It’s not about you, but it is for you.
“You are worthy, O Lord our God,
to receive glory and honor and power.
For you created all things,
and they exist because you created what you pleased.”

Exalt the Lord our God!
Bow low before his feet, for he is holy!
Psalm 99:5 NLT
Worship That Allows Us to Enjoy God
Wholly Deserved By God
Worship the Lord in all his holy splendor.
Let all the earth tremble before him.
Psalm 96:9 NLT
All honor and glory to God forever and ever! He is the eternal King, the unseen one who never dies; he alone is God. Amen.
1 Timothy 1:17 NLT
Glory
Entertaining God’s Presence
Worship is a relational thing, not just an event.
Confession
“Confession reminds us that none of us gather for worship because we are “pretty good people.” But we are new people, people marked by grace in spite of ourselves because of the work of Christ.”
“In these small moments that reveal my lostness and brokenness, I need to develop the habit of admitting the truth of who I am—not running to justify myself or minimize my sin. And yet, in my brokenness and lostness, I also need to form the habit of letting God love me, trusting again in his mercy, and receiving again his words of forgiveness and absolution over me.”
“Repentance is not usually a moment wrought in high drama. It is the steady drumbeat of a life in Christ and, therefore, a day in Christ.”
