost humanity. In today's Scripture, Jesus explains that he came to earth to save the lost. To reach out to them. To teach them. And to die on the cross for everyone who has ever lived or will live.
Lost people matter to God. What does that tell us about our worship services? Worship must be God centered and seeker sensitive.
Consider this …
1 Corinthians 10:31 (NLT) says, "So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
God is not glorified when we show no sensitivity to the sincere seekers among us. We need to seek to accomplish two goals in our mission of worship:
1. Serve God with our praise.
2. Serve people with God's sufficiency.
In a nutshell, what is worship that pleases God? Worship that pleases God attracts the lost and does not confuse or repel them.
Corporate worship can either make unbelievers say, "You're nuts" and leave as fast as they can . . . or make them fall on their face and say, "God is truly among you."
Which is happening in your church?
Father, help us worship you by being sensitive to the lost. By reaching out to them with your love. By being a funnel for your light to shine on them to the point they will worship Jesus passionately. In his name . . .
