This is the lesson one of our Elders taught this last Wednesday evening.

1. IGNORANT
“22 So Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I observe that you are very religious in all respects. 23 “For while I was passing through and examining the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription, ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore what you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you” Acts 17:22-23

2. VAIN
“9 ‘BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.’” My 15:9

3. WILL WORSHIP
“23 These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence.” Col 2:23

4. ACCEPTABLE
“Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe;” Heb 12:28

Ps.122:1 says to be mentally and emotionally involved. Be glad when you can come together to worship God.

“23 But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. 24 “God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” Jn 4:23-24

NEW TESTAMENT WORSHIP THAT WAS ACCEPTABLE
1. Sing
2. Pray
3. Read and exhort from scripture
4. Giving
5. Partake of the Lord’s Supper
